The Executor

The Executor‏‎

Pirate Ship of Captain Nocturna

the Executor seems to be a genuine SII Vortex Destroyer (Corporate security )

The 320 m long Executor of the female pirate conforms in all design aspects with the excellent SII Vortex.

The Vortex was originally designed to replace the Baracuda class destroyers of the Union Spatial Navy but its design was deemed to big as the original Barracuda was only 154 meters long and was primarily found as an auxillary craft aboard Battleships. To adopt the Vortex as a replacement would have meant to change  all the hangar facilities. The fleet opted for the ADCAP Barracuda instead, but did order 120,000 Vortex as Special forces Union Frigates.

The Vortex design was also adopted by SII as a Corporate security destroyer and approximatley 600,000 are in service with SII.

A small number of "C" types were sold on the Union market.

(A type - latest tech - Class X weapons, Mil Tech shields sensors and other equipment)

(B type - latest tech - Class IX weapons - Shield Tech Corporate classified - No Union Mil tech [so they say])

(C type - Open tech (non classified) No weapons above Class VI - The best civilian shields - No Union Mil tech)

(X type - Test and experimental)

How Captain Nocturna gained posession of a Vortex is not known. Even though the Red Dragon claims she had it custom made to her specs - Which would require her to be a Union citizen with substantial funds. A Vortex C in basic configuration runs in the neighborhood of  3.5 Billion credits)

There is little information regarding the specs of the Executor. But in a classified assessment made by the crew of the USS Tigershark. The ship had full specs of a Type A except for Translocators, Loki torpedoes and TransDim shields. The ship however sported Union mil tech sensors, tripple para dim shields and the latest ISAH engines (Type XXI)  Along with Compacted Ultronit armor and DeNoir Excocet Ship to ship missiles)
