Starships and Vehicles Guide - B Belden
Transport Shuttle - With a crew of only 1 and able to carry 4 passengers, these
hardy ships were regularly used on long-haul trips through the sectors. 18 meters long and with 20 tonnes of cargo
space they trawled through the lanes with their x2 hyperdrive multipliers and
strong hulls. Berone Sunrise – Powerful and swift
Desando Dynamics DD-27 Stock Heavy
freighter piloted by the A-desandian
smuggler Jan Lomona. Launched from
the Belvaa Shipyards on A-desando and originally owned by the
widowed heiress Magda Blaine the Sunrise was 48 metres long
with a cargo capacity of 180 metric tonnes.
She was both fast and spacious with an x3/4 hyperdrive multiplier, a
heavy-duty repulsor system and
sleeping
room for 4 passengers and 2 crew but enough space to sleep another 8 scattered
around the ship. Capable both in and out
of atmosphere the Berone Sunrise boasted a military sensor suite, a heavy
laser cannon, 2 Quads and Ion and Proton torpedo launchers. Lomona also had 5 tonnes of concealed
refrigerated cargo space for illicit smuggling. The Sunrise had a distinctive split-level
cockpit, which was vital for the crew to make the most out of the vast window
coverage. Protected by an almost
thief-proof Securi-Grid System,
mantraps on both main and cargo ramps and the added protection of droids Troopie and Aurran the Sunrise was massively upgraded from when she was first
commissioned. She was later owned by
the ex-mercenary Ryath Centaur and
his wife Paige Centaur, the
daughter of Jan Lomona.
Blackwing
- Pirate vessel commanded by Bosun Fost, which attacked the New Republic ship Moz'a'ti close to the planet Leogard. Emblazoned with graffiti and an unelegant
bird the Blackwing caused havoc around the Mid-Rim. Blueheart - Janite Warpreacher battleship that came into conflict with the Wretched Eclipse, piloted by Ade Lomona. (RPG) Brotherhood – New Republic cruiser, which was often employed in and around the Mid-Rim, primarily in the Setnin,
Ki-Ki and Quarshannel Sectors. Heavily armed and outfitted with a mass of
ion cannons, the Brotherhood was packed with newly trained troops and toured
through the Mid-Rim training and assessing the progress of these troops. Bubble
Pod
- A small vehicle designed to carry one or two passengers swiftly around the
trade halls of the Chancai Trade
Centre. Buck
Aroo
- Glann Cipples starship that has
remained hidden in the area known as the Glades
on Abrogard for almost twenty
years. Upon arrival on Abrogard in the
Mannacks Renown, Cipple took the Buck Aroo back home to Amagad. BUG Fighter – Bestragex Utilities G-Series, also known as the S.I.E
fighter. Built specifically
for combat in the Setnin Sector,
this modified T.I.E Fighter had a
unique design. A circular cockpit,
backed by a single ion engine, hence the name, was surrounded by two wings,
one top and one below. Coloured in
Bestragex green, these were instantly recognisable and used extensively in
the sector. After leaving the sector
for a time, Grand Moff Treece
returned and used the BUG Fighters again as part of his plans to retake
Setnin for himself. |
