Spider's Ketch is a Fallen Ketch belonging to the Spider and his crime syndicate. After it was taken back from the House of Salvation by his associates, with the help of the Guardian, the Baron lent it to them and the Drifter to use in their campaign against Eramis's newly-formed crew of pirates.[1]

It serves as part of Ketchcrash activity in Season of Plunder,[2] in which players must defend it from enemy Ketches that are attempting to board the vessel.[3]

Overview[edit]

Although Spider's Ketch possesses most of the features of a regular Fallen vessel—such as the long and pointed nose, the large engine on its left side and the wing on the right—it has been heavily modified from its original design. The ship is covered in red, yellow, orange and dark-brown patterns, and has been outfitted with numerous sails with the Spider's crest on the top and bottom. The Ketch lacks a traditional command bridge. Instead, it has a large, open deck on the top of its hull. This deck possesses several different weapons for dealing with enemy vessels, such as regular cannons on the sides, five gravity-based Cannon Accelerators that used to launch projectiles, or even people; and also Security Turrets for dealing with hostile boarding parties.

Trivia[edit]

  • The design of the Spider's Ketch is heavily inspired by the appearance of stereotypical pirate ship.
  • The leopard-print like paint job of the Ketch is a reference to the Pirate Spaceship concepts from Alejandro Jodorowsky's Dune pitch.
