STANDARD FEATURES
- Escape Pods
- Universal Docking Ring
- Long-range Communications Array
- False Telesponder
- HoloNet Transceiver
- Standard Life Support Systems
- Standard Navigational Systems
- Standard Sensor Array
- Standard Targeting Array
- Industrial Tractor Beams: For use in salvage operations, the combat freighter's twin beams on top and underneath allow it to manipulate objects and debris in close proximity with fine detail.
- (Altered) More firepower than original: two more heavy laser cannons, additional turret, increased torpedo rack
- Combat Design: Not only is the Astro-class better armed than the average light freighter, it was also built to better withstand the unique stresses of space warfare. Each cabin is capable of independent pressurization, allowing the ship to stay in a fight even after sustaining heavy damage, provided no critical systems are destroyed. The combat freighter is also very resilient, able to operate while damaged for more extended periods on average.
- (Altered) Modded: Taking advantage of the design of the initial ship. The new ship had more weaponry installed allowing greater use in combat. As well as opening up the hangar bay to connect a specific small personal fighter to it, the Dvasia.
- Fast Recharge Shields: Luxury editions of the Astro-class are equipped with more expensive, state of the art quick refresh particle and ray shielding technology. While LX variants share the same damage threshold when struck by something like a heavy turbolaser or proton torpedo, over the course a more prolonged engagement against equal firepower it can take a more significant beating than the base combat freighter.
- (Altered) An additional small generator was attached to the ships thrusters in order to increase overall speed and put less stress on the main ones.
- Power Distribution: There is a good reason most freighters of the same classification as the Astro-class are not as well armed, and like much of starship design it is to do mostly with power requirements. On the cutting edge of energy harvesting and processing, SoroSuub has overcome this system strain to a degree, but the combat freighter still has issues running all systems at full power for extended periods. In a prolonged engagement, the Astro-class will eventually have to slow down or reduce power to either weapons or shields.
- Exposed Drive Ports: There are six rear ion drive ports on the outer hull of an Astro-class, with little armoring and protruding energy shunts. It goes without saying that the more of these drives are critically damaged, the less powerful the freighter's sublight speeds.
- (Added/altered) The opening of the hangar bay further lost the use of room in the hangar bay for a speeder or flyers. And the alterations made prevent most other fighters, even of a similar size to the Dvasia, from being connected were they they to try.
(Altered) The Astro-LX combat Freighter was somewhat modified by Salis to fit her needs. The most notable of the modifications was the hangar bay, which permitted the direct attachment of her personal fighter the Dvasia, it’s small size was somewhat larger than a standard speeder, and as a result needed to have some serious changes made. The result did permit it’s presence, but neutralized nearly any other use of the hangar and relegated any speeders to storage. (end alteration)
Cockpit
Utilizing a horizontal layout parallel to the fore of the starship instead of perpendicular, the Astro's cockpit allows for more space at the controls at the sacrifice of less overall room for crew aside from the ship's pilot and co-pilot.
Passenger Bay
A fully functional and state of the art, if somewhat cramped crew compartment, the Astro takes full advantage of Sullustan subterranean design and architecture to give the impression of a more spacious recreational area. Capable of carrying up to eight passengers, what the freighter merely matches in terms of function it excels at in style over most other models. (altered for +2 passengers)
Med Bay
Equipped with a serviceable compartment for triage and recovery, the stock Astro's med bay is filled with state of the art medical technology. Given the combat freighter's intended function on high risk trade routes, each ship comes with the optional addition of a GH-7 Medical Analysis Unit when sold.
Commercial Cargo Bay
Able to transport up to one hundred metric tons of cargo, its stock design is competitive with most light freighters on the current market. The Astro-class comes with an optional add of two F-LER or equivalent models and a single XP-38 All Terrain Rough Rider at the cost of some storage capacity, as the cargo bay is the only part of the ship large enough for them to be stored. (Alteration: Though not by a large margin, the cargo capacity has been mildly increased with separate holds for 20 more tuns of cargo.)
Engine Room
Located in the aft of the shift, the engine or reactor compartment houses the freighter's Griffyn-XTG Lightspeed Unit, as well as the internal componentry of the freighter's six Boav Ion Drive ports.
