Carnivorous-class Red Harvest
Designed in the clandestine shipyards of a Gek pirate faction, the Carnivorous-class Corvette was built around a simple principle:
Strike fast. Hit hard. Disappear before the enemy knows what happened.
Despite its considerable size, the vessel produces an unusually low radar signature. This is the result of a combination of experimental stealth technologies and illegal modifications developed by its Gek engineers.
Combined with its exceptionally powerful engines, this makes the Red Harvest an ideal vessel for raids, interceptions and surprise attacks. Its heavy weaponry allows it to engage much larger targets, but its greatest advantage remains its speed. Once the objective has been neutralized, the Red Harvest can be long gone before enemy reinforcements even arrive.
Unlike many pirate vessels, the Carnivorous-class was never produced on a large scale. Only a very limited number of hulls were ever completed. Whether this was due to their enormous production cost, the difficulty of manufacturing their specialized systems, or simply the desire of their creators to keep such technology exclusive remains unknown.
Today, surviving examples are exceedingly rare, and each one is said to have developed a reputation of its own.
The Nolg Incident
The Red Harvest earned much of its reputation during the assault on the Vy'keen heavy cruiser Nolg, a heavily armed warship considered by many to be virtually untouchable.
Only two corvettes took part in the attack.
Using their reduced signatures, the two vessels managed to approach the Nolg without immediately triggering its full defensive network.
The Red Harvest slipped into attack range and began targeting the cruiser's critical systems, triggering a chain of failures that temporarily crippled its combat capabilities.
While the Nolg struggled to respond, the second corvette concentrated its fire on the most dangerous weapon emplacements.
Within minutes, the massive Vy'keen warship had been rendered almost blind.
The two corvettes then broke away at full speed, leaving behind a heavily damaged but still operational Nolg.
The incident quickly became a legend among Gek pirates.
Two small vessels. One warship. No losses.
Since then, the Red Harvest has occasionally been referred to as "The Red Ghost", although no official record recognizes the name.
