Black Avarice

The Black Avarice was a commandeered and heavily-modded Tyranian mining vessel complete with retractable, metallic, tendril-like arms that could grasp multiple objects and lift it back into the cargo hold quickly. These "mining hooks" were upgraded in the final year of the ships' official use by the Tyranian government with Prototype drill lasers to dig deep into the mountainous rocks that dotted Tyrania's landscape.

The Black Avarice was stolen and christened as such by the notorious Krand galactic pirate, Sorus Arturian, who became famous alongside his ship for raiding trade ships and carriers as well as military vessels along the Rim, sabotaging trade in the luscious mid-west of the Rim while leaving the more middle-class and destitute colonies alone.

The Black Avarice had a sizable cargo hold meant for holding the precious rocks and minerals Tyrania was famous for producing. This made it ideal to hold contraband and goods that Sorus could smuggle to many different worlds for profit. Its prototype mining hooks became used to drill into vaults or the hulls of ships and steal precious items directly. It also, according to Sorus himself, had various hidden and concealed areas where Sorus could hide contraband or himself and his crew or even weapons when needed if the vessel was ever boarded.

The Black Avarice was stocked with many tricky and well-designed traps and tricks to escape capture, including detachable seismic pulse generators, flash-bang detonators, hydraulic rotation, and "supped-up" thrusters that could outfly many patrols and interceptor-class fighters. While the Black Avarice did boast the ability to travel at Starspeed thanks to a built-in military-grade Lazarus generator, the generator suffered plasma-damage during a space battle with multiple fighters and, since, has yet to be repaired and can only travel at Starspeed a few times before needing to cool down.
