Special Features:


Maneuverability Rating: 5

Speed Rating: 4

Hyperdrive Class: 0.8

Strengths:
-Eyes in the Sky: The ship has upgraded sensors with a range of 500,000 km, used both for scouting new systems and keeping an eye on other starships, preferably well before they see her.
-Fast Traveler: By combining the Mark IV and Zephyr hyperdrive, Aeshi has given the ship impressive hyperdrive capabilities, with much faster than normal speeds and the ability to adjust course without reverting to realspace, as well as capabilities of quickly finding her location in uncharted space.
-Dubious Cargo: While not as dedicated of a smuggler ship as others, it has capabilities for smuggling, including a cap-drain to prevent a few ion shots, and a tractor shroud to evade tractor beams.
-Survival: With the upgraded deflector shield, Aeshi has made the ship more durable for engagements with the law, pirates, or unknown hostiles in the frontier.
-Hyperwave Comm: With intentions to talk either with potential clients across the galaxy, or with GUIDE from unmapped regions, she upgraded the communications array to a hyperwave comm, giving her the ability to send messages through hyperspace for long-range communications.

Weaknesses:
-It's still a freighter: While she has upgraded the engines for more speed and marginally better maneuverability, it's still a freighter and can't pull crazy stunts or dog-fighting maneuvers. Its shield is the only true defense.
-Non-combatant: While the ship is armed, Aeshi left the weapons as-is from when she purchased the ship. It means she has very little offensive capabilities in responding to threats, with running away as the better option.

Description:
After Aeshi's rescue from the Rogue Sith prison during the Omega War, Roth convinced her to return to Susefvi, at least for a time, so that the rest of the family would know she was still alive. She did so, but found herself isolated from the rest of the rather wealthy and successful Tillian family after her growing up in the slums of Coruscant and smuggling through the Outer Rim. So, with some help from her family and her earlier connections, she landed a position as a starnaut with GUIDE and a trade charter from the Nubian Chartered Merchants Council, and then purchased and upgraded a ship to manage that more effectively.

Starting with improvements in mind, she purchased a MCX-1150 freighter, and set about tinkering. The first thing to be upgraded was the sensor array, with an old ANq system she purchased from Lucerne Labs along with their Zephyr class hyperdrive. That increased her sensor capacity to 500, 000 km and hyperdrive rating to 0.8. Much faster than most freighters, helping with the fact that her trade outpost was on the frontier end of the Hydian Way. With the sensors, she can also see pirates long before they see her for the most part and with the hyperdrive, she can bypass interdiction fields. More useful in her mind was the effects they would have on her surveying missions. Such a long range scanner would let her observe and chart new systems from a long ways off without having to fly into potentially hazardous situations. Or to see pirates, customs, and other ships long before they might see her.

Given the sometimes rather delicate nature of her business, she also added some defensive measures. Not weapons, as those were too obvious and attracted too much attention. But she installed a cap drain model to handle disabling measures long enough for her to escape into hyperspace. Additionally, she also added on a tractor shroud to prevent any opponents from trapping her. They took a fairly sizable chunk of her cargo space, but with such a large ship, it was still sizable enough to work with. She also added smuggling compartments- several below the main hold and scattered through other parts of the ship, including the cockpit.

She also installed a hyperwave comm to communicate with GUIDE and added encrypted channels and beacons tied directly to the Beacon of Broadcast. With reactor energy still left to spare, Aeshi also went ahead and upgraded the engines for more speed and maneuverability, while boosting the deflector shield to a military grade. It took some more of her cargo space, but she considered it a worthy trade-off.

Starting with 400 metric tons cargo capacity, upgrades the ship down to 350 metric tons. She left most of that open for cargo and supplies, especially for long trips. The small living chamber she left mostly alone, not seeing a need to change it any. She did upgrade the captain's chair, seeing a good chair as worth its weight in phrik.

She left the rest of the capabilities open to further modifications as needs arose.

Intent: To flesh out and establish Aeshi's personal starship, designed for a mix of freight hauling, smuggling on the side, and her beginning forays into exploring uncharted spaces.
Who Can Use This: Aeshi Tillian and compatriots
