Overview

From EliteA.

Ship built in 3077 by Aligatormen, an alien race from outside of GalCop. The Aligator race is slightly backward technologically, but they are fierce and numerous. They are no match for the Navy, but as the Thargoid Threat keeps our boys and gals occupied in deep space, the Gators have grown bolder of late and have been making savage raids into GalCop territory and preying on commercial shipping.

Oldships 2010 Version

After the Gators where defeated lots of their ships where considered suitable for conversion. The Ghavial is still a good ship with a reasonable cargo space abeit slow. It has a 'Crocodile teeth livery' as a decoration on the hull.

Drawbacks

As this is a non-GalCop ship, it does not have standard fittings for GalCop hightech goodies. Nor is it commonly available, Spacedredgers and Deepspace Hermits specialising in ship salvage are your best bet if you collect alien artefacts. 'Wild' Ghavials have only basic weaponry and no shields to speak of, but the more basic GalCop-made equiment can be fitted by a specialised mechanic.

The 'converted' Ghavials are adapted to make use of standard weapon slots

Warning

It is illegal to supply the Gators with classified technology, this includes ECM and shield technologies as well as witchspace locators.
