STRENGTHS

WEAKNESSES

• Flimsy: With an armoring of alloyplast to save on weight, most ship grade weapons can do some serious damage on a hit.
• Maintenance Nightmare: Even with her notes, the myriad of customizations and part-swaps Casaana has done make it a massive hassle for others to work on her craft beyond the simplest of things.

DESCRIPTION
Loving her Zephyr skyhopper, Casaana was devastated when it was destroyed during a pirate raid on the Kattada temple complex. Abandoning her beloved ship as a wreck on the beach bugged her to no end. So she resolved to rebuild the skyhopper into a proper fighter that’d service her well into her Jedi career. The little ship is freedom to her, representing the first time she could really go wherever she wanted without needing permission, travel plans, or orders. Because of that, the Zephyr will always hold a special significance to Casaana.

The largest change she made was to replace the turbothruster with a powerful fusial thrust engine capable of space flight. This pushed the already lightweight ship into the realm of interceptor speed, but now she had to power the new engine. With limited onboard space, Casaana turned to the A-Wing for inspiration. A Bpr fusion reactor solved her power issue, and an old GBk hyperdrive powers the little ship to supralight speeds, the small hyperdrive being a perfect fit for the tiny airframe. To travel in hyperspace, a navigational shield had to be installed, which prompted Casaana to also upgrade the deflector shields to the Phase III model that had once saved her life over Myrkr. And, while she didn’t ever want to go into combat, she squeezed in a better sensor system and a modern Phantom Short-Range Jammer just in case a fight came to her, or she had to really work to avoid one. Her last ‘fighter’ modification was to hide a single concussion missile launcher with its six-missile magazine behind one of the forward lights on the Zephyr. For the ship’s underslung ball-mounted heavy weapon, Casaana usually prefers to carry one of two FAE/SW beam cannons, one general purpose cannon with multiple fireing modes, while the second sacrifices the flexibility to hit much harder and at a much further range. The four wing-tip blaster cannons standard on the Zephyr remain unchanged other than the addition of an improved harmonizing system, the Jedi liking that they could be down-powered to stun shots, or hurl an impressive torrent of full-powered blasts.

Casaana made a few changes inside the cockpit too, adding air scrubbers and life support more suited for habitation in space rather than just the far reaches of a planet’s atmosphere and a small bolt-on climate control unit that could circulate warm or cool air through the cockpit, a luxury on longer flights when it decides to work. The Zephyr’s minimalist control consol was also expanded with additional multi function displays and analog switches for the added equipment and scanners. Alongside the synthleather saddle seat, to which she added extra padding and an adjustable back rest with improved crash webbing, she fabricated a locking weapons rack and a small stowage locker for personal belongings and other things she may want during an extended stint in the cockpit. In an exterior compartment, she keeps a camouflage net that can be spread over the craft when landed to prevent its discovery when landed in an unsafe local.
