SPECIAL FEATURES
Cockpit: Navigations, main communications, flight control, main system controls are here, the cockpit has room for four people, the pilot, co-pilot, navigations and communications.
Medbay: Two medical personnel can work here, there’s room for two beds and one bacta tank should the need arise for it.
Cargo Hold: Extensive cargo storage for whatever it is the Knight should need or want to haul around with them.
Workshop: Between the hangar and cargo hold you’ll find a workshop complete with benches, shelves and tools so that those aboard can craft, modify or repair arms and armor. It’s just wide enough to allow a track through to move the drop pods/swoops.
Repair Bay: Where the drop pods and swoop bikes are repaired it sits in the cargo hold with a track to help move the drop pods.
Cabins: Four to a room, there are three cabins with two that are conjoined by a shared latrine.
Kitchenette: While not a large galley, the kitchenette should serve the appropriate function it is designed for.
Captain’s Cabin: Large enough to fit the Captain, along with one companion should the Captain chose to do so. It comes standard with a desk, and built in latrine.
Armoury: Essential to every Mandalorian are their weapons and armour and within the Auli’i you will find a place to store them.
Holotable: The main meeting area and thru traffic center of the ship.
Gunner’s Nests: Located around the ship, this is where gunners would sit and manually operate the ship’s weapons.
Engine Room: This is where the Auli'i type's engines are housed, it's also where the bulk of her tricks (control systems) are located.
Lower Hangar: Houses the four swoop bikes and also houses a set of lockers and cargo containers for storage.
Upper Hangar: The lower hangar has another set of stairs that leads toward the Upper Hangar, where the drop pods are launched from.

Strengths:
[+] Crafty, Sheila: The Auli’i has a variety of tricks of up her sleeves, and a strong hull to keep her going through a fight.
[-] Magpies: A lack of warheads and ion weaponry means that the Auli’i is susceptible to large capital ships as well as smaller attack craft that can out manoeuvre her.
[-] A Roo’s Bag: She’s slower than she looks, speed and manoeuvrability are not on her side, meaning whatever the Auli’i is looking to do, she needs to do fast and move.
After arriving on Bespin, Amaya Verd sat down with [member="Ashin Karrde"] and a set of lawyers, geneticist and whoever else needed to be there at the meeting. The meeting to confirm and solidify her place as the Heir to House Cardei, the daughter of Lady Ajira Cardei. Access to Theed Hangar and a seat with the Naboo Court. More importantly this also meant access to her inheritance. Lady Ajira Cardei bequeathed to her daughter an obscene amount of money that would be overseen by a trust until her daughter reached the age of twenty-one. Amaya was twenty-two when this was read and given to her.
She used part of this money to fund HVHAR. HVHAR ran and operated by Amaya and a handful of Clan Verd worked to mass produce the Auli’i based off her own redesign of the D5 Mantis patrol craft from over millennia. Amaya created her Auli’i Mantis from salvage she found while growing up and living on Taris. Once she and Ashin had concluded business on Bespin. Amaya returned home to Onderon where she began working on what initially started as a refit to the Auli’i and snowballed into a mass-produced dual roled, gunship and dropship for the Mando’ade as provided by HVHAR.
