STRENGTHS

• Force crystal allows for heightened battle meditation from the chamber that it's stored within.
• High defences.
• Large hangar space.
• Being made from a hollowed out asteroid, the vessel can be confusing in combat. It may be unclear to the naked eye where the top and bottom of the vessel is, causing disorientation.
• The vessel, being constructed in out of an asteroid, can blend in well with space debrees when the internal systems are shut down.
• Highly manuverable.
• Sensor jamming capability.
• Hidden from mass detectors.
• Cloaking Device helps mask more industrial parts of the asteroid.
• High defenses makes ramming other vessels a very viable strategy.

WEAKNESSES

• Slower due to the outer shell being constructed from a hollowed out asteroid.
• Force-nullifying tech may dampen the or completely stop the effects of the force crystral.
• On board sensor jammer is indiscriminate, confusing friend and foe alike.

DESCRIPTION

The Grafted into Stone is a capital ship built into the heart of an asteroid by Krinemonen Hydraworks. The vessel would be provided to Jasper Kai'el as a long-owed favor to be used as the mobile base of operations for his newly formed Jedi Outcasts. Jasper chose to use the naming conventions utilized by Corellian warships, vessels he was fond of as a boy. The Grafted into Stone is intended to be a mobile base of operations, a defensive capital ship, and a pseudo-Jedi Temple all wrapped up into one lump of space rock. It is designed for long-term habitation, as the vessel intends to start a long-term journey across the stars that sees it face off against the greatest evils in the galaxy. It began construction in 902 ABY after the Planeshift and was completed in 904 ABY two years later, constructed far from prying eyes on Krinemonen III. When not in service, the Grafted into Stone remains in orbit above Refuge.

POINTS OF INTEREST

• Halls of Calix: This is the primary temple space, named after the fallen Jedi padawan Calix of Thyrsus, who lost his life in the Second Great Hyperspace War. These spaces are modest, a small collection of chambers centered around a larger circular one that houses the vessel's Force Crystal. These smaller rooms total to eight. Two are training/dojo rooms, two are gardens for meditation, two are forges for lightsaber repairs, one is a facility for Jedi healers, and one is a meeting room for leadership to gather. These spaces are modest, using the asteroid stone as the primary walls of the space that gives it an earthy feel.
• Greenhouse: A space aboard the vessel dedicated to growing produce, which is then used as the primary means of food for those aboard the Grafted into Stone.
• Barracks: Primary dwelling space aboard the vessel. These rooms are modest in size, more utilitarian, but offer some space for personal belongings.
• Mess Hall: The place where food is prepared and served to the crew. It is good quality, which may provide an extra little bit of morale to a tired Jedi after a long day.
• Bridge: The command center of the entire vessel.
