She was constructed from cedar in T'Nanshi, but in a style more frequently associated with Dubunat's shipbuilders. Launched and operated as an armed tender and dispatch ship for as much as a year, the ''Hawk'' was then boarded and taken by a party of renegade Drotid slavers. The slavers refitted her with a Gaff Rig, and operated her successfully out of a camp hidden in Northeastern M'Chek for several years before she was captured by Shelly Maroon. Shelly restored her to her original rig and condition, strengthened the deck and structure, and installed 8 18-pounder carronades along with 2 9-pounder long cannon mounted as chasers.

During a raid on one of Drotid privateering harbours, on an island Shelly refers to as '[[The Maw]]', the ''Dark Hawk's'' hull was badly damaged.

The island is formed by the caldera of a long dead volcano, with sheer cliff faces on all sides preventing ships from landing at any point on the island. The only access to the Maw's interior and its deep, hidden lagoon is via a submerged tunnel. Originally inhabited by Sahuagin, the Maw was converted by the Drotid Navy into a privateering harbour during the war with M'Chek. This harbour was later [http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?f=86&amp;t=116460 discovered and destroyed by the M'Chekan privateer vessel Dark Hawk], under the command of [[PCs:Shelly Maroon|Shelly Maroon]].<br /> <br /> [[Category:Islands]]</div>

Although Shelly has boasted that his ship is the fastest south of Andarr, this is probably not the case. She is a handy vessel at all points of sailing, however, and her shallow draught and ability to sail close to the wind make her an excellent all-around performer. The ''Dark Hawk'' was originally built in the later years of the T'Nanshi-M'Chek War. She was constructed from cedar in T'Nanshi, but in a style more frequently associated with Dubunat's shipbuilders. Launched and operated as an armed tender and dispatch ship for as much as a year, the ''Hawk'' was then boarded and taken by a party of renegade Drotid slavers. The slavers refitted her with a Gaff Rig, and operated her successfully out of a camp hidden in Northeastern M'Chek for several years before she was captured by Shelly Maroon. Shelly restored her to her original rig and condition, strengthened the deck and structure, and installed 8 18-pounder carronades along with 2 9-pounder long cannon mounted as chasers. Allthough they have limited range and accuracy, the carronades gave the ''Dark Hawk'' a 72-pound broadside - a significantly greater weight of shot than most ships in her class. During a raid on one of Drotid privateering harbours, on an island Shelly refers to as 'The Maw', the ''Dark Hawk's'' hull was badly damaged. She escaped to Eastshore where repairs were made, but lasting damage to her deck and structure mean that it is likely she has seen her final combat action.<br /> <br /> == Naval Victories of the Dark Hawk: ==<br /> * Brigantine ''Unknown'' - Sunk South of M'Chek, Winter 2224<br /> * Schooner ''Black Asp'' - Sunk off Toran Shaarda, Winter 2225<br /> * Xebec ''Spitfire'' - Sunk off Western M'Chek, 17 July 2225<br /> * Xebec ''Deer'' - Captured and scuttled off Western M'Chek, 17 July 2225<br /> * Gun-Brig ''Spritely'' (fmr M'Chekan Navy) - Recaptured off Southeastern M'Check and returned to Mikona as a prize, 15 August 2225<br /> * Successful raid on the Drotid privateer harbour at The Maw, 2 September 2225<br /> * Corvette - Captured at The Maw, named ''Caldera''<br /> * Cutter ''Dasher'' - Captured at The Maw<br /> * Cutter ''Dancer'' - Captured at The Maw<br /> <br /> = Caldera =<br /> In the same action at The Maw, Shelly's crew captured a brand new Corvette, as yet unnamed. Shelly took her as a replacement for the Dark Hawk, giving her the moniker ''Caldera''. ''Caldera'' is an exceptionally well-built vessel, likely constructed in Andarr, but nothing is known of her history before being discovered in the hands of the privateers. She is ship-rigged on three masts with a dispacement of some 511 tons, and is constructed of seasoned Galdosian Oak, with Brekonese Mokharan Teak scantlings. Rather than a traditional copper bottom, ''Caldera'' is sheathed with mithril; a fabulously expensive alternative seen on very few vessels. She carries 18 32-pounder carronades on a single flush deck, giving her an impressive 288-pound broadside, four times that of the Dark Hawk. She is also equipped with chasers; two 12-pounder long cannons.<br /> <br /> [[Category:PCs|Shelly Maroon]]<br /> [[Category:MChekPCs|Shelly Maroon]]</div>

The slavers refitted her with a Gaff Rig, and operated her successfully out of a camp hidden in Northeastern M'Chek for several years before she was captured by Shelly Maroon. Shelly restored her to her original rig and condition, strengthened the deck and structure, and installed 8 18-pounder carronades along with 2 9-pounder long cannon mounted as chasers.
