It is rather lacking in health and resistance, despite being larger and more expensive than some dreadnoughts, however it has a huge cargo hold (totaling 12,500) and is remarkably fast for its size. | ||

The interior is largely confined to the cockpit. A hallway with a teleporter can be found at the back of the ship, leading to the cockpit, which consists of a main walkway leading through the cylindrical room, ending at a seat with panels surrounding it. There is an image at the back of the room of what appears to be a screenshot of the cockpit, with wreckage that can be seen out of the window, however it is difficult to determine the contents of the photograph due to its small size. | The interior is largely confined to the cockpit.
