- Weapon systems slaved to pilot console for automated use from cockpit.
- Robust sensor/anti-sensor suite allows for improved sensor collection and avoidance.
- SubLight Acceleration Motor (SLAM) modification allows for extreme speed boost when activated.
- High energy requirement for military systems and components result in average shielding in favor of offensive capability.
- Modified hyperdrive can be prone to malfunction, requiring immediate repairs to function at fastest speed.
- Modified hyperdrive is still susceptible to interdiction effects.
- Sensor avoidance systems not infallible when being scanned by larger vessels in close proximity, requiring distance to be effective.
- SubLight Acceleration Motor (SLAM) modification completely drains laser weaponry energy while in use.
- Some systems or components could be considered illegal, dependent on sector authority.
The Fortuna Star is a heavily modified YT-2400 freighter made for luxury and smuggling. Under the ownership of Captain Chance Bonaventure, the vessel boasts military upgrades over civilian standards, as well as numerous customized systems. The hyperdrives have impressive speeds and the hull has numerous compartments for storing goods and wares, complete with sensor baffling technologies and a personal cape room. The ships engines, weapons and targeting suite have been upgraded to military specifications, including a automated slave system that allows Chance to control the turrets from the cockpit. The outer hull has been reinforced and is further protected by a standard deflector shield.
Given Chance has no skill with mechanics, the Star was modified by sentient's with the appropriate degree of ability, and as such the complex systems are beyond the owner's capacity to understand. Due to the nature of the ship, it has a lot of energy requirements, as well as sub-systems within sub-systems from his modifications. This can result in malfunctions, especially with the strain on the main hyperdrive to reach such impressive speeds, which can struggle, requiring Chance to have people or droids perform rapid repairs. Additionally, he must maintain the ship regularly through contracting to avoid weapon or defense system failures. There's also additional cost involved with less-than-standard systems, landing the smuggler higher costs for replacement parts and less open market availability overall.
Still, the Star boasts impressive smuggling capabilities, sensors and armaments; and, considering how dangerous the smuggler's game can be, Chance is more than happy with his modified freighter... for now.
