Several Kriel Shades were acquired as scrap and it was thought that they could be upgraded a little. While in the shipyard they were both cut apart in the cargo bay area and the end section of one was attached to the original one providing extra interior space a few additional thrusters and weapons pods.

Futher work was completed on the ship upgrading the external structure and plating to Combat Steel for additional durabiltiy. T2 RCS were added to aid in ship movement.

Being an end game CV the CPU's were upgraded to Tier 4, a T1 and T2 shield unit were installed for additional protection from unwanted customs patrols. Power generation has been upgraded with the addition of two more T1 Generators for extra power during evasive maneuvers.

There are a total of 10 cannon turrets, of which 8 are retractable. Sentry Guns were added to the front entry and the read cargo door for protection against unwelcome guests. Forward 4 rocket launchers were installed along with two heavy laser drills. These can be swapped around as required when in drydock. A late addition to the ship was a long range detection unit that recently came on the market.

Inside there is 1 advanced constructor and 2 small constructors. Cargo Capacity allow for a 156k and 152K cargo lockers with additional storage provided by a 152k Ore and wood cargo bay. 4 additional 32k cargo boxes are provided for miscellaneous storage. Ship Ammo storage is provided by 2 lockers with capacities of 42k and 44k

The 18 grow plots still exist for a variety of meals and the fridge and food processor is now only located in the crew compartment. There is an armor locker, repair station and dedicated cargo boxes for weapons and ammunition. the crew is also provided with a full medical bay within the crew quarters along with a O2 dispenser. In the cargo bay a O2 dispenser is present along with medic station and clone chamber. The cargo bay also has a full T2 repair station available for damaged craft.

With the additional capabilities of the extended cargo bay and the replacement of the hull with combat steel, the ship can take a more aggressive posture against bandits or customs patrols as needed.
