The Alpinicus is one of Riscah Tyour's secondary ships. Far less flashy than the Militant, the Alpinicus is a Shadroc-7 that has clearly seen better days. Its hull has a number of carbon burns, and one area is clearly a not particularly well fitted replacement. Still, despite it's less than perfect appearance and condition, the Alpinicus is not quite the flying disaster that it appears to be.

Equipped with a state of the art high performance hyperdrive, the Alpinicus can get from one end of the galaxy to the other far faster than one would expect it to, an distinctly useful trait in Riscah's line of work. In addition, while gunners are required for the quad lasers, the primary weapons can be fired from the cockpit, making it possible for Riscah to get spaceborne and out without needing a crew. Finally, while some of the luxuries of the stock Shadroc are retained, some of the storage areas (such as those required for the now defunct whirlpool) have been converted into concealed scanner proof areas, and the ball room/dining hall, still wood paneled, has been converted into a single ship fighter bay. Usually housing Riscah's modified Y-Wing, the Sylvester, the bay can house virtually any small starfighter, and the Alpinicus has a fair amount of fuel and other supplies stored.
