Freeship Blackbox

The Freeship Blackbox is the name of the Martian Frigate that our PC heroes escaped in during their detainment on The MCRN Donnager. The ship is one of the most advanced Martian Frigates, typically intended to be used by the MCRN, crewed by 16 with enough supplies to hold an additional half dozen Martian Marines. However, due to the efficient nature of the ship, she can be effectively crewed by as little as 4.
Armed with top-of-the-line Torpedo cannons and a brand new PDC system, the Freeship Blackbox is a formidable ship
