- Speed Angel: Thanks to some advanced ion engines, the Angel boasts speed and maneuverability well beyond that of the average freighter, making it easier to flee incoming danger.
- Smuggling Systems: The Angel has a number of concealed compartments throughout the cargo hold, as well as a bank of system jamming and spoofing programs all ideal for a smuggler.
- Lap of Luxury: The Angel isn't just a freighter, its a spacious, high-end personal transport boasting more luxury features than a fully-furbished penthouse suite.
- Not a Dogfighter: The Angel has very few weapons on board, and its defenses are purely standard, so the ship's best response when fired on is to escape the fight as quickly as possible before being taken out.
- Stand Out Ship: Being a SoroSuub personal luxury model can make the Angel stand out in a security lineup, especially on more impoverished worlds where small yachts like this are uncommon.
- Display Piece: Due to their complexity and delicateness, many of the Angel's more advanced and luxury systems will break down easily from sudden impacts or electrical shocks, such as from weaponry or ion cannons.
This heavily-modified Personal Luxury Yacht 3000 serves as the personal vessel of smuggler captain Nalah Tezan, who 'acquired' the vessel from a wealthy gambler and socialite whose pet name for Nalah became the basis for ship's name. While its previous owner was content with a fairly standard luxury liner, Nalah had other ideas for her new ship and immediately set about modifying the yacht. She began with an enhanced suite of communications, scanner, and jamming systems to keep the Angel and its messages safe from inspection. She also had a series of hidden smuggling compartments added to the cargo hold for moving illegal cargo.
Of course, should all these defensive measures fail, she greatly enhanced the ion engines and maneuvering thrusters for quick getaways, and added a remote-controlled ground buzzer cannon for taking out pesky ground-based threats. And, if all else truly fails, the ship comes with a distress beacon and two escape pods just in case Nalah and her droids need to abandon ship. Of course, being short on defensive modifications means the Angel is easy to damage in a dogfight, and many of its more advanced or luxury systems will break easily when under stress.
Still, despite its faults the Ardent Angel has served its captain well, and Nalah continues to fly the yacht with pride.
