There are many tales of famous ships that roam across Sirius, with no less known pilots. There are small agile ships with sneaky smugglers that run away from the authorities. There are big warships full of bold crew that does not give any quarter. There are unaffiliated tradeships that pass here and by making a living. There are mercenary gunboats, infamous for their ruthless greedy captains.
And then – there is Smirkwolf.
No one really knows who and why anyone would give such a ridiculous name to a ship. It's hull bought from one of Junker's scrapyards, the vessel still bears a heavy stigma of the centuries-long war between Corsairs and Outcasts. Its initially Corsair design is now tainted by pieces of recycled and mostly unlicensed technology that filled the holes and gaps of the empty shell it used to be. To the point that Smirkwolf would make any serious shipyard worker just quit his job.
This ship of exotic design now seek its fortune amongst the stars...
It doesn't really look like that GMG is truly aware on what's happening around Sigmas. I mean, it looks like no one is really aware on how deep and vast is the Crow Nebula. Some would say that the most dangerous place in whole Sirius are Omicrons, but emptiness of the latter is more for people who are afraid of vast spaces. As for Crow Nebula... I can't really say. I think, with all honesty, what the Nebula with a lot of its outcroppings is even more scarier. A perfect for staging attacks oit of blue.
True, Omicrons do have their own clouds as well, but Crow is simply one big vast and undeniably the trickiest place to fly around. Save for that one place in Omicrons that even NavMap goes all nuts. But Crow Nebula in Sigma-13 is one of the more scary places, if anyone would ask me. No wonder the old Rheinland Military had been massacred in there, as GMG flies through their clouds like they owned they place. Oh wait, the do own the place. Nonetheless, I think that Smirkwolf would require some adjustments to fly through any Sigma system that is shrouded from the eyes of the public. Although, I do wonder how these GMG find their way out.
To think about it, they simply know the place as they own the place. Or maybe it's the place that does own them? Truthfully, they are more or less tied to their business that gave them a place in Sirian politics and economy. I envy them to some point. They, literally, sit on tight moneybags that won't end anytime soon.
