Blood Scream

Blood Scream was a modified prototype D5-Mantis patrol craft used by Rylon Kohr during the Cold War. Manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards, Blood Scream was fitted to suit Rylon's preferences; he would pilot the ship for many years before it's destruction.

HISTORY

While working for Nemro the Hutt as a bounty hunter, the D5-Mantis patrol craft came to the Hutt's Posession through the black market. Needing a ship of his own, the young Rylon purchased the D5-Mantis (at no cheap price). Later naming it "Blood Scream", Rylon would pilot the ship for many years before replacing it.

CHARACTERISTICS

Blood Scream was a well-armed starship, and to keep it from becoming obsolete Rylon would constantly modify it. Rylon stocked it with two twin heavy blaster cannons in the sides, as well as three rapid firing laser cannons. The ship also supported two projectile launchers holding three homing missiles each.

Blood Scream also possessed proton torpedoes mounted with homing beacons allowing Kohr to use his HoloNet transciever to track ships through space. A third of the ship's interior was loaded with kuat drive engines and power generators, giving Blood Scream tremendous speed for it's size and bulk.

LATER YEARS

Several years after becoming Mand'alor, Rylon would take the ship to Kuat shipping yards and modify it heavily. He replaced the two twin blaster cannons with ion cannons, and added a sensor masking and jamming array, making the ship invisible to enemy sensors. He also replaced the projector launchers to proton torpedoes.

Blood Scream would meet it's end several years after. During a battle over Nar Shaddaa, Rylon's ship would be torn apart by two Republic Cruisers. Kohr would be forced to eject. He would later replace the ship with a newer D5-Mantis model, favoring the type of ship for it's combat abilities as well as it's speed (after modifications.)
