Starships and Vehicles Guide - S

S.D.F Skimmer – A low level aerial vehicle that was essential in S.D.F ground attacks against the forces of the Ki-Ki Sector. Used widely and pushed to the limits of its performance and endurance, this skimmer was a workhorse in the war.

S.I.E Fighter – Also known as the BUG Fighter, this Single Ion Engine vehicle was designed and built on the planet of Trefnare by the Imperial owned Bestragex Utilities Corporation. The Bestragex Utilities G-Series was used during the Battle of Mantin; the S.I.E. Fighter was a deft and powerful fighter, which caused the Alliance many problems. Bureaucracy meant that the Empire let the S.I.E. Project go to seed and instead stayed with the more familiar TIE Fighters and the newly built TIE Interceptors.

S-76 Sunwing - This Ridley-designed starfighter was built on Cantarr Bi Romou and one was owned by the outlaw tech Arach Raynor. Hidden at his base on Wennicas, the Sunwing was an 8 metre long fighter with an x3 hyperdrive multiplier. Sleek and manoeuvrable, the Sunwing was a deft atmospheric fighter.

Sabre - Cover name for Nias Derril’s starship the Freedom Flyer. A small, cramped vehicle with limited bunk space but powerful shields, the Sabre/Flyer saw him through many close encounters.

Sabre One - A J-Series X-Wing modification of a nine-year-old design, up rated shields, scanners and manoeuvrability give Blake De’Athe’s ship the edge that the Jedi needs. The twin-seated design means that the latest micro miniature technology is used for weapons. Consequently, the four heavy lasers have a slower recharge time than a standard X-wing, but are more powerful when they hit. Two metres longer, and with a wing span three metres wider; these craft are easily distinguishable from the standard X-wing design.

Salern - Berell Industries Stock Light Freighter currently owned by the old smuggler Ocern Gabe. Spacious and swift, the Salern is a medium load freighter with a kick to match and a ramp that impressed the Rampologist Grin.

Salura Star – Legendary starship fabled throughout the Setnin Sector. Piloted by the revered pilot Chatroot, and crewed by his group the Howlrunners, the Salura Star appeared infrequently in the sector, over a period of many centuries. The ship lay buried beneath the sands of the planet Clayboss for almost thirteen centuries until it was uncovered by a research team and soon after the smuggler Jan Lomona and Goah Galletti.

Scavenger – Owned by the junker Arach Raynor, this vessel was equipped with a powerful tractor beam emitter, useful for hauling junk and scavenging pieces of destroyed ships from space.

Scourge - Imperial landing craft used to land on Junduk IV, which was occupied by Grand Moff Galgen.

Scrapheap - Cover name given to the Berone Sunrise for her approach and landing on Abrogard. Her captain, Jan Lomona, was less than impressed.

Screaming Moonbeam - This passenger freighter ferried a band of paying customers to the archaeological base on Kemnan IV. Captained by Boro Jakira and Co-piloted by Affin Croom, the passengers were Omin Kaball, Horsh and Kirry Gilgowen, Jutt Jerra, Shee and Hengam.

Screaming Sun – Starship owned by the Galletti family whilst they lived on the planet Trefnare. Usually used by their eldest son Hindley the Screaming Sun was basically a family starship with no weapons, minimal shielding and an x4 hyperdrive.

Senator Class Frigates - Large and broad vessels which travel through the many lanes of the Setnin Sector carrying any and every type of cargo. Usually used by reputable firms these ships carry many weapons - hence their designation as frigate. Similar in shape and configuration to their slightly larger cousins the Administrator Class, these ships also carried dignitaries in comfort and safety.

Setnin Legacy - At 255 metres long this YT-701 Cruiser is by no means small. However, she is able to rapidly rotate around her own axis and manoeuvres like a much small ship. Her main cargo bay was expanded to become a launch bay and thanks to a bit of well planned design, can hold a medium-sized freighter, up to seventy metres in length, and six other fighter scale craft. Two powerful tractor beams, one internal, can be used to manoeuvre or retain small craft. With a total of five quad turbo laser batteries, twin proton torpedo launchers, enhanced shielding, ablative armour and a point seven five hyperspace drive, she is a formidable combat ship. Thanks to the attachment of a new command section, room was freed up internally to create comfortable living quarters, meditation and training rooms for its crew of twenty-four Jedi. Four medium sized staterooms are available for guests. Six months worth of consumables are stored onboard as well as a cache of spare armour plate. Eight Astromech droids are kept onboard to do running repairs.

