Behemoth

Behemoth is one of the 4 original ships of the Morshadd Commune. Behemoth, or, as it was known during construction, Faithful Servant, was commissioned for construction by a Gorn noble, Baron Horssud of Bygoth, as a superfreighter. Instead, it was extensively modified during construction by shipwright and foreman Elkus Begyn, turning the vessel into a decent warship. Begyn repeatedly convinced Baron Horssud to accept modifications to the basic design, passed off as artistic flourishes and quality-of-life accommodations. Instead, these modifications added reinforced shield grids, torpedo launchers, EPS taps for combat systems, and antimatter reserves. Behemoth was floated out and seized during the initial phase of the Summer Rising.
