Crafted by the Samura corporation for the exclusive use and pleasure of the Hogosha, as testament to their ongoing service to the state and its people, the Black Dragon serves as a fitting crown for any member of the organization looking to present his affiliation with style and deadly battlefield prowess.

The Hogosha, in turn, have provided many of these vessels to aid the efforts of the Farmers Alliance in combating their mutual foes. More than one Naval Forces pilot has breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of a flight of Black Dragons moving to engage a throng of native terrorists; while more than one foreign trader has felt a tremor of dread when intercepted by these vessels in deep space, far from the eyes of the law.

Outdated Review (4.85)

Review (4.85) This gem of a ship is the brainchild of Samura and godsend to the Farmers Alliance and Hogosha. First things to note, it looks awesome. Admit it, the dark shade of purple and the overall design of the ship is superb, even by Kusarian standards. Enough about looks, lets talk statistics. Notably, it has a lower powercore, lower hull, lower everything. In fact, its stats fall more into the Heavy Fighter range. Also note it only has two Class 10 slots, instead of the usual 4 for Very Heavy Fighters. Seems pretty lousy for a Very Heavy Fighter no? However, the reason I love it so much is not because of its armaments, but its agility. This fighter has the turning speed that is similar to that of the Heavy Fighter range. The supreme agility is the hallmark of this wonderful ship. In this ship, you'll turn circles around your opponents, gracefully ripping their hulls apart. My suggested loadout is to take advantage of the two Class 10 slots and apply Codename weaponry. Two slots should be reserved for shield busters as, due to this ship's powercore, wasting energy is not an option. The remaining two is up to you, although I recommend Drake Type Ds since they sync with most Codename weaponry (600m/s) and are freely available to both the Farmers Alliance and the Hogosha.
