  info: "Following an announcement that CONCORD itself had donated ships as prizes\
    \ for the Independent Gaming Commission\u2019s Alliance Tournament XX in YC126,\
    \ a bid executed through a series of shell corporations saw principal sponsorship\
    \ for the milestone 20th anniversary event shift to the Guristas. Securing a massive\
    \ stream of profit and publicity for his organization through New Eden\u2019s\
    \ foremost capsuleer tournament, Korako \u2018The Rabbit' Kosakami added further\
    \ insult to injury by vandalizing the exterior of CONCORD\u2019s donations and\
    \ retooling them into extravagant prizes of his own design.\n\nTo keep his most\
    \ potent modifications out of lawful hands, the Rabbit enlisted the aid of turncoat\
    \ Caldari Navy Commander Esri Hakuzosu to crack and reverse the parameters of\
    \ the Pacifier\u2019s security status function-gating subsystem, mocking CONCORD\
    \ by turning their own notoriously stringent pilot verification protocols against\
    \ them. Joined with a host of other preposterously costly upgrades and alterations,\
    \ the Sidewinder presents a vicious pinnacle of Guristas starship engineering."
