I struggled with this a bit too, until I realized that they don't actually exist. If you have Battlefleet Koronus, I'd suggest picking an Imperial ship with similar stats to the Explorers (frigate for frigate, cruiser for cruiser, ect...)
If you don't, I'd suggest taking the stats for the Explorer's ship and essentially duplicate them. Captain Fel is likely meant as a foil for the explorers, and having a comparable ship fits that brand just fine. If you have time to be fancy, I'd suggest jotting down a couple descriptors for the ship to make it distinct from your group's (colors, how baroque the hull is, how he likes to decorate the main halls of his ship, how much gold leaf and cherubs he prefers on his bridge, ect...).
It would have been handy if FFG had included a little note about that in the book, considering its supposed to be a starter adventure for both the Players and the GM...
The Fel Hand does make an appearance in page 135 of Lure of the Expanse (which is a great adventure). It's similar to the sample Sabre frigate that the Core Rulebook gives you on page 211, so you could also use that to represent the vessel.
"Hadarak's ship, the Fell Hand, is deliberately left up to the GM to define.....The GM should use the Stats for the Sabre (see page 211)" p383 of the rulebook (in the black box at top right of page).
I do love it when the rulebook directly contradicts itself in the same paragraph. The way it's written the Sabre isn't even a suggestion.
Also just finishing "Into the Maw". My party have a Lunar but I personally I decided to stick with the Sabre but put a second ship (and third) using some of the rules for squadrons from Battlefleet Koronus.
Thanks for the replies. Ill scale it to be a ship on par with theirs. Allows the players the chance to see just how tough they are. to get a feel for their own ship in a way.
