Belligerent Duck

Belligerent Duck (or simply Duck) is a Crusader Industries Mercury operated by pilot Alexandria Dougan and hacker Mas Houlan, outlaws with outstanding warrants from the UEE Advocacy. The crew and his ship fled from Terra into Banu space (Bacchus) in 2948.
Dougan had renamed the ship, previously called Razor's Edge, to infuriate the info agent she had won the ship from. 
==Physical Description==
===Identification===
Easily identified by the unique white design painted on its hull and the stylized "eye" painted on it's main hatch. Favored by the duo for its potent combination of firepower, speed, and maneuverability, the "Duck" has become nearly synonymous with their exploits. The Mercury's proclivity to data running, its built-in onboard encryption protocol, and any number of home-brewed booby traps, make successful extraction and seizure difficult by design.
===Field Report===
A generous traditional cargo capacity plus data banks with on-board encryption protocol, and liberal use of maintenance access bays are Dugan and Houlan's bread and butter. A roomy, fully loaded and modular interior hull means Dougan and Houlan can hole up inside the Mercury for long hauls. The ship can land in even the most precarious zones. Dougan and Houlan are even suspected of smuggling contraband in and out of QuarterDeck.
Assessment - Engage ship at your own risk.
===Escape Route in 2948===
Terra - Stanton - Pyro - Cano - Davien - Ferron - Idris - Garron - Bacchus.
The ship was reported in Banshee, turned out it was a canard.
==Breaking News==
===2948-08-22===
The outlaws have garnered 46 warrants between them. They used their ship to escape from a private hangar in the Behring complex. A Behring Security Sabre pursued, hailing with the threat of shooting down the Duck. Dougan was able to distract the Sabre with missiles forcing them to fire flares, buying Houlan enough time to use distortion cannons to disrupt the Sabre's power supply. Maxing out the thrusters for all they were worth, Dougan sped the Duck away from Behring's headquarters. However, rather than angling up to leave the planet, she angled the ship towards the nearby mountainous island range. There, she lowered the ship down into a small alcove cut into the beach beneath a rocky outcropping. Diverting power from the Mercury's shields and thrusters, Houlan booted up their reg-spoof so that they would be able to fly around incognito. Having to scrap the planned rendezvous, they contacted allies via mobiGlas and prepared to go on the run from the Advocacy, heading for Banu space.
