Death Cruiser

These spectral vehicles materialize without warning to snatch up the souls of mortal victims. Though each death cruiser has a unique appearance, and each one manifests in a different way, their behavior is predictable: they chase their prey with frightening efficiency, collect the soul of their target, and carry it off. Sometimes, however, a death cruiser can be driven off or challenged to a race; if beaten in a race, the cruiser abandons the pursuit of its target, at least for a time.
Tales of chilling encounters with death cruisers have made their way through the Vast, and ancient records describe similar phantasms that take the form of archaic modes of transportation.