Setnin Star - A rare fully working, fully specified Mandalorian Dragon Attack Craft, and one of only 100 ever made to this specification.  The vehicle originally belonged to Tarr Ranth before eventually falling into the hands of his cloned progenitor Tar Ranth.  The Setnin Star was stolen from under the nose of Ranth by pirate raiders and taken to Hoth, where the clone Jedi tracked it down with the assistance of Ryath Centaur.

Shadow of the Phoenix - Once owned by Hindley Galletti, later owned by the load lifter-turned-assassin Goah Galletti and his son Draite Galletti, this was a powerfully built Desando Dynamics AM-26 Heavy Freighter. At 45.3 meters long and able to hold 80 metric tonnes, the Phoenix was more than spacious enough for the uses of its owner. Her x3/4 multiplier took Galletti to his destinations at speed, and her forward light laser, triple laser cannon, small laser cannon, concussion bomb system and anti-personnel Blaster protected her pilot and co-pilots from harm. Eventually sold on, the Phoenix survived an unsuccessful attempt at a ditch in the Amagadian bay by her owner.

The Slingshot 27 boasted a full defence package, Hotflare countermeasures and Spinner decoys. Three twenty millimetre pulse cannons, two fire-and-forgets, one Seeker proton launcher, Top-Charge electromagnetic shield, and quad Vodiplex ion engines. A powerful vessel.

Spice Transport Vehicle - Class of ship not advertised by always built by any and every ship builder in the Mid-Rim. With most of their cargo capacity concealed, these ships filled the lanes, going about their business.

S.S.C Setnin Revenge - Stealth Super Carrier, Capital Ship Class. Exactly 700 Metres long and three hundred metres wide, with Stealth Shields and Stealth Armour, this ship can shield its energy emissions and reduce its sensor echo to show a ship of only fifty metres in size. Able to carry fifty modified Preybird class fighters in one launch bay and fifty modified SJ-Series X-Wings in the other, this ship is a formidable opponent in any battle. Undetectable up to two clicks from its intended target, this ship and its fighters are painted matt black to reduce their visual signatures. Backed up by ten quad turbo lasers, eight proton launchers, five ion batteries, four tractor arrays and massively enhanced, multi layered, 360 degree shielding, this is a match for most heavy cruisers and Star Destroyers. Combining 1 x hyperspace multiplier with powerful sub-light engines, this ship can get most places fast.

Star Ferry Elysium - The vessel upon which the bounty hunter Jedi Tar Ranth found himself near the climax of the Ki-Ki/Setnin War.  Over six hundred metres long with zero-g compartments for passenger comfort, this Zelon Shipyard built behemoth was hijacked and boarded by raiders who made off with Ranths precious cargo - his grandfathers Mandalorian Dragon Attack Craft, one of only 100 built to that specification.

Star of Tessann - Star cruiser owned by the ganglord Geon Tasar.

Star Swarm - Formally Luschia Arkensaws starship, this modified private space yacht was a capable vehicle. Needing only a crew of 1 and able to carry 4 passengers, the Star Swarm was fantastically fast, with an x 1/2 multiplier. Sleek and smooth, the Star Swarm soon became the envy of many other interstellar pilots in and around the Setnin Sector until its destruction whilst parked at a star port.

Stars End - Corellian Corvette attached to the Victory Class Star Destroyers, which attacked the Chancai Trade Centre under the command of Glann Cipple and Arcc Nedeen.

Steel Wing - VTA-seven class shuttle used by Gern Omik after his escape from a station in an unknown region outside the Setnin Sector where he betrayed a rebel cell to the Empire. Known as Veeta, the computer of the Steel Wing had an electronic neural net, enabling the ship to communicate like a sentient being. After discovering that her passenger was Omik, the man she had intercepted transmissions of communicating with Imperial Captain Shreems, Veeta tried to kill Omik but failed in her attempt and self-destructed. The computer system was developed in the Ki-Ki Sector.

Sunrider - Captained by the alien smuggler Rondosarn, this 21.7-meter long cargo shuttle was a capable, if battered starfighter. See also:  Sunrider profile

Sword of Justice – Victory Class Star Destroyer utilised by Commander Brotus and Dagger during the Ki-Ki invasion of Setnin and the taking of the Chancai Trade Centre. The Sword was heavily damaged after the Setnin Super Carrier Intrepid almost collided with it, allowing people fleeing the Chancai invasion to escape out of the system.
