History-

A larger, more advanced (1X) Vektrean Design, often quite the lone combatant, with a rare (for Vektrean) Dual-Nacelle arrangement, the Desert Duke was named for a legendary Warrior from the plains of Bolaar, and became one of the most powerful vessels ever to operate as a Mercenary, especially one that helped numerous, often poor and/or primitive Nations.
