Description:
The Garden of Unending Delights is a Hutt caravel of sorts, a pleasure yacht containing fewer guns and less cargo space than a stock model, and far fewer guns or small craft than a modern warship of this size. It is a warship whose combat capacity has been seriously reduced in order to accommodate other pursuits.

Its outfitting comes from the intersection of Sith Empire and Black Sun assets. The sensor suite comes from a Sith Empire Monitor-class surveillance corvette. The Dominus-class starfighters are Sith Empire issue. If the small craft are put on patrol, the caravel can accommodate visitors' small freighters.

The vessel contains state-of-the-art holosuite and culinary facilities, as well as immensely comfortable accommodations for guests and entertainers. For Rasho the Hutt's amusement, and in a nod to tradition, several holding cells contain a variety of wild animals. One is the Umak Leth Universal Energy Cage from the booby trap in the former throne room of the Empire.

In most respects, the vessel is unexceptional -- an old frigate with half a squadron of starfighters and a harem

Considering that the original ship didn't have a hanger, I'd be remiss in approving this when it has two squads and gunships without a MAJOR refit and the dev thread to show it. Koensayr also isn't that closely related that they'd just sell you another faction's tech because you were a Sun member. They'd like to keep doing business with everybody they can and that means not selling out proprietary designs.

Also remember that this ship is one of the early post-gulag plague ships so it's tech is way behind where most others are now, one of the reasons I'd want a dev thread. A beefier description would be nice too.

@[member="Domino"] - I'd been informed that updating old ships to the new factory standard was acceptable. Either way, I've dropped fighter capacity by 75% (it was already at 67% of allowable fighters for a ship of this size), removed the Koensayr gunships, and lengthened the description, as requested.

That's if you were updating the entire class of ship.
Approved pending secondary.
