OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: To create a personal Freighter
- Image Source: RPGGAMER
- Canon Link: N/A
- Permissions: N/A
- Primary Source: N/A
- Manufacturer: Nola using CEC parts
- Affiliation: Nola's Personal Freighter
- Market Status: Closed-Market
- Model: Modified YT-1300
- Production: Unique, one of a kind
- Material: Durasteel hull
- Classification: light Freighter
- Length: 49m
- Width: 42m
- Height: 9m
- Armament: very high
- 2 forward facing fixed Long range Turbolaser Cannons
- 2 Proton Torpedo Launchers (16 torpedoes each)
- 1 rear facing Heavy quad laser turret
- Defenses: Average
- Squadron Count: None
- Maneuverability Rating: very High (utilizes the Rogue-class Porax-38 star fighter repuslerlifts)
- Speed Rating: Extreme (utilizes 5 twin ion sublight engines)
- Hyperdrive Class: extreme | .5 (utilizes a modified J-type Naboo star skiff)
- Standard Communications Array
- Standard Life Support Systems
- Standard Navigational Systems
- Standard redundant Sensors
- Standard weapons: Proton Torpedo Launchers.
- Standard Targeting Systems
- Can Enter and fly around an Atmosphere and Land
- Standard rear heavy quad turret
- "Screamer" Active Jammer
- Advanced "SLAM" system
- Individual weapon power source. Each weapon system utilized its own power source to safely enable it to use weapon systems meant for much larger ships.
- Modified Weapons: Long Range Turbolaser cannons
- Modified J-type Naboo star skiff integrated hyperdrive
- Modified Repulsorlift Engines from a Rogue-class Porax-38 starfighter
- Modified Twin ion sublight Engines
- Modified integrated redundant Deflector Shield Generator
- The "Ugly" freighter is a very versatile, jack of all trades Freighter that can carry cargo while also can hold its own in a dogfight if needed.
- Integrated redundant shielding.
- Larger weapon systems (ie. 2 forward facing long range Turbolasers)
- Extreme speeds due to the 5 twin ion sublight engines for real space travel
- Extreme maneuverability due to the P-38 repuslorlifts for atmospheric movement.
- Extended Cargo holds
- Modified Integrated hyperdrive
- The ships engines are subject to over heating when utilizing them at full capacity for long periods of time. (In other words Just don't go for a joyed ride.)
- Turbo laser canons are prone to overheat if not expended properly in a dogfight. (You better be a good shot so don't miss)
- When the advanced SLAM is activated fuel consumption doubles! (Yeehaw that was fun, let's do that again)
- Regardless of the shielding the ship may have, the Hull armor was just average. (So pray your shields don't fail.)
- Using the integrated hyperdrive too many times too rapidly will fry the system and need a full repair.
- Not really a weakness but a flaw is due to the typical ever so loud screeching, of the 5 twin ion engines you can hear the ship coming for miles. (No ninja skills here)
Large stepping stone in Nola’s display in engineering, the Ugly Freighter was designed to transport a vast higher amount of cargo than the norm for a ship its size while also providing a deterrent with its massive firepower, Unfortunately, this was never a thing due to most pirates always wanting to just steal the cargo. The vessel still features the distinctive CEC aesthetic and has now incorporated an after-market addition of an active jammer and twin turbo lasers. The Nightingale is a highly modified YT-1300 freighter boasting a YT-2000 central cockpit to pilot the craft, 3 twin ion sublight engines installed where the Yt-1300's former engines called home, 2 Yt-2400 cockpit frames were installed on either side of the Hull and were converted to hold 2 twin ion sublight engines (one on each side respectively) at the rear and a view port at the front for passengers to relax and enjoy the view. The cargo hold wing pods from a Yt-1930 were installed as well as longer heavy duty YT-1300 mandibles in order to support the large external cargo holds, various external cargo holds were added to the ship enabling it to carry a much more larger capacity. The ship was able to open up a cargo port that was located in-between the mandibles and cargo containers during space flight to pick up any space debris. Nola acquired and installed both a modified and integrated hyperdrive from a J-type Naboo star skiff for those fast long hauls and the repulsive lifts from Rogue-class P-38s for those quick maneuvers.
Overall summary the Nightingale boasted much larger weapon systems and a higher cargo capacity, with more powerful engines to both move said added weight easily but also at extreme rates of speed. The ships maneuverability was modified for those precise maneuvers to ensure the ship doesn't take damage in tight spaces and to out run and maneuver possible threats that may try and steal the cargo.
