TiCira D'Arr Hawk
Singing Mountain Clan
Intent: To finally put in a tech sub Ti'Cira's custom firespray she'd modified throughout the past decade, from the time she joined the Rebellion through her time in the Jedi Order, after a moondropping, and finally the transfer over to this board which has her lending out the aircraft to the rest of the crew on the Knight's Helm. It originally provided a long distance ship for her and for her three droids; heavily modulated, it had served as a home and a method to travel the galaxy.And I'll be completely and utterly honest, at the conception of the Shadow Phoenix, it's intended stats were to gradually be based off the stock version and the Slave I up to a degree, so I'm providing those stats here too for ease of convenience to look over as well.

Description:
Originally as a prisoner transport, the Shadow Phoenix originally featured numerous holding cells and devices made for the most exotic of creatures. A trademark of the ship was that it landed horizontally with the drive engines facing the surface and the cockpit facing upward. To transition to normal flight mode, the ship rotated so that the cockpit faced forward while the drive engines faced rearward.
The original stock ship was well armed and armored for its size, with on-board storage space and room for several passengers and/or cargo. It originally held enough room four prisoners and two guards, as it had originally been a patrol craft and law enforcement vessel. TiCi gutted all but one prison cell (fitted to be able to contain Force Users securely), giving her more cargo capacity to retrofit the Phoenix for long distance traveling, raising it from one month consumables to two. It also allowed her to relocate the lounge area by the auto chef and added a crew quarter for herself, that while spartan in nature, provided a comfortable space for her and one more passenger should it be required, complete with a fold out full-sized bed and a lounge seat that folded out into a small cot in the common area.
Her one real luxury was the addition and expansion to the current refresher system, in which a sanisteam and a conventional water based shower was added to the current sonicshower design, having a small 120liter water tank stored for economical rare use of the waterbased shower. She also added a unique stabilization system which always kept the cockpit oriented "up".
During her time in the rebellion, she soon rose in ranks to become the leader of a SpecOps Rebel Cell dubbed the "Sith Slayer Cell", a Rebel sponsored SpecOps program that trained Force Users and soldiers to combat the Imperials and hunt down the most dangerous Sith Force Users in the galaxy for neutralization. Numerous successful campaigns and missions provided additional monetary incentives, allowing her to earn a modest amount of money to purchase two mining facilities for raw RU production and a share of business interest, which resulted in an additional 50k a month, for a total of 100k per month.
This lead to an increase in funds as she would ship her ore to allied refining facilities to gain extra credits. The shipping and selling process of such trade allowed her to purchase one Action V transport and one Bulk Freighter, the Naeaah'arrk and the Horizon, allowing her to maximize her RU shipping to again gain an increase in profit, for a total of 618 RU's ( at 500credits per RU) that awarded her 309k per successful shipment.
This allowed her to use Rebellion resources and her to fund and amp up her armaments, adding an ion canon, minelayer with standard Void-7 seismic charges and countermeasures ( as she normally flew into Imperial territory, as the leader of the Sithslayers, she spent the majority of her time hunting down Sith and to avoid being detained as she had a bounty on her head -- one that only became a bigger reason to remain hidden after the moondropping incident.) to include a cloaking device via the use of stigygium crystals generated cloaking fields that completely absorbed all incoming sensor scans while shielding the host ship's emissions and reflected energy, thus rendering the starship invisible to both sensors and the naked eye,and also an advanced long-range sensor suite, complete with port and starboard visual scanners.
A stolen sensor masking and jamming array made the ship invisible to sensors, and had jamming devices, sensor decoys and false transponder codes, which allowed the ship to slip through defenses without revealing who her true owner is. A decoy system was used by starships to give off a false sensor reading, making the scanners believe the ship was a different size. Many of the systems on board were voice-activated. When piloting the craft, system data was displayed on unobtrusive holograms synced to a retinal tracker, which positioned these readouts just outside the pilot's forward line of sight.
Originally it was roughly as fast as Koensayr's Y-wing starfighter/bomber, the ship had more than enough speed and maneuverability to intercept smugglers and other renegades. Upgrades to powerful Kuat drive engines and power generators gave the Phoenix a class 3 sub-light maneuverability. She also added slave circuits as a mechanism that allowed for remote control of a vehicle's system while using a communications device, making it in all essence slave rigged to her comm, or more recently, to the Red Blade's ocular cybernetic eyepatch.
After the moondropping incident, Phoenix was used by @Ryori Holloway and maintained up to date up until a year and a half ago, when the Phoenix was returned to Ti'Cira after having it be revealed to Jedi Master Holloway that Ti'Cira is actually alive. Since then, there have been more upgrades, to include special dummy proton torpedoes mounted with homing beacons and S-thread trackers. By tagging a ship with one of these beacons, @Skye Mertaal could then utilize her contraband HoloNet transceiver to track ships through hyperspace. Most of these weapons were hidden beneath the hull; the armor plating would slide away during the ship's attacks. The ship was also outfitted with a sensor array that could detect minute changes in the ship's mass, which could be used to find homing beacons.
Due to Ti'Cira's ship arrest in @Jonathon Patches's ship, the Shadow Phoenix has now become the vessel used by the Red Blade, aka Skye Mertaal, for her bounty hunting missions when they take her away from the Knight's Helm. She has modified it to suit her needs for bounty hunting, making the most out of the previous upgrades for her trade.
