Centuries ago, Neimoidian magnates commissioned Lucrehulk merchant supercruisers from Hoersch-Kessel Drive. When they needed a modern iteration, they contacted GT. The Acquisitor-class is three kilometers of pure capital investment, capable of running an interstellar business or persuading the average planet to sign what needs to be signed.
Thousands of droids support a modest crew of under two thousand supervisors, electronic technicians, subject matter experts, data analysts, executives, and the occasional economist. The cargo bays can hold, scan, decontaminate, and secure twenty million tons of anything under the suns. (That's 20% less than a Lucrehulk, but a Lucrehulk can't do what an Acquisitor does.)
Neimoidian and Skakoan executives bought several Acquisitors fresh out of the gate. To better accommodate their comfort (and the comfort of their business guests) GT installed the adaptive MVSE Chrysalis life support system throughout each Acquisitor.
