DESCRIPTION​

During the Rise of the Empire and Rebellion eras, certain groups within Fondor Shipyards and elsewhere in the galaxy realized the FT-19 Fondor Haulcraft had an overpowered ion reactor and space to spare. This lead to the covert dissemination of a design kit to add additional retractable weapons to the craft, popular both amongst the criminally wealthy or other rebellious souls trying to blend in with galactic traffic.

Done 'off the books' by certain Fondor engineers or at places like Amorris Drive Yards by those who'd fled the Imperial-dominated company, this modkit added a series of difficult-to-detect weapons. A double rapid alternating cannon at the front, and wingtip-mounted laser cannons were wired into existing spare space.

Rebels, smugglers, or well-connected transports operating in rough areas of space who could afford the kit valued the extra punch for warding off pirates or even rebels eager to steal valuable cargo.

The kit is still available for those in the know, although it's far less illegal in the modern day. Still, hidden starship weapons tend to garner a second look once noticed.

LEGALITY​

Restricted. In more civilized systems, flying a craft with additional weaponry requires permits or special licensing in parts of the galaxy. Their concealed nature may attract attention if noticed.

INTENT​

To add a subtle armament option to the Fondor Haulcraft for those who could afford it.

RESTRICTIONS​

This modification may only be applied to the FT-19 Fondor Haulcraft.
