DESCRIPTION
The Arthas is a 25 year old Overhead Class Freighter that has been heavily modified, mainly by its longest owner Hosk Ven'Dov. Used as a smuggling vessel and more recently a multi purpose personal ship, it has been relatively reliable and steady despite its age. The interior of the cockpit is home to an array of Hosk's personal items, as the Arthas has been the closest thing to a home for the Bothan for nearly all his life. Whilst it can be prone to breakdowns, it is evident that all of Hosk's mechanical knowledge has been learned patching the Arthas up countless times. The extra laser turret was an early addition, the installers having to cut down on the available cargo space and passenger capacity to house the systems for the well needed secondary armament. The turret has been mounted at the rear end of the ship's underside, meaning it is still relatively undefended from the top. A faded black and orange paint job has been added in place of the usual orange and white scheme, resprayed numerous times over the years.

LEGALITY
Whilst technically illegally modified, the Arthas' modifications are usually not flamboyant enough to arouse the suspicion of everyone but the most meticulous spaceport authorities. Regardless, Hosk tends to keep away from the authorities whilst flying due to his smuggler background.

INTENT
This is one of the most important sections. Why are you making this ship? What stands out about it and what role does it fill on the site? Who do you intend to use this ship? This should be a well-developed idea beyond "could be useful and there isn't one so I'm making it". If this is generitech, you can omit this section, but please be sure to ling to whatever design it is based on.
The Arthas is Hosk's personal ship to be used by him and occasionally another crew member only. It is based on the Overhead Class Freighter

I like the description. That said, this doesn't really fit with the rules. For one, as the rules say and as I've said repeatedly in rejected or edit-requested tech submissions, we dont generally approve unique submissions without very strong reasoning. It's also significantly better than the baseline model, despite not being marked as advanced tech.

My suggestion is for you to repost this as generitech minus all of the changes from the baseline model. Just keep the fluff. Then you can upgrade it organically using all the various ship upgrades available, or design new upgrades of your own. That's what I'm doing for my smugglers ship.
