Eminent Domain

Eminent Domain
Owned and captained by Ohta "Blackfinger" Tembo under a Letter of Marque for the Shih Dynasty, the privateer vessel Eminent Domain was originally an Endeavour class light cruiser, a Hegemon Navy warship pattern designed from the ground up with a specialised anti-fleet configuration. Sporting heavy torpedo launchers and an energised ramming prow, along with maneuverability comparable to destroyer classes, the Eminent Domain excelled as a lone wolf corsair vessel once it came under Blackfinger's command, and its captain's eclectic approach to technology of dubious legality and not necessarily human artifice saw it upgraded with a wide assortment of tools to make his chosen profession and the taking of prizes that much easier.

Subsequent to the Eminent Domain's rescue from a gravitational doldrum preventing conventional Hegemon FTL travel, the ship was given a Mars Federation Data Core and nanofoundry, which was quickly integrated into the ship. This allowed the FTL drives to be replaced in-situ using the highly advanced Mars Federation technology, along with a whole host of other utilitarian, defensive and offensive modifications from the long-lost, vastly technologically superior human civilisation.

As of the collapse of Sol into a singularity, the Eminent Domain is utterly unrecogniseable compared to stock blueprints of its original pattern, and has been so heavily and so thoroughly transformed that it is essentially a pocket battleship of unique design, serving as a secondary flagship of the Dynasty.
