So this came about as a spur of the moment idea from a facebook post with a member there, when someone posted a picture of what originally was thought to be a starbase or saucer but was revealed to be a modified fenlon. I kept typing my post as I wrote Fenlon as FELON and realized it would be a fun idea to write up as a one off fenlon captured by an orion pirate group and rebuilt as a raider. So here we go! I present the FELON class V raider!
In 2272 the Mk-II Fenlon class monitor USS Bander Belt was on sublight patrol with six system cutters along a frontier colony known as Marks Colony. The Federation border world lay near regions and trade routes often prowled by Orion pirate raiders and slavers. In February of 2272 it was such that the system was attacked by several such groups, and while a call was sent to Starfleet to send further heavier support ships for anti-piracy patrols, several fast raids meant that the Bander Belt and its cutters began ever more heavily damaged and worn out over the course of the three day raids. Unable to keep up with repairs the cutters were soon destroyed or disabled, and worse the Bander Belt captured and brought under tow by an enterprising Orion female pirate captain named Vok La Shy. Though this was not her real name it was the only name the crew and those nearest to her sway referred to her by.
The unusually wealthy and strong Orion woman was an oddity in that she not only was much larger and muscular then usual females but also had thrown off any shackles of control by any major parties, male or female. Rumors abounded that her mighty height and muscular and keen mind was the result of some mixing of Vulcan and Gorn and Orion parentages over the years, while others whispered of genetic lab experiments that she had escaped in her youth from. Either story teller though that got such word back to Vok La Shy soon were found dead from a noose signed in the victim's blood by Vok La Shy.
Regardless of the truth of her origins the highly successful pirate and slaver raider, soon used a wealth of contacts and purchases within Gorn, Orion, Ferengi, Klingon, and Romulan sources to take in parts, labor, and equipment to refit the Federation monitor to a heavy armed raider 'ball of death' as some engineers called it. The refitting process took a better part of eight months, but by November of that year the now renamed Felon class raider as it was dubbed by civilian and merchant concerns when sighted and officially named simply Sharp Tooth Revenge began raiding along fringe border colonies all over known space among the major powers. It was only in 2281 that finally the Sharp Tooth Revenge was tracked down to a supply yard within Orion slave controlled space that a fast attack by Federation destroyer groups destroyed it and many other pirate ships at the time and freed many illegally captured slaves. The fate of Vok La Shy after her ship's destruction remains unknown.
