The Hazeroth class comprises a variety of raider vessels of similar size and firepower. Many have been known to operate from the infamous Hazeroth Abyss (hence the name), and are popular with privateers. Most sacrifice cargo space and armour for improved engines and reinforced interior bulkheads, allowing them to flee anything they cannot fight.  The ''Hound of Albion'' fits this description perfectly, often sneaking up unseen on an enemy before striking, and running swiftly if the battle turns against them.

Amongst the low-decks indentured crew, strange perversions of the Imperial Creed have arisen, glorifying death to celebrate the Emperor. Reduce Crew Population permanently by 8.

The Hound of Albion is a new name for an old pirate vessel that has been plying the area around Footfall for centuries.

Pirates are known for using whatever vessels they can lye their hands on. If possible, they prefer light, fast raiding ships to strike fast and flee quickly. Speed is essential, since few pirate vessels can stand toe-to-toe with a true warship.

Ship's Captain

Captain Harris Redbeard is an ex-pirate, though in many situations it seems that only his employment under Drake keeps him on the legal side of things. Still, his great understanding of strike and fade tactics has been an asset.

History

Harris Redbeard was born on Footfall, a son to what passes as nobility on that far-flung hive of scum and villainy.

Rules

Smash and Grab Captain Redbeard's piratical experience has given him unique insight on how to grab valuable items off of starships in very short amounts of time. When he performs a Hit & Run action, he provides 1d5x10 Achievement points (max 100/battle). In addition, performing Hit & Run attacks does not count against the number of extended actions his ship may take.

Strike and Fade Captain Redbeard has no stomach for long battles. Starting on the fifth round of combat, his ship suffers a -5 crew rating, and can no longer use the 'Put your backs into it' extended action.
