STRENGTHS

• Firepower: The MIN Night Reaver possesses considerable firepower for a vessel of its size, being equipped with numerous laser cannons, ordinance launchers and pintle mounted weapon emplacements
• Armored: The Night Reaver is considerably well defended for a vessel of its size, as it possesses both heavy armor plating and numerous on board countermeasures
• Transporter: The Night Reaver is capable of transporting up to eight heavily armed and armored soldiers to and from the battlefield
• Medevac: The Night Reaver comes equipped with a considerable amount of Medical Storage for treating injuries obtained in the field, though particularly serious or widespread injuries may still require the use of dedicated medical facilities to treat
• Electronic Warfare: Though it is not specifically designed for it, the Night Reaver does possess limited electronic warfare capabilities
• Automated: What would normally be a rather challenging ship to fly and operate is made much easier to use by the addition of an ATLAS Mk I High Efficiency AI Droid Core
• Stealth: The use of Reflec coating on the Night Reaver helps to hide it from scanners and sensor arrays

WEAKNESSES

• Heavy: The addition of extra weapons and equipment to the Night Reaver has made the ship much heavier than it was before, decreasing the number of potential areas where the ship might be able to land
• Sluggish: The Night Reaver is relatively slow and unmaneuverable for a vessel of its size. Though its speed and maneuverability can be temporarily increased, this comes at the cost of deceasing the ship's overall performance. In other words, if the ship activates AIMS, it will become far more maneuverable but much slower, and vice versa
• Door gunners: The Night Reaver's Side Mounted Gun Emplacements can only be operated in atmosphere. Using them in a vacuum risks the safety of all aboard unless they are wearing dedicated life support suits
• Wingtip lasers: The Night Reaver's four L-s9.3 laser cannons can only be effectively fired when the ship's S-foils are locked forward
• At all costs: The ship's onboard A.I system is designed to emphasize the success of its mission over the survival of those going on said mission. One might even say that the onboard A.I will not hesitate to eliminate those it deems a threat-wether they are hostiles or friendlies
• One of a kind: While the U-Wing is a relatively common ship throughout the galaxy, the modifications done to the Night Reaver ensure that it remains one a kind

DESCRIPTION

Like many of the starships in Mahporeem Imperial Remnant service, the MIN Night Reaver has a rather colorful and storied past associated with it. The ship originally began its life as the Peace Keeper, a customized UT-60D U-Wing Starfighter in service with House Arenais. At some point however, the ship fell into the hands of a certain Ithorian named Jerec Asyr, who subsequently sold the ship to Ronhar Tane and Salvage Team Six. Now armed with their new starship, Reclaimer Squad, the squadron to which the ship was assigned, began to modify it to suit their needs.

To help them achieve this, Reclaimer Squad decided to partner up with the N&Z Umbrella Corporation. The first thing that they did was repaint the entirety of the vessel, coloring it in Imperial Confederation livery and coating it in a thin layer of Reflec, to ensure that there wouldn't be any sort of friendly fire incidents. The N&Z Umbrella Corporation supplied Reclaimer Squad with a variety of starship components, including new engines, hyperdrive units, sensor arrays and electronic warfare systems. They also replaced the vessel's Transparisteel viewports with one made of Reinforced Quinta-Polycarbonite Lamellar Compound.

Next came the weapon upgrades. The stock Taim & Bak KX7 laser cannons were replaced with NZ LC-2A Laser cannons and four L-s9.3 laser cannons were placed within the vessel's wingtips. The rear blaster cannon was swapped out for an NZ ARD-1 Mono Type Point Defense System, and the proton torpedo launchers were replaced with M-g-2 general-purpose warhead launchers. Though the use of single tubed NZ RTL1 Launchers was proposed for use aboard the vessel, their size and weight made Reclaimer Squad ultimately go with the M-g-2 general-purpose warhead launchers. Finally, the ship's Side Mounted Gun Emplacements were modified to accept a variety of different weapons from both the Imperial Confederation and the N&Z Umbrella Corporation.

To finish the ship's modifications, an ATLAS Mk I High Efficiency AI Droid Core was installed in place of the ship's LK-EX1000 (Lexas) Executive Assistant Droid, and the Peace Keeper was rechristened into the Night Reaver. The end result was a powerful and versatile starship that could fulfill a variety of different roles and mission profiles, and it is likely the the Night Reaver will serve as the "base template" for future designs of this model of ship-models that can be sold by the N&Z Umbrella Corporation for a considerable profit margin.
