The Dread Renegade was one of the four spaceships participating in the Toro Regatta during the eponymous episode. It was the first ship to get destroyed.
It is not known who the pilot of the Dread Renegade is.
Early in the race, the Dread Renegade fired a cable at the Crimson Light to attempt to rip out the ship's Lightfold Engine. At the same time, the Invader Red unleashed a load of photon missiles. Gary Goodspeed managed to maneuver the Crimson Light underneath the Dread Renegade however, and the Dread Renegade thus took the full force of the missiles.
