Description: The Tachyon Rising started its life as a freighter used by Coren Starchaser and his father, who was a Jedi running from the former Sith Empire. While Coren's father was part of the ExplorCorps, he opted to use his own vessel and the pair quickly fell into gun and rum running alongside the missions granted by the Jedi. As the Sith rose to power, the Starchasers hid from their Jedi legacy, and the ship began making a name for itself in the local Corellian and core systems as a ship that got the job done.
When Coren's father was murdered by a Sith Inquisitor, the young man took the ship and moved away from the Force, working for a time with an Imperial warlord. When this Warlord began to lose himself in his quest for power, the ship found itself working with the Dawn Treader under Coren's direction when he was not flying fighter sorties, as a supply and courier ship. Several modifcations were made to it during this time, including the addition of an ion cannon, as well as upgrades to the engines.
During the time with the Imperial paramilitary group, the ship was not used for combat missions, as stated, working as the primary transport of the quartermaster. After Coren and Kelly were captured, and frozen in carbonite, the ship fell under the ownership of Jared Starchaser who kept it safe aboard the Dawn Treader in the Fringe Federation. When the pair were reawakened, he had the ship recommissioned, and made space worthy again, with the help of Iron Crown Enterprises.
Things being different between Coren and Kelly since the carbonite-and-Force induced amnesia, the former gifted the ship to protect his wife on her quests through the galaxy, and whenever the pair travel together, they use this ship as opposed to Coren's D5-Mantis.
After the death of Kelly Topol during the events of Netherworld, Coren Starchaser took the ship over as his primary vessel. Working with engineers in Fringe space and the Underground, he had began upgrades on the vessel, to allow himself to better explore the galaxy. This was followed by a contract with Azure Executive Intergalactic. Parts were purchased and installed, including the Silk Holdings Cap Drain Module, Countermeaure Module and Silkworm Package as well as the Iron Crown Enterprises Wild Space Kit. From here, he would take the vessel nearly everywhere he was going. [http://starwarsrp.ne...to-the-unknown/]
When Coren joined hte Galactic Alliance, the Tachyon Rising came with him. The vessel was continually upgraded, with a new hyperdrive installed, as well as updated maps, being the first upgrades. Following a trip to Csilla, the Tachyon Rising was given a maser turret, compliments, and as a shout out, to his roots within the Chiss community.
During his time in the Alliance, especially since he had left the Alliance, Coren put further modifications into the ship, including upgrading the power plant for the ship, and further personal customization. A personal hot rod in every sense of the word, the ship is nearly impossible to fly by anyone aside from Coren, as its systems are hardwired for his preferences and flight style.
During the time in the Unknown Regions, Coren Starchaser updated the ship with advanced scanning technology. The ship has been modified during his time using it, as is natural with these types of vessels. This ship has accompanied Coren since its cconstruction
