DESCRIPTION​

The passion project of Asmodius Rasmus, the Rasmus-Class Assault Ship was designed by said designer and produced by Allegra Enterprise Systems in an attempt to capitalise on a surge of 'Anti-Imperialism' that rose after the end of the Final Order. To that end, the Rasmus was designed as a gunship capable of matching Imperial gunships of the same size while carrying on the 'tradition' of Rebel and Resistance ships of being very customisable in terms of after-purchase modifications.

Despite being a very solidly built ship, the Rasmus-Class Assault Ship was often considered 'scruffy looking' because of the design choice to emulate late stage Rebellion and Resistance ships. This had the effect of tanking the sales of the ship when it came to the New Republic, which wanted to focus on a sleek look to legitimise their new naval forces, and increasing them in the Mid and Outer Rim. They were typically picked up for cheap from Inner Rim sellers who priced them low because they appeared to be of lower quality.

They sold like hot cakes at the edge of the Galaxy however and Allegra Enterprise Systems was able to lower the initial purchase price and make an absolute killing in the Mid and Outer Rim markets. As such the Rasmus-Class Assault Ship is actually a fairly common sight in backwater planetary defence fleets, armed trading company convoys and pirate squads alike.

LEGALITY​

Restricted. Due to their military-grade systems and armament, some extra licensing is generally required for a civilian to fly this ship legally. Such permits are relatively straightforward to get in most systems, however.

INTENT​

To have another gunship-style starship that has an aesthetic that doesn't seem to scream 'old Imperial' or something similar. Something that could reasonably be expected to be used by pirates and planetary defence forces alike.
