Actually, it's number III, because its the third one built by Bluedevil.
He built two of them for Tigra on FM, the second one, after the first
was destroyed, then he started on the third one here.  It's Tigra's
ship, but Blue designed it. 

It's a great design, too.. on FM, I'm part of her crew as a Commander.
