====== Pirate Steel Vulture ======

{{:spaceships:spaceships-pirate-steel-vulture.jpg?nolink|Pirate Steel Vulture}}

===== Description =====

The "Steel Vulture" is an old, decommissioned spacecraft long past its prime, but available on the black market at a bargain price. Its low cost and easy availability make it especially popular among smugglers, pirates and illegal resource miners. The ship may not be particularly powerful or well equipped, but it gets the job done for those willing to take a risk. The "Steel Vulture" is a reliable workhorse for shady operations where speed and firepower matter less than the ability to travel through space on a tight budget.
