Overview

A stripped-down corvette running dark paint and a spoofed transponder, the Nightshade Vow is the Red Veil Cartel's favored ship for running weapons and spike drive components into the Shattered Belt under cover of the mining traffic. Fast, armored, and willing to fight its way out of trouble.
