Carl Warrington's ship of choice when he is trying to keep a low profile as he travels between his various bases of operations is the Hibridium Kestrel. The Kestrel is a CR92 Corvette which looks identical to a more standard CR90 corvette. With this ship's ability to blend into the normal flow of intergalactic traffic, Carl has flown many a load of contraband weapons and wanted persons through the planetary security and even used the ship to great effect in his illicit building adventures. However, it would be a mistake to underestimate the Kestrel's firepower, the CR92 is heavily armed and defended while being incredibly fast for a ship of its size. Starting in Year 24 the ship was used to great effect to drive out several bandit infestations from the Tamarin Sector and has been heavily battle tested since that point.

The Hibridium Kestrel was also used to great effect in the War for Khuiumin. Carl entered the system initially with this ship when he arrived in system, using its stealth technology to scout unseen. He later engaged Zann forces with the ship and destroyed several. At one point, while trying to distract Zann forces from the main body of Rebel forces, Carl found himself hemmed in by Zann Kaloths including the Ravager and took two direct hits. However, the Hibridium Kestrel survived the battle and escaped with only minor scratches.
