==Overview==
What the Boa II is to the trader, the Pitviper is to the bounty-hunter. This corvette-class ship is the result of a joint venture between the Riredian Government and the Coluber Works and Shipyards Ltd. The HQ of the company is located in the Riredi system in galaxy one, and so they have very good connections to the local government.

The Pitviper is a straightforward combat vessel, a bounty-hunters dream. (And thus a pirates nightmare, of course).

The ships hull can not deny to be a insectoid design and thus - to human eyes - the ship looks quite ugly. Many of the outer technical details can not deny to be a human design and thus - to insect eyes - the ship looks quite ugly. But hey! They have put a nice paintwork on it.

==Notable features==
In the Riredian culture and religion the numbers 3,6 and 9 are very meaningful and this circumstance had great influence on the design.(E.g. the vindicator can carry 27 = 3*9 missiles; 9 energy banks; 3 engines; etc.)

A special characteristic of the pitviper is its' forcefield-reinforced hull. This, together with the special design of the hull, enables the pilot to attack by ramming other ships. But be careful! If the speed is too high (or the opponents ship is really big), even a reinforced hull may break.

==Variations==
The military version Pitviper "Vindicator" is not available on the civilian market. This version has no cargo capacity, but can carry up to 27(!!) missiles. Its' main weapon is a reinforced military laser. This proprietary development of the Riredian navy has 30% more penetrating power than a common military laser and is also not available on the civilian market.

If you are lucky, you may get an offer to buy the "Beast", a special edition of the Pitviper. Coluber has gained a exceptional permission from the Riredian Government to equip a small amount of Pitvipers for the civilian market with the military engines and energy banks of the the "Vindicator" version. Of course, these vessels are rare and quite expensive.

==Overview==
What the Boa II is to the trader, the Pitviper is to the bounty-hunter. This corvette-class ship is the result of a joint venture between the Riredian Government and the Coluber Works and Shipyards Ltd. The HQ of the company is located in the Riredi system in galaxy one and so they have very good connections to the local government.

The Pitviper is a straightforward combat vessel, a bounty-hunters dream. (And thus a pirates nightmare of course).

The ships hull can not deny to be a insektoid design and thus - to human eyes - the ship looks quite ugly. Many of the outer technical details can not deny to be a human design and thus - to insect eyes - the ship looks quite ugly. But hey! They have put a nice paintwork on it.

==Notable features==
In the Riredian culture and religion the numbers 3,6 and 9 are very meaningful and this circumstance had great influence on the design.(E.g. the vindicator can carry 27 = 3*9 missiles; 9 energy banks; 3 engines; etc.)

A special characteristic of the pitviper is it´s forcefield-reinforced hull. This together with the special design of the hull enables the pilot to attack by ramming other ships. But be careful! If the speed is too high (or the opponents ship is really big), even a reinforced hull may break.

==Variations==
The military version Pitviper "Vindicator" is not available on the civilian market. This version has no cargo capacity, but can carry up to 27(!!) missiles. It´s main weapon is a reinforced military laser. This proprietary development of the riredian navy has 30% more penetrating power then a common military laser an is also not available on the civilian market.

If you are lucky, you may get an offer to buy the "Beast", a special edition of the Pitviper. Coluber has gained a exceptional permission from the Riredian Government to equip a small amount of pitvipers for the civilian market with the military engines and energy banks of the the "Vindicator" version. Of course these vessels are rare and quite expensive.

==Notable pilots==
===Diziet Sma===
Diziet Sma commands the Blackwidow, a Pitviper Beast.
[[Image:pitviper_blackwidow400x268.png|||right|Image showing the Pitviper Beast Blackwidow]]

===Maxwell D. Fishhead CXXV===
Maxwell D. Fishhead CXXV, a black furry feline from Diso, commands the Pitviper "Firewizard". Maxwall himself claims to be a tomcat of independent means who became rich at the 4D-roulette tables while others insist he became rich by smuggling firearms. Both could be true for he is an excellent spacepilot and an excellent gambler als well. Fact is, he won the Firewizard in an epic Lave-fold-em pokermatch. Though Maxwell may be a smuggler, apart from that he definitely is a tomcat of high ethics standards. On his travels he has rescued more than 50 souls found in distress at space and never accepted a reward for it.

==Overview==
+++ This page is currently under construction +++

What the Boa II is to the trader, the Pitviper is to the bounty-hunter. This corvette-class ship is the result of a joint venture between the Riredian Government and the Coluber Works and Shipyards Ltd. The HQ of the company is located in the Riredi system in galaxy one and so they have very good connections to the lokal government.

The Pitviper is a straightforward combat vessel, a bounty-hunters dream. (And thus a pirates nightmare of course).

The ships hull can not deny to be a insektoid design and thus - to human eyes - the ship looks quite ugly. Many of the outer technical details can not deny to be a human design and thus - to insect eyes - the ship looks quite ugly. But hey! They have put a nice paintwork on it

==Notable features==
In the Riredian culture and religion the numbers 3,6 and 9 are very meaningful and this circumstance had great influence on the design.(E.g. the vindicator can carry 27 = 3*9 missiles; 9 energy banks; 3 engines; etc.)

A special characteristic of the pitviper is it´s forcefield-reinforced hull. This together with the special design of the hull enables the pilot to attack by ramming other ships. But be careful! If the speed is too high (or the opponents ship is really big), even a reinforced hull may break.

==Variations==
The military version Pitviper "Vindicator" is not available on the civilian market. This version has no cargo capacity, but can carry up to 27(!!) missiles. It´s main weapon is a reinforced military laser. This proprietary development of the riredian navy has 30% more penetrating power then a common military laser an is also not available on the civilian market.

If you are lucky, you may get an offer to buy the "Beast", a special edition of the Pitviper. Coluber has gained a exceptional permission from the Riredian Government to equip a small amount of pitvipers for the civilian market with the military engines and energy banks of the the "Vindicator" version. Of course these vessels are rare and quite expensive.

*''This section's factual accuracy is disputed. Please help to ensure that disputed facts are reliably sourced.''

Captain Leo T. Eccles and flight engineer Atou Bedidiso formed one of the first crews on a Riredisec Blue Racer. This crew came to some fame because Eccles and Bedidiso survived a massive, coordinated attack of 15 pirate ships in the Gelaed system. After eliminating the three escort ships, seven remaining pirate ships moved forward to the Blue Racer flown by Eccles and Bedidiso for the final kill. But while the pirates were busy with the escorts, Bedidiso had managed to transfer the high-energy fuel from three missiles to the ship's fuel tanks. Then they put everything at stake and Eccles activated the fuel injectors. For a short period of time the high-energy fuel produced enough thrust to be faster than the fastest pirate ship, but also a rapidly growing risk of overheating and an engine explosion. But they were lucky and as their ship came out of masslock range with almost ruined engines, Eccles activated the jumpdrive and they escaped.

Finally they reached the station aegis and delivered the cargo - three tons of platinum - safe to its destination. After this incident Riredisec general management decided to equip every of their cargo ship with at least one q-bomb. Eccles and Bedidiso are still on duty for Riredisec Inc. And in the space bars there is still the tale of the two to be the first crew that ever flew a fire-ass ship. Well, I think Eccles and Bedidiso never were very happy about that tale and if you ever happen to encounter the two veterans in a space bar, it is a wise decision not to hint at it.
