 == Overview: CPV-9333 ==
 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 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.

 But be careful! If the speed is too high (or the opponent's ship is ''really'' big), even a reinforced hull
 and a daisycutter may break!

 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.)

 The Pitviper comes with its own specially coluber-designed HUD. You will notice that following the Riredian prediliction for trinities, that the HUD is split into 3 sections from left to right. And that both left and right-hand sections are further split into 3 vertically. It is rumoured that Coluber's engineers spent many fruitless hours attempting to further subdivide the [[IFF Scanner]] to achieve a perfect trinity of trinities, but their efforts proved unavailing.

 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 '''Pitviper Beast''', a special edition of the Pitviper. Coluber has gained an 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.

 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.

 :Diziet Sma commands the Blackwidow, a Pitviper Beast.
 ===Maxwell D. Fishhead XXV (rank: deadly)===
-:Maxwell D. Fishhead XXV, 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, medicines and even dissidents for the rebels on Leleer during the last civil war on this planet. Both could be true for he is an excellent spacepilot and an excellent gambler as well. Fact is, he won the Firewizard in an epic Lave-fold-em pokermatch. Though Fishhead may be a smuggler, apart from that he definitely is a tomcat of high ethical standards. On his travels he has rescued more than 50 souls found in distress at space and never accepted a reward for it.
