Angler

Angler

"Why are we dropping out of hyperspace?!"

- Imperial transport captain, about to receive a very rude surprise.

The Angler began life as a normal, Star Galleon-class frigate, under the command of the Cathar mercenary, Sylvak. Following a devastating pirate ambush, the ship (then known as the Archer), had to be practically rebuilt. The outlaw mechanic, Syd N'aanzi, took the opportunity to turn the average, everyday frigate into something unique: he gutted the ship's internal systems, removing most of its weaponry and cargo space and replacing it with a gravity well projector stolen from an Imperial shipyard. The projector, one of four normally mounted on an Interdictor cruiser, allowed the Wilders to stage ambushes on enemy transports and warships, yanking them out of hyperspace and pounding the bewildered ships with weapons fire before they could begin to assess the situation.
