Fireball

The Fireball is a medium-sized ship that relentlessly showers the enemy in shots from its many cannons, each of which inflicts Heat upon hitting. However, most fights against the Fireball take place in Asteroid Fields, providing ample cover.

It is piloted by Drake, and may both appear as an elite fight, or as an event, fighting if the player refuses to hand over a non-boss artifact.

If Drake is currently in the crew, fights against the Fireball may still happen: in this case, she is replaced by her answering machine/automated pirate, Drakebot.
