A brief history of The Surly Mermaid

The Surly Mermaid started off as just another of millians of Vree transports, bearing only a simple number as its name. That all changed when a young theif and pirate named Francis Drake III transported onto it as his own pirate vessel fell under the guns of a Vree convoy escort.

With a few flicks of Drake's vibro-cutlass, the crew was dead and the ship his. Drake faked an engine failure and fell behind in the convoy. When the escort ship dropped back to help they lowered their defensive screens to transport an engineering crew aboard, but before they could, Drake transported their transporter into their engine core, setting off an anti-matter explosion that crippled the ship. With the escort out of the way, Drake polished off the defensles convoy and headed out to a local Tenloss syndicate outpost and traded the cargo and crews for modifications to his shiny new vessel.
