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.
