Overview
After an exhaustive search, an agent for SoloTek Industries found the heir of the original designer and builder of the Cougar, a person who strongly guards their anonymity. After lengthy negotiations, a price was finally agreed upon to deliver the original plans for renewed construction. The marketing plan was geared toward the military rather than civilian sector. Unbeknown to any at SI, someone had beaten them at their own game, but not, apparently, for profit. In scattered sectors, rumors cropped up of rare encounters with a craft similar to the Cougar but vastly superior. Little else is known except that sightings have verified the shadowy Cougar is armed with multiple forward lasers and that it haunts the more dangerous systems. Reports from criminal elements simply refer to it as the, "HK from hell".
The Cougar ST (ST = Speedy Terminator) for Oolite is named for the legendary and rare stealth ship that appeared in some versions of 8-bit Elite. Unlike that ship, the Cougar ST is not stealthy, but it is quite agile and very fast. The Cougar NPC custom role is geared for combat, and they who command her are pirate hunters. They enjoy taunting their prey before eliminating them, and if that prey happens to be the player, they may find the experience rather unpleasant. Otherwise, the player would be well advised not to attack the Cougar, either for fun or profit.
