== Description ==
An ancient Sheragi warship that was crewed by mutineers that fled from their civil war and escaped into interstellar space. Found orbiting a disconnected star, this is an impressively large ship, fit for the equally large Sheragi. The ship's main weapon is a fusion-pumped gamma-ray laser called the 'Dragonflame Cannon.' Despite the relatively primitive outfits, it's still a very capable war machine due to its size.
For its original Sheragi masters, this warship was home to around 100 individuals. For others, however, that number more than doubles, bringing it on par with the largest city ships.

== Performance Information ==
The Emerald Sword is a powerhouse, but not an invincible one. Poor shields are combined with massive armor, leaving hull repair or a Korath Systems Core as desirable outfits if the player should attempt to customize the ship.
Similarly, the ship's own turret weapons are geared towards destroying armor. As a primary fighting vessel, the Emerald Sword is both excellent and flawed. It relies on its main cannon to pierce shields, making an escort equipped with shield damaging weapons a valuable contribution to the player's fleet as the cannon does have serious drawbacks: heat and energy. As the ship's main armament, the Dragonflame Cannon is massively powerful, but firing must be timed carefully to prevent overheating or draining the ship and leaving the player helpless. Not only that, the cannon does damage to the Emerald Sword itself if the weapon is fired at a close enough range. 
The player can try to rely on Black Diamonds for shield damage, but the fighters that are on this ship are not replaceable with Sheragi fighters if the ship's complement is lost in battle. Likewise, a player seeking to customize the mothership cannot purchase the outfits on the vessel from any outfitter. This makes the outfit storage option invaluable for players seeking to customize the Emerald Sword.
Lastly, and very importantly, the ship's sheer size makes it very difficult to dodge incoming fire or maneuver. The Emerald Sword boasts a surprisingly high top speed for a vessel of its size, but it has a fairly slow acceleration and low turning capabilities that make it difficult to dodge enemy fire or to bring the Dragonflame Cannon to bear on smaller targets. Regardless of these caveats, the Emerald Sword is easily one of the best ships available to the player, either in its standard form or with custom outfits.
== Notes ==
* Only one of these ships exist in the game.
* The only way to obtain this ship is by completing the Emerald Sword quest line, which involves the completion of other smaller quest lines. It is found at Zubenelhakrabi, which is not visible to the player until the quest line has been completed.
* The Emerald Sword has a massive amount of outfit space, but this is offset by its equally massive outfits.
