History
The M42 "Imperator" class Gunboat was first produced in 817 A.S. after a lengthy development process undergone by engineers at Tripoli Shipyard who initially struggled to find a design that could outshine the historical and much loved M26. A 2 month trial of M41 Prototypes recieved mixed reception from commanders who felt that while the rig was strong and preformed to a satisfactory level, the design lacked the fearsome image of it's predecessor. Tripoli engineering upped the ante when producing the final design for what was to become the M42, reshaping the core design of the prototype into a fearsome behemoth that drew influence from creatures of ancient Earth mythology.
Since the M42 went into mass production throughout the Corsair empire, the ship has entirely replaced the M26 as the Corsairs' favored choice of siege vessel, and proven itself time and time again in both combat and marauding scenarios, striking fear into the hearts of both opponents and prey. Since 817, Corsair gunboat captains have noted a marked increase in the frequency of trader co-operation during piracy, attributed to the M42's fearsome visage.
