Description
Made for speed, maneuverability and a swift punch, the build of what was originally a Shadow class escort frigate is sleek and reminiscent of the same powerful contours and nature of the predator it was named for after the war, when it was reclassified as a Shark Corvette. Standing at fifty five
feet high, three hundred feet long, and one hundred and ninety feet wide its profile makes for an imposing presence docked in port, however it cuts through the Black with the power and stealth for which its namesake is renowned. Housings for six medium cannons, and two missile racks divided
evenly between the side fins can be seen, although they have been plated over since the ship was originally decommissioned.
History
Originally purchased by John Ryan (NPC, deceased) shortly after the end of the war to help grow his bulk freight business. When he was diagnosed with and ultimately passed away from terminal cancer ownership of the Tienlong (the entirety of the business at that point) passed to his eldest son, Ryan. JP and his younger brother Brian have renovated and rebuilt the ship within the last year and brought her to Persephone to resupply and crew her for the venture.
A tragedy struck when the mother of JP and Brian fell sick. JP returned to the family's home in order to take care of their mother, leaving Brian in charge of the ship. After sometime, the ship's reigns next were turned onto Anastasiya before being purchased from the Alliance by a private concern.
