Description: The Order of the Techno-Mages is a powerful, mysterious and almost mythical entity and their personal spacecraft even more so. Black, sleek and seamless they soar through the stars with neither heed nor care of the world around them. It is said that they can appear as they wish, creating images of comets and asteroids around themselves to cloak their.

If it is unwise to anger a Techno-Mage, it is suicidal to confront one in his ship. Capable of amazing feats of super-science and ‘magic’ from within their intelligent craft, the technologies that put a Pinnace together are beyond normal understanding and rarely can be handled by any of the younger races. Between armor ‘enchanted’ to avoid damage and a weapon that knows exactly what sort of energy to muster and fire at just the right moment – it is impossible to tell if the Pinnace is even able to be defeated by normal means.
