The '''Black Scarab''' is a pirate-themed [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnought]] given as a quest reward during the [[Halloween Event 2020]]. It is rather unique among ships in that it is themed after a traditional sea-based vessel rather than a spaceship, as evidenced by its deck, mast, and the ram positioned below the bow. Otherwise, its theming is largely black and red, with smokestacks positioned to the rear of the ship and large banks of thrusters attached to the bottom left and right sides. Pipes can also be seen running along the sides of the ship above a set of smaller fins. | The '''Black Scarab''' is a pirate-themed [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnought]] given as a quest reward during the [[Halloween Event 2020]].

The '''Black Scarab''' has a semi-full interior that contains a passageway to and from the AA guns and the entrance, leading up into the helm of the ship. The helm of the ship is very basic with wood paneling, a seat, and a steering column that overlooks the front of the ship. | The '''Black Scarab''' has a semi-full interior that contains a passageway to and from the AA guns and the entrance, leading up into the helm of the ship.
