DESCRIPTION​

The Z-13 Light Freighter was designed by Moonbell Shipyards to be an affordable and safe transport. Easy enough to modify it is as popular amongst smugglers and pirates as it is with law abiding citizens and bounty hunters. It has a smaller cargo hold than most of its peers, trading tonnage for better handling both in and out of atmo. The top and bottom mounted guns have full 360 degree rotation and 180 degree swivel, making the ship well suited to defend itself. The escape pod can be accessed through a hatch in the cockpit as well as its main door in the bunk area and launches from the front of the ship. The cargo bay has both a main rear loading ramp and sliding side doors, these extra cargo bay doors combined with its long and narrow design allow for it to be loaded and unloaded in tight spaces that other ships wouldn’t fit. The Z-13's nickname "Hopskip" was given because once it's loaded up and out of atmo it's just a Hop Skip and a hyperspace Jump to your destination.

Faison's Z-13 was acquired during a mission on Nar Shaddaa as payment for services rendered. It's modifications include an additional turret mounted on the bottom of the craft as well as an upgraded shielding package. However, this comes at a greatly reduced cargo and hangar capacity.

LEGALITY​

Completely legal without modifications. With Faison's modifications, maybe not so legal. Who's asking?

INTENT​

This is a unique ship based off of the original Z-13 design, meant to serve as Faison Kelborn's personal ship.

ADVANCED TECH​

YES. To be obtained by means of a plot.

Upgraded sheilding from what? Civilian shields?

Good to see the original linked in the intent. I would say with faison’s modifications it could require a permit of some kind if inspected unless you want it impounded, fined, or thrown in jail. Maybe that can be a step in the plot to acquire it.

That's a good suggestion. and yes upgraded from civilian shielding.

Due to the added equipment, I'm gonna say the speed should be 45 MGLT instead of 50. Otherwise, looks good!

Edited.

 

[AutoFox]

Approv-ed.

 

[Fyremage]

Approv-ed.

I had just noticed I had forgotten to also indicate the bottom turret is rotary too. It may have been a given, but is that also ok? Sorry for my lapse in editing. Its fixed now.

Thanks for the approval if all is gravy.

 

[AutoFox]

I had assumed the ventral turret was a mirror of the dorsal one. Should all be good.

 

[Fyremage]

Great. Thanks!

 

[One For Sorrow]

Hehe. Dorsal..

Also woot! Someone modded my ship!!
