The Cadmus is a powerful custom-built mobile suit used by the leader of the Silver Thorn pirate group, as well as by a handful of other raiders and rogues. Officially, it is classified as a Vulture; a unit hand-built by unauthorized sources and used in criminal activities. The design originated from a "salvage" dealer on Illyria Beta, who sells the template notes out to just about anyone who can meet his price. It is hodge-podge of old and new technology, with the body of a reconditioned Aeshma Wing, the head of an Elint Aeshma II, and a pair of booster pylons usually mounted on small shuttles and starfighters. Despite its bulk, it is extremely fast, but not very agile. The suit can outrun a lot of things, but it has a hard time moving in-close.
Though it looks like a monster, the Cadmus' prime strength is its speed. Stiil, its arsenal consists of a pair of light shoulder weapons, heat knives, and a supporting beam rifle, all of which can be formidable. Missiles have also been hidden inside the two boosters, allowing the suit to shower foes with up to thirty simultaneous light warheads.
