Isis Interstellar are proud to announce the launch of their newest spacecraft, the Vampire Mk III Dominatrix.

Continuing the pedigree of the highly-respected Vampire family, the new ship stands at the cutting edge of current technology and was born from a request from the Navy to design a new tactical space superiority fighter in the face of increasing Thargoid threats. The Vampire MkII has been a member of Navy squadrons since their launch, and have proved their mettle is several notable battles, but recent unsettling advances in Thargoid technology have left the Navy forces on the defensive and it was decided that a superior fighter was needed to level the playing field. In addition to space combat capability, the Navy required a ship with atmospheric abilities in order to execute operations in and around bases and settlements throughout the galaxies. The result was the Reaper variant of the Vampire Mk III.

The MkIII represents Isis Interstellar's first foray into multi-cannon ships, and the Reaper is the no-nonsense killing machine of the family. A functional design of little more than armour and guns, the Reaper is fast and deadly. A standard military laser in the nose of the craft is now supplemented by additional military lasers housed under each wing. Inside the heavily armoured skin, the interior houses a massive power plant with a 7.5 Recharge Rating to power the guns and shields, providing more than adequate protection and killing power. In addition, the Navy has fitted their Reapers with Scanner Jammers, making them invisible to most detection systems. Following recent successful trials, the reapers are also currently being upgraded to include cloaking devices, making them truly a ship to be feared. The MkIII Reaper has seen extensive action on the front lines and the Navy has reported great success against the Thargoid forces, however further details of the engagements are classified. In addition to the Reaper, Isis Interstellar put into production several non-military variants of the Vampire Mk III. The flagship of the group is the Purgatori variant.

Used exclusively by Isis Interstellar ourselves, the Purgatori is a formidable ship in her own right. Boasting a main beam laser and two under-wing military lasers, the Purgatori is capable of carrying six missiles, has a top speed of 0.4LM and a 7.0 Recharge Rating. As w/ all Vampire MkIIIs, the exterior of the ship say a complete overhaul from the ceramic tiling of the MkI and MkII. In out second partnership with Griff Industries, armour and coach-working was completely overhauled, providing a slicker, more aesthetic hull armour which is both more durable and easier to maintain and replace. As part of our partnership agreement, a number of Dominatrixes were provided for the personal use of the Griff Industries company, enabling to begin plans to expand their endeavours into some of the more lawless parts of the galaxies.

Civilian variants of both the standard Dominatrix and the Purgatori variant have been made available to the public. Due to the recently passed GalCop legislation limiting the sale of multi-laser ships to the general public, these variants do not feature the additional under-wing weaponry, however companies and corporations may apply for a licence to obtain the multi-gun ships. The standard civilian Dominatrix is an outstanding trading vessel. Fast and agile, the pilot can be confident of trading in even the most anarchic of systems. Since the omission of the extra weaponry removed the need for larger power plants, the ship features a smaller but potent R-Kane generator, and the resulting space in the redesigned interior has given the trader the ability to carry 20 tons of cargo plus six missiles. Powered by the new Toyota EFF engines, identifiable by their distinctively long exhaust plume, the ship is capable of reaching 0.38LM. The new design handles even better in atmosphere than the MkII Vampire, with the new turbofan intakes cutting both fuel consumption and noise, and virtually eliminating the risk of engine overheat when not in vacuum.

For the discerning pilot, the civilian Purgatori variant is an obvious choice. Tweaked to primarily fill the market niche left by the withdrawal of the popular Fer de Lance, the Purgatori makes an outstanding bounty hunting vehicle. A 6.0 Recharging Rate, a power rating of 500, top speed of 0.4LM, and better agility than the standard Dominatrix, yet capable of carrying the same weapons load-out, the Purgatori is perfectly suited to the more aggressive pilots. Extra power and engine fittings have reduced the interior cargo space to a 15 ton capacity but the enhanced capabilities of the craft more than make up for this.

In our continued partnership with GalCop, numbers of a modified Dominatrix have been supplied to police forces. We strongly recommend not firing upon these vessels.
