Jallova ESC-DR4 "Gazing Wyvern"

Share

The Jallova Exploration Space Corvette DR4 "Gazing Wyvern" is the mother ship of the Dreamstalkers, a guild of explorers that, as the war progresses, found themselves hired more and more often as scouts by various governments.


As so, they decided to commission Jallova, a ship builder known for their excentric designs, to create a new ship for them, better fitted for what was about to unfold.


And thus, the Gazing Wyvern was born. With an unorthodox, articulated design, it boasts a speed and FTL range that most of the other guild flagships can only dream of, with a surprising agility for its size. It may not be the ship with the best armament or shields, but, as Tora Glia, the Dreamstalkers' founder puts it: "What you dodge can't hurt you, and we are adamant on dodging as much as possible".


However, this is not to say that the Wyvern is defenseless while under attack. Indeed, it has missile launchers and drone builders embedded in its tail, and the cannon-looking structure on its back is actually a star fighter launching bay, enabling pilots to enter battle at full speed. The most powerful weapon that it is equiped with is its Drake Stare, a massive, highly destructive concussive light beam. While it can only be maintained for a few seconds, it can tear open most electromagnetic shields and shred armor plating apart with frightening efficiency. However, it comsumes a lot of energy, which makes it somewhat of a last ditch weapon.


With a length of 230 meters, a maximum height of 45 meters, and a width of 25 meters, the Gazing Wyvern is surprisingly compact for its ship class, a fact that is only accentuated by its ability to fold its "neck" and "tail" into the main body. Another unique aspect of this ship is that it can be used as a submarine, with the main thruster able to function under water.


Overall, the Gazing Wyvern has come to be known as the better known symbol of the Dreamstalkers, even more so than their sigil. As such, when people enroll themselves into explorer guilds, people tend to say that they have gone on a journey to "chase the wyvern", aiming to top the discoveries of the Dreamstalkers.
