Heron in Chirichan colors, Tri-System circa 2790.

The Heron is the Chirichan pirate clan’s primary medium fighter. Statistically they are a stand up fighter which can hold their own against the average civilian counterpart. Visually, they are far more striking – their unusual hull is a strange reverse of the even stranger Veldor-class ship.

Origin's Official Guide to Privateer 2: The Darkening

The Chirichan Heron is like the Jincilla Veldor — it is well-armed and a little on the slow side, but easy to kill if you can avoid its guns. You should make it a priority, though, because you could really take a pounding from one if you leave it alone long enough to concentrate on something else.
