     The Militant is Riscah Tyour's primary ship.  Equipped with
quite advanced systems, it requires a much larger crew than the
standard Shadroc-7 does.  The weapon systems of the Militant are
also a good deal more powerful than those of the standard
Shadroc, and the ship has been equipped with the experimental
Scepter missiles.
     While the lines of the ship are still very similar to those
of a standard Shadroc-7, the weapons mountings and the additional
streamlining make the militant clearly recognizable as a custom
job.  The black and gold paint job also does very little to
render the ship inconspicuous.  Riscah tends to travel with an
escort of 4 TIE advanced when flying the militant, and will have
either a pair of interceptors or his modified Y-Wing "Howler" in
the fighter bay.
     The most unusual feature of the Militant are the Scepter
missiles.  Modeled after the Yaeger Charge torpedoes, the
Scepters are surrounded by a plasma field after they are
launched.  They also incorporate the more efficient Imperial
Anion drive power system, giving them slightly greater range and
penetrating power.  These weapons are still experimental, and may
develop problems, though they have yet to do so.
