One of the new Overlord-Class Super Battleships is currently patrolling the edge of a popular trade route due to multiple, large-scale pirate attacks. As of this moment, it currently is alone, as its supporting force of a Sparrow Class Battleship, 5 Mortar-Class Cruisers, and 20 Destroyers was caught up in an FTL-jump malfunction (which may have been caused by the Overlord-Class, the number of ships and the lack of an FTL gate to help with the strain), aswell as being too far away from the main force in Redford to request reinforcements. Due to the ship being essentially brand new, the crew are having a hard time getting any kind of visual on their location with both sensory equipment and radar. This reason alone was for the number of destroyers, as their sensory equipment allowed the Super Battleship to work out any issues with the armament.
This event is a Heist-based one (like the title says). Like the little story says above, this ship is alone, and effectively blind due to the ship both being new and relatively untested in combat, along with the size. If a force can get into the ship and hijack it, they may be able to count it as one of their own (they would have to effectively scrub the ship of anything the Redford Republic could track). The supporting force is slowly getting the malfunction fixed, but there is no way to respond with the Overlord-Class due to the sheer distance of the FTL jump. This is your window.
However, opening fire directly with the ship (or against other hijackers) may allow the Super Battleship to fire upon the hijackers, effectively ending the event.
Rules:
No alliances between separate factions hijacking groups.
You CAN fire upon other hijackers trying to hijack the ship, but it must be done as stealthily as possible).
You CAN protect the ship from hijackers, but you won't get the Super Battleship. You may instead get other rewards (like older model battleships, modern cruisers, etc.)
Due to the position of the ship's location, you may (or may not depending on how many groups of hijackers enter the event), attract unwanted attention from pirates.
