Q-Ship

A Q-Ship was a military-grade ship meant to pose as a cargo vessel in order to lure pirates into its firing range.

History
The Gozanti Cruiser, the Krayt's Honor, was a Q-Ship and served to protect legitimate merchant vessels from attack. Many GR-75 medium transports were also converted to Q-Ship status, being armed with military-grade weaponry.

Behind the Scenes
The Q-Ship classification comes from real-life armed merchant vessels used during World War I and World War II.
