DESCRIPTION​

The Starwind-class pleasure yacht is a luxury spacecraft manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards. Originally intended as a light freighter to compete with the Corellian Engineering Corporation's famous YT line, the Starwind was converted into a luxury transport late in development, after KDY analysts judged that market segment to have greater profit potential than the already overcrowded light freighter market. In this role, the Starwind has been a modest success for KDY, appealing to a more pragmatic set who want a vessel which incorporates the lavish amenities of a personal yacht with the utility and ease of maintenance of a light freighter.

The Starwind is a mid-sized craft, 50 meters long with a crew of 5, plus 10 passengers and up to 20 tons of cargo. The type is equipped with a class 1 primary hyperdrive and has a top sublight speed of 50 MGLT; if this fails to keep it out of danger, it is also equipped with medium shields and a pair of quad laser cannons for defense. Should all else fail, the Starwind comes standard with a single escape pod capable of accommodating all passengers and crew; uniquely, this pod is equipped with its own class 10 hyperdrive, allowing it to escape the scene of an accident - or pirate attack - under its own power, rather than waiting to be rescued in-system.

The Starwind of course comes with all the best in luxury accommodations as well, including spacious staterooms for all passengers, dining and lounge areas, a well appointed galley and many other conveniences. Many owners will request customizations to their vessel, and thus not 2 Starwinds are likely to share exactly the same configuration.

In general, Starwind-class pleasure yachts are owned by wealthy beings who do not wish necessarily to show off, but who do appreciate the finer things in life. Relatively nondescript on the outside, the Starwind hides an opulent interior, and fulfills this requirement nicely.

LEGALITY​

Legal. Pleasure yachts such as the Starwind are considered innocuous enough under most jurisdictions, and are not restricted in most systems.
