DESCRIPTION
Constructed to order, and no longer in circulation since the collapse of Geonosis, the Punworcca 116-class sloop was created by melding together Geonosian and Gree technology. At 15.2 meters long, 4.6 meters wide, and 4.8 meters deep it had two multifunctional bow prongs, with an orb-like cockpit module positioned between the two, and a crew hold at the stern of the craft.Composed out of durasteel alloys, the sloop was made up of precious metals, with the interior customisable to the tastes of the purchaser. It came with a databook library, holoprojectors, and sleeping quarters as standard.
Whilst conventionally speaking being unarmed, the solar sailer carried rows of 84 narrow-bream tractor-repulsor emitters along the bow brings which could act as a form of offensive grapple. With modifications, the cockpit module could e replaced with a weapons module, with pilot controls moved to the main hold (however in standard models with was not the case).
Most uniqely however, the Punworcca 116-class sloop came with a solar sail, which unfurled to enable the ship to be powered 'silently'. This feature was of great value, and almost doubled the price of the ship - as it could allow the ship to become very hard to track through hyperspace, using suprelight emissions to afford it excellent performance.
Aside from this the solar sailer was equipped with a conventional repulorlify, with tractor beam emitters along the bow prongs serving as steering aids when they where surrounding objects to tract with. This, combined wth the spread of ray shield and particle shield energies which could be manipulated along the prongs, made the ship exceptionally manouvrable within the atmosphere and places like asteroid fields (but only with the sail down).
Inside the vessel was reasonably luxurious, as could be expected thanks to the price of purchase. It featured a retractable boarding ramp at the rear of the vessel, which gave access to the ship proper. A passenger orbwas located at the back, with a ladder to the maintenance shaft, and small lodgings for the occupant.
Moving from the passenger orb one passed through the main hold, which could be customised to suit what the owner wanted, often at the cost of cargo space. At the fore of the ship, a piloting orb with two chairs could be found.
This ship was exceptionally expensive, costing over 200,000 credits to purchase at the very least.
