[+]Derelict: The Bloodhaven as it is now known is a ship that for all intense and purposes should not function. There are massive holes within it's hull, huge gaps within it's armor, and flickers within it's shields. Patches of the vessel are entirely missing, viewports are smashed and broken, the inside halls of the ship are smashed and often cracked. The ship from the outside in appears as nothing more than a broken mass of wreckage, a lump of junk that has somehow found the ability to fly once more. The Bloodhaven appears as neither home nor heart, instead simply lumbering through the galaxy and somehow surviving. The ship, despite its appearance, is capable of taking and absorbing quite a bit of damage, somehow limping along despite hundreds of turbo-laser strikes, dozens of missile impacts, and perhaps hundreds of boarding parties that have passed through its halls.
[+]Cloaking Device: At it's core design The Bloodhaven was designed as a stealth ship. It's originally purpose was as a strike vessel against the Old Republic in the ancient Galactic War. To aid in this The Bloodhaven, then The Reaver was equipped with a special one of a kind cloaking device designed off of the system created for the X-70B Phantom-Class. This claoking device spreads over the entirety of the vessel, cutting it's sensor emissions, it's reactor traces, and everything that would give away the ships position*. This cloaking device is extremely efficient, activating within only seconds of being brought online and functioning to hide The Bloodhaven to near perfection, equaling that of a modern day stygium cloaking device.. Aellin later added a Gravitic Modulator to even further enhance the ships Stealth Capability.
[+/-]Darkside Nexus: Due to it's unfortunate fate, The Bloodhaven became a graveyard for hundreds, eventually thousands of people**. This darkside nexus permeates throughout the entirety of The Bloodhaven clinging to every wall, every floor, every ceiling, every single inch of space within the ship. There is a sense of dread and foreboding within the vessel itself, holding to the same tenants as any other Darkside Nexus. Those powerful within the darkside will feel stronger and more empowered within the halls of the ship, those who call to the light will feel ill at ease and perhaps even slightly sick. Ordinary folk who wander the halls of The Bloodhaven will be quicker to anger, more easily corrupted, and find themselves often forgetting those whom they care for the most. The Darkside Nexus that is contained within The Bloodhaven is the one thing that it's cloaking device is unable to hide. Though it is not enough to give away the ships exact position, the Nexus is enough to give force users a sense of foreboding darkness as The Bloodhaven draws near, allowing someone to "sense" if the ship is coming or not. Though again, this is just a general feeling.
[-]Cracked Reactor: Though Normally hidden by it's cloaking device, when not active The Bloodhaven does have the unfortunate happening of a cracked reactor core. For multiple reasons this is extremely dangerous, the least among them being the constant surge of radiation pouring from the ship. What does this mean? It means that those who reside for too long aboard The Bloodhaven will likely eventually fall ill to Radiation poisoning, sickness, and eventually death(unless they are somehow shielded or otherwise kept healthy). It also means that when it's cloaking device is not active The Bloodhaven appears on every sensor system this side of the galaxy, easily traceable and even more easily targeted by most starships.
[-]Broken Hull: Perhaps not it's greatest weakness due to it's ability to somehow survive most impacts, The Bloodhaven however does suffer from massive gaps within it's hull. These gaps provide excellent opportunity to slip into the ship, allowing boarding parties, missiles, droids, pretty much anything to enter the vessel once it's shields have been brought down. Creatively, Jedi, or perhaps even Sith, who seek to confront those aboard could be more than capable of using these massive gaps of hull to come after those inside.
Description:
The Bloodhaven began it's life as a concept millenia before Aellin Tedronai was even a thought, before his parents were even an idea, and before the current state of the galaxy was even thought of as possible. The ship that would become The Bloodhaven was an experimental idea crafted by Darth Malgus of the Sith Empire.
At the time, The Sith Empire was greatly expanding it's reach within the galaxy. There was a ceasfire with the Republic, the war had stalled out, and many Sith Lords sought to consolidate their power and hold their own strength together. These strengths were often put into the physical plane as great war machines, massive projects and technological races in order to create more powerful technologies that would break the balance of the ceasefire and bring victory to the Empire. Many of these projects such as The Silencer were stopped before they could ever truly be used, either by the Republic or by the interference of another Sith Lord that sought to stop the development of one of his peers.
