The Modified Strike Cruiser took a pair of gravity well projectors from an IM-418 Interdictor Cruiser and grafted them onto a Loronar-class Strike Cruiser to create another interdictor-type cruiser. This craft was salvaged by Dark Star Industries and refitted for Black Sun usage. The Cruiser is now employed along hyperspace routes where Black Sun knows valuable cargo will be travelling. After the intercepted ship is pulled from hyperspace it is either disabbled by ion cannon fire or boarded by Black Sun operatives. Once the cargo is acquired it is sold on the black market.
Black Nebula is always escorted by 2 Marauder-Class Corvettes for support. The Maruaders have had several special modifications such as reinforced hulls, upgraded engines and hyper drives. Both have also had harpoon grapple launchers installed as well to insure any trapped ship doesn't get away easily.
As a precautionary option all three ships have Electronic Warfare systems with a communications scanner, full spectrum communications and sensor jammers, and a slightly improved sensor package. Crippling the opposing forces' ability to see the incoming or fleeing craft. Whichever the case may be.
