The Merciless was Tyber Zann's personal Aggressor-class destroyer, which served as his and the Zann Consortium's flagship.[2]

[edit] Characteristics
The vessel differed from later ships of the same class in looks and weaponry. It was painted black with white trims and had intimidating murals of a Krayt Dragon on the sides of its hull. Weapons-wise, it could charge its main weapons to fire the regular large ion shot, followed by an even more immense green plasma blast at any ship that dared oppose it. It also had a cloaking device to hide from enemy ships.[2]
[edit] History
The first of its class, it was stolen by Tyber Zann[1] after its plans were found in the wreckage of the first Death Star.[2] The vessel was then modified and given a customized paintjob. The Merciless was completed shortly before Admiral Thrawn betrayed Zann over Carida. It participated in the Second Battle of Kuat.[2]
[edit] Behind the scenes
There is a reference in the code of this ship being called "Peacebringer", which may have been the vessel's original name. Game data files still use "Peacebringer" for internal reference purposes.
