The '''''Nova Hunter''''' was a ''[[Fortress]]''-class [[DropShip]] that was hijacked under dubious circumstances into the "pirate belt" region of space at some point prior to [[3044]], apparently while it was carrying considerable treasure. There is some indication it was already a pirate ship at the time.<ref name=OLND>''Old Legends Never Die'' </ref>

It is generally held that [[Silas Bell]] threw himself in front of the captain during the hijacking, saving the man's life but suffering a mortal wound in return. What is not generally known is that Silas Bell was in fact one of two people trying to hijack the ship independently from each other. The other man was [[Fortran Merrick]], who had hired a crew to commandeer the ship but was caught in the process of sabotaging it by Bell. Merrick shot Bell, but his hired crew then took the ''Nova Hunter'' and left Merrick behind.

Silas Bell survived, unlike the rest of the ''Nova Hunter'''s crew, and went on to become a space pirate operating a ''Fortress''-class DropShip until he reportedly killed himself in [[3054]], crazed and in everlasting pain from the head wound he'd received. His daughter [[Justin Bell]] inherited his DropShip and continued to run it as a smuggler/pirate vessel.
