Hangar: Unable to carry Fighters
Special Features:
- Target Marking and Identification program
A system accessible by it's Droid Pilot. It's viewscreen utilizes a HUD that links to the one in Cambry's helmet. Simple, modern face and item recognition technology is used. No different from the tech used by most security services. In fact, it was...kind of stolen from one. Corellian Sec found one of their cruisers a bit busted up, and their camera footage of the incident missing. - Communications Relay
A typical, slightly advanced Ship Comm Relay. Built into the Lassie after it's acquisition by Sprey. - Communications Scrambler
Stolen from a repair shop he worked at, and fitted into the Lassie. It's a bit testy, and when activated, usually gives his own communications a heck of a fizz. - Jury-Rigged Communications Interceptor
This thing only started working recently. He had received it for work when the Snivvian he was running parts for didn't want to pay him in Credits. Sold him the idea that this was more valuable. Either way, the cobbled-together technology is capable of doing simple breakthroughs onto comm channels, and grabbing nearby text-based messages. Capable, but not reliable. - Short-Range Audio Amplifier
When directed at a source of sound, this device records it and funnels it back to the cock-pit. It's like any other Audio recorder, only directed. - Access to the Holonet and Cryptnet.
Typical computer systems for any ship operating in a less than legal way. This was on it when Cambry got the ship. - Sensor Package
Factory standard for any ship, this includes flight sensors, atmospheric data, and general technical readouts, including radar. - Advanced Engines + Supplemental Maneuvering Jets
One of the first things Sprey fitted onto his ship was better engines; the things a heck of a clunker. Over the years, he eventually bought supplemental jets and had them installed on Corellia, just to further increase the ship's mobility. It wasn't cheap, but it makes getting through traffic easier. - Advanced Shields
Factory standard for the YV-929, these things can take a beating, but sap power something fierce. - ECM Systems
These can jam the targeting systems of missiles, making the ship less likely to get blown up. These were installed by Sprey during his time as a Mandalorian operative. - Sensor Scrambler
A last ditch tool when facing trouble, this thing more or less shuts down the Lassie's sensors as well as any attempts to get a bead on it. Since it's so hit and miss, it wasn't hard for Cambry to get a hold of and install during his time working at the repair shop on Corellia. - Drop Pod
Acquired by Cambry while working for the Nexus Corportation, this was one of the first things he requested as part of his contract.
Maneuverability Rating: 6
Speed Rating: 4
Hyperdrive Class: 2
Strengths:
Supplemental sensor equipment, for surveillance and monitoring of targets, objectives, and the like.
Modified to be ideal for flexible use in a smuggler, bounty hunter, spy, or operative capacity.
Weaknesses:
Not designed for ship combat, more for avoiding it.
Fairly old, requires consistent repairs.
Clunky shape, lowering in-atmosphere speed compared to sleeker vessels.
Has a lot of power-balancing issues. That has to be done manually.
Description:
The Lassie was Foto Sprey's ship, acquired near the end of his tenor as a Mandalorian Protector. As such, when Cambry inherited the vessel, it came equipped with far higher durability and shielding than most of it's model, and it's engines were formatted for better performance in general. As something of a gearhead, Cambry's made his own modifications since the ship came into his possession, primarily in the way of surveillance technology and remote control compatibility.
The Lassie was won by Fotos Sprey during a gambling match. Actually, he was supposed to win a far newer combat freighter, but this ship is what he found waiting for him at the impound lot. So of course, he went back, beat the guy who cheated him senseless, and used his cash to purchase a whole slew of upgrades for the ship, just to prove he could. It worked; the Lassie is a pretty great ship, these days. Sure, it's shell is out of date, and a little clunky, but on the inside the ship's younger than her current pilot. Since Sprey died a horrible death, his mentee Cambry Owens has taken ownership of the freigher, and it's become his primary transport and home.
The Lassie can carry 150 metric tons of cargo, just as it's model is meant to support.
Development Thread: None
Intent: Really just to give more credibility to using my character's ship in RP, as it's a huge staple of my posting. I want to make sure I'm going through the legit channels.
