DESCRIPTION
An Ubrikkian Industries design, the Minstrel-class space yacht was powered by a pair of strong ion engines, and supplemented by three smaller ion engines on the underside of the vehicle, affording the vessel a sublight speed that can keep pace with many other high-end vessels in the market. Two rear vanes acting as ailerons, and side-mounted manoeuvring jets mounted on six retractable rods helped the yacht reach an atmospheric top speed of eight hundred kilometers per hour, cutting a noticable silhouette on worlds that it visited. The vessel had a relatively slow Class Two hyperdrive slaved to a standard Ubrikkian hyperdrive unit. These yachts were often customised by their owners, and have proven to be very popular with Hutt criminals and others. As a result, Ubrikkian industries mounted weapons on the ships - six turbolasers that, while within civilian limits, were concealed (unlike the ion guns) to act as a last line of shocking defence should anyone seek to harm the occupants of the yacht.

At 160 meters long, it was significantly larger than most personal starships. The eagle-eyed will notice that the vessel does not have enough escape pods for its entire crew and passengers - and many Hutts ensured only they had the access codes to the escape pods.

LEGALITY
Legal. Pleasure yachts such as this are considered innocuous enough under most jurisdictions and are not restricted in most systems. The occupants of the ships, are often, anything but legal however.

INTENT
To bring a ship from canon over into the canon of the site. The write-up us therefore based on a canon item of the same name.

RESTRICTIONS
A sizable vessel mostly used by the Hutts, this ship can be used by members of the Five Syndicates. It may be used by other players outside of this faction if it has been stolen or in any other way taken from a Hutt clan. The activation codes for the ship must also be stolen, directly from the owner of the ship. Due to the excellent design of the ship, when firing its weapons, players by roll a D6, on the roll of a 1, the weapons do not fire.

So, given that this thing has turbolasers, I'd like some restrictions on it.

Well, they look good, but you put it in the wrong place. Also, the header should be in all caps.

I, using my immense genius, have fixed it.
