- Nuura Joss(src)
The General Lee.
The General Lee is the War Pigs' ship. It is a Wanderer-class vessel, capable of jumping into warp space.[1]
The General Lee was used for evacuations from combat zones such as Atticus Minor. It can jump into warp space.[2]
After the War Pigs reunited, it took part in a mission at Moria and suffered a coolant leak, making warp travel hazardous. Nuura Joss suggested taking the ship to the Apollo Shipyard at Grissom IV for repairs, but the team (except Romy Pyrius) were captured by the Screaming Skulls, a mercenary and smuggler band. The pirates boarded the vessel, but were killed by a stim-abusing Pyrius, who then turned the ship's weapons on the station. Technicians who had been captured by the pirates were put to work repairing the General Lee.[1]
After the War Pigs got their ship back, a "malign alien force from beyond the grave" appeared on the General Lee.[3]
Trivia
The ship may be named after the The General Lee, the signature automobile from the television series The Dukes of Hazzard, which was in turn named for Confederate general Robert E. Lee. It is known that some of the inspiration for the craft came from the Millenium Falcon of Star Wars.[4]
