STANDARD FEATURES

• Standard life support (atmosphere in crew module and engine room only)
• Standard repulsors
• Standard communications and sensor equipment
• Standard tractor beams

ADVANCED SYSTEMS

• Heavily modified hyperdrive
• Highly capable automated repair/salvage systems with modular automated or manually-controlled tool/gripping arms
• Heavily modified sublight engines
• Heavily modified shield generators
• Advanced mapping sensors
• Rigger table
• Turret-mounted tractor shroud launchers x4
• Redundant cap drains
• Stygium cloaking device
• Lighthouse navigational aid
• SCINTEL flat-plane interdiction projector

STRENGTHS

• Capable of repairing larger or heavily damaged ships, even in battlefield conditions with the right staff support.
• Capable of salvaging efficiently and in high volume, and turning that salvage into usable components.
• Extraordinarily fast when traveling faster than light, and pretty quick at sublight too.
• Top-notch shields.
• Can escape tractor beams with prudent use of tractor shrouds.
• Unmatched navigational database of the Outer Rim and beyond.
• Can keep operating even if hit with ion cannons.
• Capable of cloaking
• Can serve as a high-powered navigational beacon. (See Merrill Lighthouse.)
• Capable of flat-plane battlefield-scale interdiction. (See SCINTEL Interdiction Projector.)
• Flexible.

WEAKNESSES

• Use of navigational beacon makes the ship a target. (See Merrill Lighthouse.)
• No life support (other than standard radiation shields, relativistic shielding, artificial gravity, and inertial compensators) throughout the bulk of the ship. Everywhere but the main crew compartment up front and the engine room out back is hard vacuum. If Jorus wants to move from the controls to the engine room, he needs to wear a space suit or send Saggy.
• Totally unarmed.
• Slow to turn.
• Even while the cloaking device is active, the ship's location could be vaguely estimated by magnetic and gravitic sensors and thrust trace analysis.

DESCRIPTION
The good ship City of Nar Shaddaa is Jorus Merrill's personal repair/salvage vessel. Totally unarmed but very durable, it's blisteringly quick on a straightaway — especially for a ryvving space train.

Jorus' wife, the shipwright and explorer Alndys ('Alna') D'Lessio, designed this ship in the mid-830s. She sold the design to a now-defunct shipwright called Subach-Innes, and the profits of the sale funded Alna and Jorus' charting of the Mara Corridor, the first new super-hyperlane in thousands of years. As the Mara Corridor project made Alna and Jorus unspeakably wealthy, they bought back the rights to the design, and Jorus squirrelled away a few of the actual boats too. Later, when they'd walked away from their fortune to reclaim a more authentic life, Jorus began tinkering with this particular hull.

He continued to tinker throughout his tenure as captain and principal engineer of the Wretched Hive, the notorious mobile ship-mod shop. After he retired in the early 860s, the City of Nar Shaddaa became his primary vessel, a ship that he and his droid Saggy could operate alone.

Common ports of call:

• Port Mynock
• Zoronhed
• The Daytrader
• The City of Wake
• Port Neverwhere
• Kyrikal and the Levantine Spur
• Kal'Shebbol, gateway to the Kathol Outback
• Q-27 (secret planet — cloaked visits only)

Jorus also took the ship out to join Cotan Sar'andor 's expedition to Companion Cresh, making the City of Nar Shaddaa one of the relatively few vessels that has flown outside the galaxy.

As usual, very nicely made submission.

• Please ask a permission from Alndys to use their character as a Manufacturer, and to use their ship, because it is a closed market sub according to the rules.
• Please link Jorus Merrill's bio to the Affiliation.
• And your ratings are underpowered (-3), if you want, you can edit this.

Fine with the ratings being low given the capabilities, profile linked. As for permission, Alndys isn't here anymore, but it's listed as a Silk Holdings ship - our company together. The company sub's in my name. That cover it? If not I can get in touch with the writer.

Unfortunately not, they posted the sub, so you need their permission.
