Strengths:
- Over 87 Illegal Upgrades: The Ghost has gone through many changes over the centuries, and while it has not retained all of it's alleged 87+ illegal upgrades, it still possesses a few that gives the freighter an edge in certain situations. It can potentially remain undetected on radar and sensory equipment for a limited time, and if need be, make a speedy getaway with it's modified engines.
- Efficiency: The Ghost requires a full crew in order to operate at maximum efficiency while in battle. The lack of one filled role on the freighter could make all the difference during a dogfight.
- Defenses: Most of the Ghost's defense lies in it's offense or stealth capabilities. While the detachable starfighter is a plus, it's weapons are not upgraded like it's predecessor, and does not possess a shield generator for itself. Even the Ghost's shield generator is only standard issue, unable to handle sustained fire from weaponry similar to it's own.
Though Tugoro had been a Jedi his entire life, there was no place more uncomfortable for him than a Jedi Temple. Unfortunately, the man did not last long among the order of the Republic Remnant, leaving months after a reunion with his long time friend, Kian Karr. He hoped not to be witness to another temple raid, at the hands of the merciless Sith and Imperial forces. Having worked alongside Strike Squadron since his youth, it felt only natural to rejoin them once again, docking his Aleph starfighter in the hangar of Strike Central, the main vessel of the small rebel cell.
Some ships stayed behind to defend the newly formed Republic, while Strike Central and the others aimed to aid in a different way. Traveling across the galaxy, the small collection of Corellian ships carried out multiple missions in the span of several months. They mainly performed supply runs, ferrying cargo and even passengers; Usually refugees of the many battles that constantly raged across the star-systems. Desiring a bit of independence, Tugoro sought to acquire a freighter of his own, something that would allow him to perform missions that otherwise could not be completed with only a single fighter.
Knowing of a small shipyard on Lothal, after his visit to the planet with his former apprentice, the Jedi was able to purchase an old VCX-100 light freighter. The shipyard owner didn't seem to know much about the freighter, other than it was still operational somehow. Paying a sum of fifty-thousand credits, Tugoro flew away with a lot more than he had bargained for.
THIS IS A CANON ITEM.
