- A craft with a massive amount of life support systems.
- Standard sensor suite.
- Standard navicomputers and maneuvering thrusters.
- Large and spacious corridors and passenger quarters, each passenger cabin has its own adjustable artificial gravity generator.
- Internal transportation network, including mini-speeders and rail lines for transporting people and droids.
- A hangar with space for shuttles to move about be boarded with little difficulty or hassle. The main boarding bay is, like the passenger-accessible portions of the ship, clean and luxurious. Under the main hangar is a more utilitarian maintenance hangar and supply hangars where they can receive supplies, equipment, parts, crew, etc.
- Powerful sublight engines, designed to elude capture or destruction due to the fact it has no weapons systems of its own.
- Very powerful reactors powering massive shield generator projectors, these are capital ship grade shields.
- Powerful transmitter arrays for both passenger and ship use, these transmitters are exorbitantly-powerful on purpose, so that if it is in danger it can call for help and expect to be heard.
- The ship has a massive number of luxury autochefs and droid servers, butlers, maids, etc. to maintain a minimal crew compliment along with large numbers of droid maintenance bays.
- Large public interior recreational spaces with a massive numbers of pools, gardens, parks, restaurants, bars, clubs, and other luxury facilities.
- Large number of plants, with some non-threatening exotic birds for ambience with an artificial environment system which replicates sunlight to keep all plants and people, feeling as though they are on an actual planet.
- Highly-automated systems for maintaining the ship's major and minor systems.
- A massive ship, can take a large number of passengers in exquisite comfort across the galaxy without trouble.
- Large sublight engines can propel it at amazing speed for a ship its size, this is a safety mechanism to protect it against pirate raiders and privateers.
- Incredibly powerful particle shielding to prevent asteroid impact damage and boarding, alongside the obvious anti-piracy capability.
- Unarmed, this ship relies on speed and toughness, and possibly outside escort to protect itself.
- Security systems are lacking beyond basic anti-intruder lockdown protocols
- Much of the ship is very open, very inefficient use of all this space, if the hull is breached these large space will vent, and can kill thousands.
A relatively-simple ship, whose design is focused upon luxury and comfort for its crew and efficiency for its droids and crew in handling the ship, its systems, and its passengers' needs. The ship is designed as a massive flagship mainstay for large cruise lines who have galaxy-spanning tours or luxury transport passenger lines to and from worlds with large enough populations to warrant such a large ship being used. It is seen, in the Crossroads Republic, where it is built, as a symbol of pride in their industrial and design prowess. These ships compete on a very even playing field with their primary design rivals from Mon Calamari due to their sheer size and defensive capabilities on top of speed and luxury. But they are also designed quite a bit easier to build, therefore cheaper to procure for prospective buyers, than the wildly-unique Mon Calamari ships of their own size. It is somewhat common to see these ships in the Crossroads System as well as the Outer Rim main trade routes. They come in a variety of internal designs in terms of their themes, their colors, the style, etc. Mainly, their hulls are colored white, due to white paint being the cheapest to purchase in bulk, with markers unique to their owners' lines.
