The Stryxis caravan vessel is not so much a specifi c type of ship as it is a general class named by human xenographers. The Stryxis “vessel” often consists of several scavenged ship hulls from any number of races, towed in a line by a vessel augmented with additional engines. Sometimes the Stryxis will even sell individual hulls off their “caravan.” However, beneath its benign exterior, the ships can often hold hidden dangers.