These occurrences were not infrequent within the Empire, and more often than not these grand projects that cost so much money and such great amount of time were never actually brought to fruition. The ship that would become known as The Bloodhaven was one of these very same projects, initiated by Darth Malgus and doomed to fail due to the own greed and lust for power that was held within the Sith Empire's own councils.
The Bloodhaven began it's life in the driveyards of Taerib Starship Manufacturers The very same people that built the Empire's massive fleet of Harrower-Class Dreadnoughts. The Ship was designed as somewhat of a miniature version of the Harrower, a class of vessels that would lead the invasion of a planet not through brute force, but utter surprise. The concept was a simple one, create a cloaking device so utterly foolproof the Republic could not detect it. TSM worked for months under the guidance of Malgus' chosen representative, a woman known as Darth Malexia. Malexia oversaw the project every step of the way, working with those who designed the ship and eventually bringing the project to fruition.
The first and only Harrowing-Class Stealth Dreadnought was born.
Not the most heavily armed vessel, and certainly not the most well equipped, the Harrowing was instead designed to fulfill it's main purpose, as a stealth initiator to a later larger invasion force. This first ship was entitled The Reaver and was brought out of the driveyards by Malexia. Of course, being a Sith, Darth Malexia had no design to actually allow the Harrowing-Class to be used for it's true purpose, at least not the one designated by Malgus himself. Instead Malexia intended to use the vessel for her own purposes.
As is so often the case however, and as the story is told, Darth Malexia failed within her venture. Thought the how of it is not known, and the why is murky at best, The Reaver was eventually brought to the Junkyard world of Raxus Prime, here ti faced opposition of a fleet loyal to Darth Malgus during his attempted coup of the Sith Emperor. The vessel fought with surprising diligence, utilizing it's stealth system to fall in and out of combat, striking at the rear of the enemy and going on hit and run attacks. Eventually Malexia realized that the meager strength of her fleet was not enough, and as Sith were want to do, called upon the powers of the darkside.
In a ritual that was a stark and mortal reminder of what the Sith Emperor did over Dromund Kaas, Malexia used the darkside of the force to pull the collective strength of her fleets crew to herself. Using a twist of the force the Ancient Sith Lord consumed those who had come to trust her, absorbing them and relinquishing their strength unto herself.
She tried to use this power to lash out, to strike at the loyalists of Malgus, but was found lacking. Her own power collapsed in on itself, unable to control the strength that she had taken Malexia failed in her attempt. With a rush of energy and a surge of strength the ancient Sith Lord simply...popped. The power that she had taken was released, explosions carrying through The Reaver and sending it tumbling to the surface of Raxus Prime.
With the enemy defeated and the weapon destroyed, Malgus' loyalist fleet simply left, taking anything from Malexia's remaining fleet that they could and simply abandoning the rest to it's fate upon the junkyard world. It was here that The Reaver was left, for millenia upon millenia it simply sat, a hulking rusted mass upon the surface of Raxus Prime. Over the eons it became buried, more and more junk falling atop it, one of the great acid lakes growing upon it until eventually what had once been meant as a weapon to break the spine of The Republic became little more than a forgotten relic told as a story to those Sith Lords that knew of it.
Eventually, perhaps as a rule of fate, one of Malexia's descendants was told the story of The Reaver and the fate of his long lost ancestor.
This descendant was none other than Aellin Tedronai.
Taking the story to heart, and finding some truth within it, Aellin began to search for the vessel that had once been his ancestors ticket to power. He scoured the galaxy for any hint of the ship, looking through ancient archives, digging through the holdings of Dromund Kaas, and eventually finding what he needed. After months of looking, years of longing, Aellin stumbled upon The Reaver. Though it took him months to dig to it, years to even properly find, Aellin eventually managed to unearth the broken husk of The Reaver.
Along with his Servant, Asha Hex, as well as a cadre of droids, Aellin slowly set to work in repairing The Reaver. Over the course of two years they managed to put the ship back into working order. Repairing it's engines somewhat, replicating it's ancient systems, recrafting it's important systems until eventually the ship, either through a torrent of luck, or the influence of the darkside itself was once again space worthy. Through a monumental undertaking Aellin and Asha began to raise the ship from the surface of Raxus, utilizing it's own powerful engines, repulsor generators, and a touch of the darkside nexus contained within the walls of the ship itself.
Rechristened as The Bloodhaven, the ship tore itself from the underside of Raxus Prime, breaching the planets atmosphere and joining many thousands of starships within the ethos of space, this time as a home for Aellin Tedronai.
