The Reach · Vessel
Capt. Mara Quint's privateer cutter — a fast, lethal frontier hull run under lease-skins / false transponders (it can pull on a clean civilian identity — grain-tender, survey sloop — to flag as a nothing).
Designation
patchwork-hull
What her era can carry. Kinetics baseline. Coil and rail accelerators, finite magazines, point defence, interceptors.
The era that fights a war. The boundary-weapon family is FOUNDED here — the lance descends from the S1B2 coupling aimed at a target's harmonic relationship — and is new, rare and barely understood at the close.
Converted. Whatever her donor hull had, plus whatever the conversion managed before the schedule ran out.
⚠ A ceiling, not a fit — what a hull of this class could carry in this era, derived from the capability ladder rather than stated for this ship. She may well carry less; she is never shown carrying more. Source: Era tier T4 (bible/48 §3.1 lineage; S11-ENDGAME-LOCK.md) · role inferred from class/description.
The record
Capt. Mara Quint's privateer cutter — a fast, lethal frontier hull run under lease-skins / false transponders (it can pull on a clean civilian identity — grain-tender, survey sloop — to flag as a nothing).
• B3: rival flier at the Brightfall lane-opening race, a half-length off Salazar's wing (Ch1); a dangerous route presence; at the Causeway fires the seam war's first shot — a kinetic into the survey sloop Pellan from a hull wearing a grain-tender's transponder, destroying it (First Blood, Ch27).
Semi-independent privateer hired by / under Vossberg's Sundgren Combine.
• Pellan — destroys it at First Blood (Ch27). • ISV Lodestar — Salazar's racing rival (Ch1); on the wrong side at First Blood (Ch27).
