One of the prettiest and fastest ships ever built, the
Nightowl corvette was the ship that the original Shaman Starship Co. was best known for. Used to great effect in the First Sathar War, this corvette was used as a scoutship, and its weapons system made it a formidable foe to any small ships that crossed its path. Even though it didn't carry much more firepower than today's assault scouts, its superior speed made it one of the best scout ships ever. Nearly 2/3 of these ships were never designed for use in atmospheres, but almost 15,000 of these ships were built with airfoils, which allow them to access a planet's atmosphere. Unfortunately, these ships are very hard to find, with only about 50 known to exist, and less than 15 of them are in flying condition. Alone, though, these ships are worth millions apiece, and in fully serviceable condition with a low serial number they could be worth upwards of 75 million today...
