The Wraith is the S.I.D.’s premiere battle cruiser and mobile command center. Unlike many of their ships which are either custom built or acquired through discreet third party contracts, the Wraith was acquisitioned when S.I.D. agents led by Colonel Kamirzakoff staged a “hostile takeover” of business mogul Humphrey Hawksley’s intergalactic shipping enterprise. In actuality Hawksley had been smuggling everything from stolen ancient artifacts to illegally manufactured weapons to decadent, not to mention very wealthy clients for years. Once the S.I.D. nabbed him, the Colonel gave Hawksley a simple choice to make. Either spend the rest of his life in a 6x8 foot cell or continue on with his nefariously lucrative ventures as part of the new financial division of the S.I.D. He grudgingly chose the latter knowing his former life was over. As part of this new deal, Hawksley’s newest luxury cruiser the White Swan was retrofitted by Dr. Whackemoff with a lethal arsenal of weapons, upgraded engines, energy shields, stealth device, and one killer paint job! Most of the former cargo space had to be sacrificed but Dr. W. was able to save the lounge with the karaoke bar not to mention the crew’s quarters are far more luxurious than those of any other typical warship.
