- Armament: Phaser emitters (forward firing), Microtorpedo launchers, Ion Emitter Cannon
- Name: Gypsy Legend
Notes: While the original Bajoran hardware was adequate for short distance combat, Yladro's needs for extreme maneuverabilty required the removal of the original propulsion system. In the empty cavity that would normally house the highly-inefficient Coanda-cycle chemical/air-ram system, Lt Keely Lah'rel installed a micro-warp core and impulse drive taken from a surplus Type 6 shuttle components. Lt Keely also fitted the Type 6 warp nacelle elements within the undercarraige of the vessel and replaced the weaponry, computer, RCS, SIF and IDF accordingly.
In 2381.08, during a covert mission disguised as Maquis, Yladro and crew journeyed to DS9 - enroute Yladro found an enormous stash of gold-pressed latinum in various denominations. Yladro was recognized by Quark from a wine bottle label design featuring her cariacture - apparently her uncle's winery on Sol III found a supplier to DS9 - and after pressing Yladro for a photograph for his nephew Nog, Yladro turned the tables on the infamous barkeep and requested to purchase her own small spacecraft. Knowing that visiting Andorian, Tamlovt, had one stored in his freighter, Quark brokered a deal costing 9 bars and 10 strips of gold-pressed latinum, a mere fraction of what Yladro had found. Purchased with a functional propulsion and life-support system sans weaponry, Yladro and Keely took the small vessel back home to the USS Constitution-B.
In 2383 Yladro's enhanced vessel was fitted with a prototype ion emitter cannon (capable of frying electromechanical devices) and successfully used to avert a full-fledged Borg attack on Duronis II.
Accomodations
- Crew: One Pilot and optional passenger/cargo
Armament
- 2 Microtorpedo Launchers (forward) with four microtorpedos each
- Type 6 Shuttle Phaser Emitters (forward only)
- External hardpoints for additional microtorpedo launchers
- Ion Emitter Cannon - EMF Disruptor
Notes
This is an old fighter/raider from the latter end of Cardassian occupation of Bajor, used by the underground and later sold to various merchants. Having gone through extensive modifications over the past two years by Lt Keely Lah'rel, including the addition of a micro-warp drive taken from a scrapped Peregrine as well as additional structural reinforcements supplied by surplus shuttles at the Lokesh City Spaceport on Duronis II, the operational capabilities of this spacecraft far exceeds its intended usage, thus meriting the appropriate recategorization of "marauder". With its ability to fold-up its atmospheric wings after landing and therefore compressing/compacting its footprint, the Marauder is currently stored in the Workbee area aboard the USS Constitution-B.
