“So this is what happens when a bunch of maniacs retrofit a smuggling ship…..”

The X-5 Befana, nicknamed “The night runner” before the syndicate reunification.
The Befana is based on an older ship used by a neutral gang named the Twilight Runners, who offered smuggling/moving services to anyone who would pay the amount asked by the runners.

They usually operated in complete darkness, with little to no communication, they were somehow always on time, which still remains a secret between their crew.
These services were then acquired by the Helocroix Mafia, making the Runners work exclusively for them.

During the Rebellions, these carried important supplies to cities occupied by the Helocroix. Food, Water and Fuel. The ships were soon named the Befana, an alternative to Santa Claus in Italian folklore.
These ships were then retrofitted with a landing pad that could accommodate small Helicopters and Aircraft, most of these serviced the X-4 Wolf Hounds. They also added more space on the back for a more sturdy engine and they also added missile Silos. The Befana became the Backbone of the Helocroix Military might, being able to transport supplies and defend them, they sailed in groups, but they were versatile enough to sail alone, even behind enemy lines.

the ship was lower to the sea than most, Storms did not hinder the operation of these beasts however, as the crew were so experienced. Not a single Befana has sunk under the operation of the Twilight Runners, the only Befanas that have sunk are ones that were not sailed by the Twilight runners.

The Befana kept both the Skies and Sea clear of any enemies. And they still do to this day.
