Starships and Vehicles Guide - D Daknene
-
Berell Industries Stock Light
Freighter once owned by the old smuggler Ocern
Gabe. Fast and manoeuvrable, the
Daknene served him well for decades until the constant re-fits proved too
much for her weakening sub-frame and he sold her on. Dangerous
Curve
- Modified Ghtroc Industries Class 720
Freighter owned by the smuggler Jan
Lomona. Jan usually used this
powerful ship when using the alias of Joel
St John. Able to carry 4
passengers, the Curve had a cargo capacity of 70 tonnes and a swift x1/2
hyperspace multiplier. Dark
Maiden - Corellian Corvette
attached to the Victory Class Star
Destroyers, which attacked the Chancai
Trade Centre under the command of Glann
Cipple and Arcc Nedeen. Dark Phoenix – Starship belonging to the then Imperial
Blake De’Athe. A swift and powerful freighter, De’Athe was able to out-manoeuvre two Rebel
Alliance X-wing fighters
in the Yavin System Dark Star II – Attack craft owned
by the bounty hunter Tarr Ranth
and once owned by his father. This
Mandel 3000 Dragon Attack Craft
was a 200-year-old design outfitted with the most potent of modern
technologies. Heddon 6 rotatable
drive units gave the Dark Star II
impressive sub light velocity, and the Koran
20 hyperdrive package made the Dark Star II among the fastest ships in
the sector. Ranth had confidence
enough in the Dark Star II to take her into battle against much larger
vessels, including the ICF Destiny,
captained by Ranths nemesis Captain
Nerain. Dark Star III - Vessel that succeeded the Dark Star II, owned solely by ex-bounty hunter and Jedi Knight Tarr Ranth. Co-designed by Ranth and Arach Raynor, this Heddon Systems Dark Star Stealth Craft
was built by the Unique Design
Corporation. Thirty metres
in length and capable of carrying forty metric tonnes of cargo the Dark Star III had a x1
hyperdrive multiplier with a x5 backup.
Requiring only a crew of one and utilising the latest in cockpit
slaved systems, she boasted a retractable forward firing ion cannon, a split quad laser cannon mounted on
port and starboard, gravity mines
capability for pursuing craft and a twin
proton torpedo launcher.
Her single emission shielded Heddon Ion Engine provided blistering
speeds at sublight velocities. All in all, the perfect craft for the newly
installed Jedi Knight to carry out his duties across the Mid-Rim. Dawn
Raider
- Stock Light Freighter belonging to the ex-rebel field researcher and now
ship-for-hire Lee Anarri. This Afagard
Assemblies Sunstream 4.6 Series freighter was a
28-meter long vessel of advanced years, which Anarri began to upgrade. Dawnrider – Nebulon-S Fast Attack Craft assigned to the water world of Rai for the use of the Jedi Knights who made their new base there. D’Dash Decider - Stock Heavy Freighter owned by Dressels
main smuggler Petrol Merritch. Broad and flat, this Afagard Assemblies freighter
had massive cargo space, concealed weaponry and powerful engines. Deadman’s
Dream
- Carlonian Feeses starship. Bought many years before as a simple
sub-frame and drive system, Feese carefully built the Deadmans Dream from
parts he acquired throughout his assassin career. Using many various mechanics and
technicians, he drafted the Dream into one of the most effective hunter/killer
vehicles in the Mid-Rim and beyond. Dead Storm – Starship which once
belonged to the slave master of the Twi’lek
Olya Denadre until his death.
A swift but small vehicle, it served her well as she began her new
life of freedom. Delvon
290 –
Antiquated speeder bike class belonging to the force-sensitive speeder Skeet Jonas. Racing the 290 primarily on Junduk IV in the Ki-Ki Sector, Skeet tinkered with it constantly until it was
tuned to peak performance. Desando
Dynamics AM-49 - Mid-range and hyperspace capable vessel made for the family market
and a hot seller throughout the inner systems of the Setnin Sector. Affordable to many, smugglers and pirates soon started using these
ships for their owns underworld usage's. Desando Dynamics
DD-24 `V’ Wing Strike Fighter - One of the few examples of a Desando Dynamics fighter, the `V’ Wing, which pre-dated both the Republic and New Republic versions of the same name by some years, was a
potent short range strike fighter. At
13.5 meters long and with an x1 hyperdrive multiplier, the `V’ Wing could leap into locations
and attack at short notice. Powered by
a binary Novaldec J-77 engine, the `V’ Wing was impressively decked out with 2 Blastech BMF-6 laser
cannons, Arakyd proton torpedoes,
a Torplex deflective shield
generator, a Siep-Irol sensor array
and toughened Desando Dynamics ablative shield armour. Though only produced for a limited time,
the `V’ Wing soon became industry
fighter standard throughout the Sector. Desando
Dynamics DD-472 - Freighter commonly seen in the inner systems of the galaxy
and a popular play vehicle of the rich and famous. Regularly flown around the Trefnare System and used by the
billionaire Holovid stars of the Chollywood
vid industry. Desando Dynamics DF-165 – Popular freighter
seen commonly throughout the Setnin
and surrounding sectors. Capable of
vast distances for such a small vehicle, this is something of a workhorse,
able to take frequent hyperspace trips with little maintenance and requiring
surprisingly little attention.
Desando
Dynamics ME-45 - Stock Heavy Freighter
of a similar class to Jan Lomonas ship the Berone Sunrise. Divine –
Short
range freighter designed for luxury cruises to satellite moons and asteroids.
The Divine was owned by the

lines and invade Setnin. DS-667
