- Living Quarters - The vessel is now capable of long haul cargo runs thanks to a living module modification.
- Sneaky Cargo - Several Cargo Pods have been permanently altered to be starfighter capable, though they are immensely slow to deploy.
- Noticeable - The custom paint job and addition of self defense assault laser cannons make this cargo vessel stand out.
- Not for Combat - Though it has a modest turret mounted laser cannon spread, it is by no means for combat purposes.
- Curfew - Unless orders to clear out are given, the starfighters are not leaving their assigned cargo pods.
- Noticeable - The custom paint job and addition of self defense assault laser cannons make this cargo vessel stand out from a standard civilian cargo hauler.

Found, purchased, and repurposed in a series of scrapyards, Zivos had the dubious job of refitting one of the famed GR-75 medium transports to a more compelling use. Using a myriad of scrapped pieces found across the yards, and also adding a few post-build to finalize the build, he felt he came out on top.
Ripping engines from a Mon-Cal frigate and utilizing them with a refurbished fusion generator, he was able to achieve higher than average speeds for the Medium Transport vessel. A number of Attitude Thrusters were salvaged from smaller starfighters and corvettes from around the scrapyards as well to achieve a more nimble version of the cargo hauler. Further modifications of the engines and generator systems enhanced the engine output via turbo impellers and turbo generators.
An old hyperdrive was ripped from a crumbling Devarionian designed vessel, giving it a more modular hyperdrive capability. While not boasting a large sensor system, the bounty hunter knows how to operate what is available to the best of his ability. The addition of several magnetic cargo handling systems added to the quick cargo yard capabilities of the vessel, allowing for speedy load and unloading from the pilot. Strategically placed Optical transducer panels give him a great view while unloading, and also clear field of vision for self defense purposes in case of the worst.
Modifying several existing cargo pods, Zivos was able to create starfighter capable holds that were well inside the protective layering of cargo space. While not able to quickly deploy, they could certainly be useful for smuggling people around. Using life support systems snagged out of starfighters due for scrapping, these same pods are capable of being locked down and sustaining internal life support systems. Whether containing stowed starfighter pilots, or potential bounties, only a thorough investigation of every cargo pod can tell.
Several droid brain assistants were slaved to the vessel to allow for single person operation of the vessel. The command pod was the largest modification to the ship however. Originally capable of holding a modest crew of seven, the command section is now a living module constructed atop the rear section of the vessel with dedicated internal life support systems set to standard ubese living conditions. Slapped with a fresh coat of paint, the majority of the hull is painted with a dusty gray while the main reactor cowls, secondary drive engines, and weapon turrets, are painted with podracer red for a flashy finish.
