- 150 metric tons of cargo capacity.
- Extremely comfortable - luxurious, even - for Trandoshans, Barabels, and similar reptilian species. People from Tatooine or Jakku will find the excessive warmth downright homey.
- INCIS customs inspection probes can be used for close-range penetrating scans, and also for short-range interdiction, comparable to pulse-mass mines or gravity mines.
- Designed for Trandoshans. The controls are suitable for Trandoshan claws and grip strength.
- Designed for Trandoshans. The life support is permanently set a notch or two warmer than most humanoids prefer. A past owner deactivated the video portion of the comm systems because wearing fewer clothes tends to be a survival strategy.
- There are Trando scales and Wookiee fur in some of the crevices, just vestiges of bad old days, scraps of trophies and the like. They can short out systems or block intakes, all kinds of bad luck waiting to happen.
- A little underpowered by modern standards, at least for a unique personal attack ship. It's an old boat.
The Gizka Inferno was the custom assault ship and personal residence of the Trandoshan conqueror Sizzchar circa 320 ABY. Lost in the legendary Battle of Drosh Mkghee, the vessel drifted through deep space for centuries.
It was reclaimed by a very lucky salvage crew, briefly used to traffic mushrooms across Silver Jedi borders, retrofitted to the specifications of a doomed Barabel scholar named Lorsh during the great evacuations incident to the Bryn'adul purge of Barab, and bounced its way through less interesting ownership until it wound up in the hands of Jerec Asyr.
Seeing the unmatched potential of this beautiful starship, Asyr and his people overhauled it as a prestige piece for Quekko's Choice Ship Emporium. They even plugged in some old Naboo interdiction/inspection probes and a secondhand custom hyperdrive worth as much as the rest of the ship put together.
