Blacklight Stealth

The Blacklight Stealth is Han Xiao's exceptionally fast, high-grade spacecraft and one of the Black Star organization's most important personal transport and reconnaissance assets.

History

Acquisition and adoption

Han Xiao recognizes the vessel immediately when its hatch opens to his group, identifying it as a rare and expensive model with exceptional construction quality. After it comes under his control, he uses its speed to return to active battlefields, transport companions and machinery, and move between Planet Aquamarine and the wider galaxy. Its onboard maintenance space also supports the recovery and assessment of deployed machines. (Chapters 491–582)

Flagship of Black Star's operations

The ship's microsecond hyperdrive is Federation of Light technology beyond Han Xiao's ability to reproduce at the time, making the original vessel especially valuable. Risda provides intelligence and operates through the ship during its active service, while Han Xiao protects it from threats capable of tearing apart ordinary spacecraft. Blacklight Stealth continues carrying Han Xiao and his officers through later missions before returning to army headquarters. (Chapters 603–817)
