The “Meteor”

This starship was stolen from Timofey Valentinovich by The Four on March 1, 3200. A heavily-modified Nakajima Howler platform, she is capable of evading detection at a distance, and hiding in plain sight within either scanner or visual range. The chameleon unit must look like something of similar size (another ship, a small asteroid, a two-story building) as it can only simulate reflected light, not allow light to pass through. The cameleon unit is recognizable as a hologram within 50 meters or so.
