When Sidon Eshe brought in a Sith Lord's lightsaber in good faith with a story that pretty much checked out, Clan Rekali delivered. The bounty hunter requested a ship fitted like the legendary Slave One, with a few refinements thrown in. The result is a nasty little ship that can tank a hit and keep on tanking. It's also fantastic for sneaking up on and containing Force-users, thanks to a Universal Energy Cage and some ysalamiri (redundancy is good). Its loadout is pretty flexible, too - not great at any one thing, but flexible enough to tackle any given situation, from bombing runs to dogfighting to hit-and-run attacks to getaway car duty. Its hyperdrive and sublight engines are nothing special, but it'll punch above its weight once it gets there, and that's what matters, right?
