Hyperdrive Class: 0.4
Strengths:
- Exceptionally Fast: high power engines give this craft incredible straight line acceleration
- Smooth Ride: high quality inertial dampeners make the ride smooth and comfortable under almost any conditions
- Luxury inside: no expense was spared in kitting out the conference room, office and living quarters.
- Resilient: the shields are remarkably durable and the ultrachrome hull can absorb huge volumes of energy
- Sensor-shielded cargo hold, lined with Neuraniam
- Lightly armed: a hidden turret and pair of missile tubes to the prow, but even these are often loaded with probes instead of missiles
- Difficult to repair: parts are often hand machined or unique and require an expert mechanic to keep running smoothly
- Kinetic strike: assaults from the flank with kinetic weapons can seriously damage the hull
Based on the classic H-type design this is a one off build for a rich Noble. The entire engine bay has been tuned well beyond stock performance - which was already exceptional - and almost thirty percent of parts replaced with individually machined components to take the additional strain. A pair of Theed Hangar S-10 generators reside in the rear of the ship. One typically sits operational, but idle to reduce fuel consumption and wear. Both will ramp up to full power to launch into hyperspace or to reach peak acceleration with the Sossen Ion Drives becoming thirsty. Inertial dampeners and overall tuning make this vessel an exceptionally smooth ride, even when performance is pushed to the limit.
Unlike the older models the cockpit is to the prow of the vessel. There are two seats facing forwards for pilot and co-pilot. Two stations behind that are multi-function, but intended for a navigator and engineer/defensive systems operator. The ship can be piloted by one individual in a pinch, two is satisfactory, but it is most suited to a full crew of four at the helm.
Like most Theed Hangar vessels this custom H-Type has exceptional shielding. However the chrome hull is in fact ultrachrome. A mesh resides beneath this superconducting layer and absorbs thermal energy from the hull. Whilst this provides no protection against kinetic strikes the hull is incredibly robust against laser fire and would make the vessel ideal for running through a blockade.
The interior space is mostly designed for comfort. The space behind the cockpit features a conference room and general living space. Behind that are two crew quarters. One with a double bed, another with four smaller bunks. Below this is a small office space - used by the previous owner to carry out business during trips - and the master suite. This features a number of expensive pieces of artwork, its own refresher suite and a handcrafted Naboo bed.
From the upper deck the engineering bay can be reached by heading past the crew quarters. From this one can reach a small cargo space on the lower deck which has a ramp to exit the yacht. This hold is shielded against sensor scans and can be used to hide contraband or people. Another exit is right behind the cockpit and this is used more frequently by crew.
