DESCRIPTION
Aerarii Tithe, like all Aargauuns, knows the importance of careful investments. While his business dealings and corporate interests span the known galaxy, Tithe always makes sure to invest in his most important asset - himself.
Profits wait for no one. In order to seize every opportunity presented to him, Tithe needs a trusty vessel that can carry him safely between the stars faster than his competitors. Using kickbacks from his Senatorial dealings with Arkania and Aphran, he commissioned the Republic Engineering Corporation to design and built a start-of-the-art shuttle able to keep up with the demands of his busy working life. The yacht was christened Fiduciary in accordance with the Aargauun tradition of naming possessions after financial terms for good luck and prosperity.
Owing to his position as the Vice Chancellor of the Galactic Alliance and a successful businessbeing (not to mention a traitor to the Sith Empire with a bounty on his head!), Tithe’s first and foremost request was that Fiduciary is capable of defending itself. The REC engineers did not disappoint - the four-pronged approach of shields, hull, active and passive countermeasures is designed to keep enemy threats at bay and protect the lives of those aboard the yacht.
When a thick shell isn’t enough - and unable to rely on its pair of medium laser cannons - the yacht draws upon its next biggest strengths: speed and maneuverability. Experimental engines paired with oversized reactors and extensive control surfaces and thrusters send the Fiduciary tearing across the galaxy, be it through deep space or lower atmospheres.
Despite the yacht’s incredible speed, Tithe still loathes moments not devoted to the pursuit of wealth. As such, Fiduciary is outfitted with a well-appointed executive suite featuring all the requisite technologies for transacting business and monitoring markets. Many a profitable deal with colleagues and investors from all across the galaxy have been made within the confines of the yacht while hurtling between appointments.

STRENGTHS
- Extensive active and passive defence systems provide robust protection to crew and passengers
- High-performance ion engines powered by a miniature hypermatter annihilator reactor give the shuttle impressive speed even against similar-sized vessels
WEAKNESSES
- Carries significantly fewer weapons than other shuttles
- Numerous specialised system required a dedicated support crew and service area, equivalent to that used for an entire starfighter squadron
- Massive power requirements of the specialised systems combined with the limited room for power generation means not all systems can be engaged at once - the pilot must pick and choose
- Limited cargo space due to specialised systems taking up extensive internal space
