- The Enigma II is equipped with all the features and facilities one would expect from a vessel of its size and purpose, including advanced sensors and communications systems. Due to its customisable nature, the exact specifications will wary from vessel to vessel.
- Enigma IIs dock a small auxiliary shuttle able to ferry up to eight individuals, often Saaraishash Purification Legionnaires, in-system. It is fast but unarmed and aside from semi-stealth systems comparable to the Enigma II's, its specifications are as generic as they come.
- Stealth Technology:
- Surveillance Technology:
- Utility Technology:
- Passing Shadow: While not a true stealth vessel, the Enigma II's combination of sensor-baffling technologies is able to render it all but invisible to most conventional sensors; it does nothing to deter visual observation, however.
- Eye in the Sky: Packed to bursting with top-of-the-line communications and surveillance technology, Enigma IIs are exceptionally well-suited for service in the frontline of the Saaraishash's insidious web of surveillance, infiltration, assassination.
- All-Purpose: Though its Technical Specifications remain the same, the Enigma II features a significant amount of internal modularity.
- Passing Shadow: Significantly better armed than its predecessor it may be, but the Enigma II is still wildly unsuitable for naval combat, its missiles being designed primarily to terminate with extreme prejudice ground-based enemies of the state.
- Exposed Nacelles: While the Enigma-class is capable of both subluminal and hyperspace travel using only its main drive, it needs the nacelles to reach High speeds or above and their destruction could cause a cascade effect, crippling the vessel.
"Secure beneath the watchful eyes."
The Saaraishash, ever-vigilant protectors of the Sith Empire, were both seen and unseen, operating in deepest secrecy and the light of day alike; to meet the organisation's varied needs, an even more advanced variant of the original Enigma was put into production shortly after the Imperial Anathema of 861 ABY.
While officially designated as a surveillance corvette, the Enigma II quickly found itself used in a wide array of situations and for an eclectic mixture of purposes, including mobile surveillance posts full of surveillance technicians, mobile operating centres for squads of Jedi-hunting Purification Legionnaires, and even residences-cum-transports for Inquisitors with a penchant for constant travel - some have even been used to transport particularly important prisoners in Universal Energy Cages!
Whatever its purpose, the Enigma II remains a tangible representation of the Saaraishash's dedication to the Sith-Imperial cause and a stern warning to those who harbour treasonous thoughts, for one never knows when a missile might descend from the heavens to end a traitor's life.
