The vessel was built around several small and medium sized decks, with the largest being the heavily modified cargo bay which could hold a single small snubfighter. This deck also held the small armory of weapons and equipment Davin used on a regular basis. Other decks were used for storage or crew of which there was usually none, but the Tal'kara could easily accommodate 5. There was a fully equipped medbay that while lacking a bacta tank did have two flexpoly bacta suits and a medical droid. A combat room and with several training droids of various types. The various weapon controls and turrets were on the deck directly below the cockpit level.
Built more like a mercenary gunship than a freighter, the Tal Ka'ra took a significant reduction in overall thruster output in exchange for some heavy armor and a weapons compliment that would make some corvettes blush. It didn't handle anything special, but its array of warhead launchers allowed for it to make up for its lack of maneuverability with cheeky tricks to get it out of tight spots. The armor was also also replaced with Mandalorian Steel, a stronger alternative armor to the standard durasteel. Here he lives with his companion Zip and his new Co-Pilot and droid partner Aran.
