[SIZE=12pt]Description: [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]The Star’s End was discovered by Wan Min’s ancestor, David Brightsky, adrift in the Outer Rim around 152ABY. He was able to salvage it and return it to its former glory and began using it as a personal transport. After the Brightsky clan settled on Coruscant around 200ABY, it was placed into storage and used infrequently to entertain guests and go out on short missions to Corellia and Kuat where the Brightsky clan used it to negotiate business deals. Once the plague swept through the Alliance and civilization itself began to collapse, the Brightsky’s returned the Star’s End to storage for several centuries and carried out basic maintenance on the vessel but did not use it. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]After Wan Min’s family died and she lost her teaching position on Coruscant, she took a small portion of the family fortune and used it to modify the Star’s End and transform it from a consular ship used for negotiations into a deep space survey and salvage vessel. She kept the old armaments, gutted the navigational computer and installed a modern one, and upgraded the sensors to allow her to engage in deep space salvage operations. However, Wan Min quickly discovered that these modifications and even this ship had a downside: Because of its age and the extent of the modifications she was constantly doing maintenance on the ship. Systems have a tendency to break down at inopportune moments, the engines are in need of extensive maintenance, and the power conduits need replacing due to the energy demands of the sensors and weapons. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Consumables: Up to six months for one person. One month for a crew of five. Can hold enough consumables for up to thirty people but only for very short duration trips of two- seven days. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Intent: To create a personalized vessel for Wan Min Brightsky to engage in salvage operations in the Outer Rim while reflecting her family history and unique taste in vessels. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Who Can Use This: Wan Min Brightsky[/SIZE]
