Orignally built for the Alliance navy during the second war, the ship was sold off to raise capitol. Purchased by captain Leggomahn, it was converted for use as a privateering vessel. Allready fast and manouverable, he improved its armamants and provisions, equipping it for long hauls and extended periods of operating alone. However, things went bad during an expedition to raid the Kalimdor coasts. The Saucy Gibbon was fired upon by the gunners at Northwatch Hold, and was struck in its considerable power magazines. The ship exploded and sank, with most of the crew lost.
