Image Source: Zhangx, via DeviantART
Affiliation: Personal
Manufacturer: Corellian Engineering Corporation
Model: XR-95 Vector-class light freighter
Modularity: Highly customizable
Production: Unique
Material: Durasteel, transparisteel, the usual suspects
Classification: Light freighter

Length: 57 meters
Width: 25.6 meters
Height: 7.89 meters

Armament: 4 - On release, almost a decade ago, the Vector's blaster cannons, laser cannons, missile tubes, and ion cannons made it a formidable creature. However, Fabula hasn't upgraded them from stock or even replaced them with newer models. She removed the warhead launcher entirely, to make room for a backup shield generator. As a result the Pilgrim's guns are terribly outdated, and despite its payload it isn't exactly a heavy hitter. It can handle starfighters pretty well, but would be outmatched by any military-armed freighter.
- x1 quad laser cannon
- x2 laser cannons
- x2 ion cannons

Hangar: Enough cargo space for a couple of speeder bikes.

Special Features:
- Robust Shield System: The only real combat systems Fabula has kept up to date (and boy howdy has she ever) are the Pilgrim's shields. With a potent primary generator and a backup generator for when her main shield shorts out, the Bloody Pilgrim can take a licking from almost any ship its own size without much concern.
- Standard Trappings: Flight computer, medbay, escape pods, etc. It functions like a ship.
- Holonet Terminal: Fabula spends a ton of time alone in the far reaches of the galaxy. She enjoys maintaining contact with her family, and also likes watching travel documentaries. Ergo, holonet.
- Copious living space: The Pilgrim has functioned as Fabula's house for most of a decade, and it's been designed for habitability. It easily houses three adults in relative comfort, with a well-stocked kitchen and homey lounge.

Maneuverability Rating: 5
Speed Rating: 5
Hyperdrive Class: 1.25

Strengths: (Provide, in list format, a minimum of 1 strength of this submission.)
- Fantastic shields and rugged armor, can absolutely take a beating and keep flying

Weaknesses: (Provide, in list format, a minimum of 1 weaknesses of this submission.)
- Middling maneuverability and subpar offense, underwhelming in actual combat

Description: Almost ten years ago, Fabula Cavataio used a stipend from her mother's accounts to buy herself a ship. The XR-95 Vector wasn't exactly cutting edge even then, but the Bloody Pilgrim was a new ship when the young witchknight bought and christened it, so it had the advantage of youth and plenty of years ahead of it to find its niche. Fabula took her new prize and roamed the stars, finding her place among far-flung worlds and ludicrous dangers.

That was a decade ago. Fabula Caromed's Bloody Pilgrim is as iconic to her as her Lotek'k jacket. She goes nowhere without it, and since she tends to wander aimlessly throughout the hyperlanes, the ship has seen more of the Outer Rim than many career trailblazers. It's been to Felucia, Vendaxa, Metalorn, Elrood, Demonsgate, Christophsis, Mandalore, Coruscant, Taris, Tatooine, Hoth, the Wheel...and through all of that, it's stayed solid. Though she meets few friends (or even sentients) on her travels, Fabula has one constant companion.

The Pilgrim has a rugged and beaten-up look to it, even when compared to other members of its decades-old model. It's been patched and repaired time and again, mostly due to environmental stress or damage from wildlife attacks. The interior is a cozy, lived-in apartment with ion engines attached. She's long since converted the existing force cages, armory, and other systems designed for bounty hunters into living space. The old freighter sports a stocked kitchenette, two full cabins and one half-cabin, a spacious cargo hold, and a decadent (by Outer Rim standards) lounge complete with all of the amenities of a Coruscant condo.

As for actual armanents, the aging guns that came with the Pilgrim when Fabula first bought it have never been replaced or upgraded, and have seen little actual use. They're outdated and underwhelming by galactic standards, and Fabula's hardly a decent shot anyway. The hull and shields, on the other hand, are quite current. Rugged durasteel plating covers the Bloody Pilgrim in a patchwork pattern of different ages and colors, and the shields - both particle and deflector - are as close to top of the line as Fabula can afford on a part-time model's commission. Keeping her ship flying has always been her first priority, and for almost ten years she's accomplished it admirably.

The Bloody Pilgrim is as much a part of Fabula's family as her wife and daughter. A truly unique bucket of bolts and desh with its own "personality," it has a few endearing quirks but gets along well with its pilot/inhabitant. Fabs would be much more distraught if something were to happen to this ship than to her lightsaber.

Development Thread: Probably not
