Legend

this was the name of the flagship Dreadnaught in the Katana Fleet. The Katana was one of 200 such Dreadnaughts, which were called "The Dark Force" due to their dark coloration and lack of interior lighting. The entire Katana Fleet was lost on their maiden voyage when a hive virus invaded the crew. The dying crew tried to slave all the ships together, but the command crew was by this time also insane, and they blind-jumped into hyperspace and disappeared. Decades later, the rumors of the Dark Force were proven factual, when the location of the ships was discovered by Talon Kaarde. Like the rest of the Dark Force, the Katana was in good working condition when it was recovered. However, as soon as its weapons were fired, the Katana's systems fried themselves, rendering weapons control useless.
