Doctor / Field Medic
Sharp-tongued, observant, and steady under pressure. Rhea keeps the crew alive when they make that nearly impossible.
Prototype cruiser / stolen Federated Colonies test ship
The Ghostline began as Test Ship Gamma, a stolen experimental cruiser. It is fast, unstable, heavily modified, and more dangerous because of Malak’s piloting and Elias’s repairs.
The prototype engine bends localized inertia fields, allowing sudden acceleration, sharp turns, and impossible vector changes. It makes the ship special, but also dangerous to overuse.
The Ghostline is built for mobility, ambushes, disabling shots, and hit-and-run combat. It is not meant to trade fire with larger warships for long.
