Description: The "Stellar Vulture" started life as a standard Wayfarer Class Transport ship with the hangar attachment. Keanu Shan originally bought the freighter with money earned as a Merc with the intent of using it as a home in space, and a base of operations for his freelancing operations (in essence a space garage for his starfighter). Eventually as he began to spend more time there and started expanding his operations he decided he needed something that could not only defend itself but hit well above its class. Using money from several particularly lucrative deals he decided to begin his process of remodelling his humble freighter. Keanu contacted "T&S Fleeting Solutions" who were able to customize the ship to his specifications. The font cargo bay and airlock of the hangar add-on has been converted into a missile room containing all the launchers and missiles. The front of the cargo container has been fitted with weapon bay doors which open to reveal the hidden missiles. Keanu plans on continuing the upgrades in the future as his budget allows.
Crew: 13, currently crewed by Keanu, 12 astromech droids, and 1 Binary Load Lifter.
Development Thread: Upon Request
Intent: Needed a ship which could pack a hidden punch enabling it to hit above its class instead of the traditional high energy requirements of turbolasers, to use as a mobile "micro" carrier, base of operations, and assault ship for surprise missions, and home.
Who Can Use This: Keanu Shan, any friends I might loan it to on a short term basis.
