Roman Nicholas
Character
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION:
ADVANCED SYSTEMS:
* Salvaged Military Inertial Dampeners: High-grade dampener coils recovered from a CDF starfighter wreck. Custom-spliced into the freighter's power matrix, they allow Roman to pull exceptionally sharp, starfighter-like evasive maneuvers without the crushing G-forces injuring the pilot.
* Retractable Weapon Mounts: The single dual laser cannon is built onto a motorized, hydraulic recess lift. When not in combat, the weapons fold flat and retract beneath flush, rusted hull plates, making the freighter look completely unarmed and harmless to passing CorSec customs sweeps.
STRENGTHS:
* Highly Survivable: With a High defense rating, the ship can shrug off standard pirate or local security laser fire while preparing to escape.
* Deceptive Maneuverability: Despite its rusted, junker appearance, its vector thrusters and exceptional inertial dampeners let it dance around bulkier, slower transports.
WEAKNESSES:
* Low Firepower: Lacks the heavy offensive weapons to win an active dogfight. It is built to run and survive, not to hunt.
* Maintenance Nightmare: Built entirely from mismatched salvage, civilian and military-grade wiring, and salvaged military components that were never designed to work together. This structural incompatibility causes frequent power surges and component failures, requiring Roman to perform hours of grueling, hands-on repairs after every single high-speed flight or hyperspace jump just to keep the vessel operational.
DESCRIPTION:
Built entirely within Sector 4 Docks of Coronet City, this unique 40-meter vessel was constructed by Roman Nicholas using the scrapped remnants of decommissioned bulk freighters. Designed specifically for freelance piloting and shadow logistics work under the table, the ship balances high survivability with strong maneuvering capabilities. Its interior contains custom retrofitted parts designed to store valuable, dangerous cargo out of sight of authorities.
Designed specifically for independent piloting, high-stakes smuggling, and shadow logistics work for the Corellian Exchange syndicate, the vessel prioritizes survival and evasion over open warfare. The ship's primary dual laser cannon is mounted on an advanced retractable hydraulic lift, allowing the weapons to fold completely flat beneath flush, rusted hull plates. This ensures the "Sleeper" looks like a harmless, heavily used civilian trade vessel to passing planetary scanners and CorSec customs sweeps. To aid in evasion, Roman custom-spliced high-grade military inertial dampeners recovered from a CDF starfighter wreck directly into the freighter's power matrix, giving it exceptionally responsive, starfighter-like maneuvering capabilities to dodge incoming fire. For cargo handling, the internal layout was heavily modified; Roman sacrificed standard, bulky cargo bays to build shielded Hidden Smuggling Compartments directly into the interior hull walls, capable of masking illegal contraband from standard custom scans.
- Intent: To create a highly customized, personal light freighter for Roman Nicholas, built from salvaged materials to serve as his primary vessel
