- Bespoke: This ship is designed and built with a specific purpose and specific person in mind, being detailed and engineered to their desires and specifications, making it quite hard for others to figure out how it works and operates without being given some training by the original owner.
- Comprehensive operation systems: As this ship is built and designed for the use by an artificial intelligence, this ship can boast a large amount of high tech operation systems coupled to a ZEUS Mk II droid core for optimal protection, making it quite hard for unprofessional slicers to even get a grip on this ship's systems.
- Fully automated: Due to its automated systems, this ship can operate with a minimal crew, if any. It is capable of remote activation and operating with minimal manual input, allowing the systems to work even when there's not a living soul on board.
- Stealthy ship: Due to the ship's stygium crystal integrated placements and comprehensive cloaking system, it is very hard to spot it and even when it's spotted, it's shape, color and size make it hard to keep track of it. With reduced heat signature, the stygium's full cloaking, this vessel is like a shadow on a moonless sky.
- Fully automated: The flipside of being fully automated is that EMP and ION weaponry will pose a serious thread to this ship, capable of forcing its systems to reboot or to get fried completely.
- Not exactly the best weapon: This vessel's capacities are geared mainly to infiltration, observation and research, thus removing much of the need to pack it with any high caliber weaponry beyond the basics necessary to get out of tricky situations.
- Stealth issues: The stygium cloaking device must be deactivated prior to using any weaponry, thus forcing the user of this ship to take a more defensive approach to any and all altercations. Reactivating the cloaking device also takes some time after deactivation, meaning it's a risk the user needs to be willing to make.
- Volatile: When the shields are pierced through, this ship may become a serious fire hazard, with it's reactor expelling highly volatile waste gasses through its exhaust ports, any well aimed shot at these portholes or a shot penetrating into the reactor chamber may cause a violent explosion.
As expected from
Tranquility
, in her vocation as a sentient droid and AI system and as a high standing member of the Zweihander Union, she managed to get herself a priority request through with the Nargath & Zanareth Unbrella Corporation for the construction of a high tech ship that would suit both her needs and her desires. Upon receiving this request, N&Z Umbrella Corp. Instantly delegated the task of its construction and inception to its best designers and engineers.Bys using a lot of references of a few of the more imposing ships within the company's arsenal, the designers came up with a sleek and slippery design which is aimed to pierce through any opposition as surgically precise as possible for a ship it's size, with a narrow hull, long straight edges to minimize it's surface tension and additional solar shielding to grant it a bit more maneuvrability at both low and high speeds. The choice of materials came by running through the checklist of desired traits, using only the most high quality varieties of Ersteel and Infinium, including the newest Infinium 013158 release, which was perfect for reactor and engine plating to further reduce the heat signature of the ship beyond the already very useful carbonite coating.
Additionally, some of the F.A.R. or Fusion arc reactor have been mitigated by building in direct exhaust ports and collector containers within the ship, the excess gasses from the internal fusion can be used to grant that additional little bit of power when sent through the exhaust ports near the engines, though these of course also end up being part of the ship's weaknesses through that, allowing for more speed when used, but also lowering the ship's defenses considerably in return.
Additionally, though this ship is capable of carrying up to a full squadron of SDS-1 Scarab droid fighters, it can optionally also be fitted with drop pods containing up to five units of the ZMDII-IS1 droid, which can be launched to infiltrate or locate ground bases, forces and send through all information through datalink.
