DESCRIPTION
The Black Jack is a modified Light-Freighter. It was originally owned by a pirate captain but confiscated by the Empire. Instead of being scrapped for parts or used for target practice, it was assigned to a young sub officer of the Imperial Republica Navy. Zane Knox took the controls from here and is using the ship to carry out missions for the Empire and hopefully gain enough notes to one day be promoted or given command of an actual Imperial Navy ship.
When created, this ship had a modest cargo space, but after a quick upgrade attained by the previous pirate owner, the cargo space was reduced significantly to add more passenger space.
The ship is armed with a dual light laser cannon, on the dorsal side giving the freighter a good way of defending itself against smaller craft. The cannons are too light to do any major damage to anything other than a star fighter who comes too close, but can be easily upgraded to dual medium laser cannons which pack a mightier punch against larger ships like other freighters and gunships, with the right tech upgrades, of course. The hull offers many positions for other weaponry installments making it the key ship for most smugglers or pirates.
On the front ventricle of the ship, looks like a heavier cannon, but is in fact part of the sensors equipped to the ship.
The ship also has light shields equipped.
A crew of one is able to pilot and function the ship but at a much smaller capability than with a full crew.
When fully equipped and manned, she could be converted into either a powerful defensive support ship or gunship to any fleet. This will take much time and many tech upgrades to accomplish but is a mighty goal to attain.
LEGALITY
Legal on most worlds.
INTENT
To give a basic freighter for Zane Knox to start out with.
ADVANCED TECH
No.
Designed after the Nexus Light-Freighter
