The '''''Huntress''''' is a [[JumpShip]] of unspecified type. It was the private vessel of [[Hassid Ricol]], the "Red Duke," and served as his flagship. It could carry at least two [[DropShip]]s,<ref name=PoG>''The Price of Glory'', ch. 23: Ricol agrees to move the Gray Death Legions' two DropShips from Helm to [[Stewart]] on the ''Huntress''</ref> with the implication that it had carried the six DropShips of Duke Ricol when he came to the [[Free Worlds League]] in [[3028]], which in turn indicates it might be a ''[[Star Lord (JumpShip class)|Star Lord]]''-class vessel; this remains unconfirmed however.

Ricol used the ''Huntress'' to travel to [[Trellwan]] in [[3024]], where [[Grayson Carlyle]] thwarted his attempt to seize the world through underhanded tactics.<ref>''Decision at Thunder Rift''{{cn}}</ref> (The ''Huntress'' is somewhat inaccurately described as a "[[WarShip]]" at one point in the novel.)

In late [[3025]] or early [[3026]] Ricol traveled to [[Verthandi]] aboard the ''Huntress'', again only to find his plans for the world were being undone by Carlyle and his [[Gray Death Legion]]. The Verthandi situation came to a head when the ''Huntress'', after having left the system, reappeared at the zenith [[jump point]] with a [[Draconis Combine]] war fleet—right in the middle of a [[Lyran Commonwealth]] fleet. In the ensuing standoff, Ricol's forces evacuated the system without engaging in a space battle.<ref>''Mercenary's Star''{{cn}}</ref>

In the ensuing standoff, Ricol's forces evacuated the system without engaging in a space battle.<ref>''Mercenary's Star''</ref>
  
In [[3028]] the ''Huntress'' brought Ricol and (at least) six DropShips to [[Helm]], including the ''[[Alpha (Individual DropShip)|Alpha]]'', after Ricol learned that both [[ComStar]] and [[House Marik]] had developed a keen interest in the world. At Helm, Ricol had the ''Huntress'' and one other unspecified JumpShip at his disposal, with an implied combined carrying capacity of at least eight DropShips between them. The ships would end up bringing the [[Gray Death Legion]]'s DropShips away from Helm.<ref>''The Price of Glory''{{cn}}</ref>
