I am a new Starfinder GM (although pretty old hat with Pathfinder and others) and I am preparing to take my players through this Adventure Path and we are all pretty pumped as the Sun and the Burning Archipelago is one of the coolest parts of the Pact worlds!!
However, while skimming through my pdf copies of the adventure and looking at the Pawn collection as well, I can find no representation of the Breath of Embers starship, it is not listed in the product description.
My players will definitely want to claim it, and I cannot disagree as I think it is one of the coolest ship designs. (And the AP itself suggest salvaging and claiming it)
Does anyone know if there is an official pawn of the Breath of Embers? Or was it an oversight in the printing? And if so is there an un-official Token that you would recommend for use with our VTT? Thank you all in advance for your help, and Thank you Paizo peeps for continuing to make such amazing content!

You can see the Breath of Embers fleeting from the Firewhale in the splash art of p4 of Fire Starters; I snipped that image out (using MS Paint 'cause I'm cheap like that lol) and have been using that in VTT ever since. My party is gearing up to start Chapter 5 in the coming weeks, so I'm sure the ol' Breath of Embers will be gearing up soon!
(If you're interested, here's how I think out Tier 9 Breath of Embers is going to look like. Paste the below JSON into the "Paste in JSON from a previous design" section on James Turner's awesome shipbuilder tool, and you can see the statblock at the bottom.)
