Description: The Stormfalcon is the heaviest ship in the Drazi fleet, armed with the most powerful assault technologies they could manage to get onto a hull of its size. More than capable of shredding any vessel its size or smaller into scrap, it has thick armored plating, powerful weapons and fighter compliment to augment its capabilities in nearly any situation. Able to withstand a significant amount of punishment, the Stormfalcon has become one of the most common flagships in any fleet mission. Multitalented and ready for nearly any foe, the Drazi have a real gem in the Stormfalcon. It would seem that it would be impossible to make better.

The Drazi can try, however. By stripping a few guns and adding larger hangar systems, the Nightfalcon was created as a deadly example of evolving technology in the Freehold. This vessel carries a larger compliment of darting Star Snakes and a trio of the massive Sky Serpent superheavy fighters on launch catapults where external weapons were once mounted. Since its inception and deployment in several patrolling fleets, the Nightfalcon has become a commanding asset almost immediately. Using the power of the Stormfalcon and the augmented communications network needed to keep its fighters in line, it can track the motions of an entire battle single-handedly.
