DESCRIPTION​

Stock description Custom description

• This ship and model is fairly new to the marketplace. With an increased need for custom manufacturing, the Celtic was created to provide a mobile manufacturing plant that can be used to create custom components while in transit to delivery. Most mining vessels are not equipped with crew safety and comfort built in. With the multiple tasks required within this ship, a little more comfort and safety was built into it, but not much. To mine, the ship's drone pilots will fly their drones over to extract the ore from their target; the tractor beams are then used to pull the ore into the respective storage container or bay.
  
  Due to room needed for the manufacturing plant, smelting plant, and somewhat upgraded hangar, much of the internal storage was lost. To make up for this, the bottom of the ship is lined with 6 docking ports which normally connect to external storage units. Also due to the fact that these storage containers are filled with a good amount of ore and are therefore very heavy, reinforced docking clamps had to be used to support the docking tubes.
  
  Due to a lack of any offensive or defensive equipment besides the shields, this ship is recommended with a need of a decent escort to protect from pirate attacks and raids.
  
  The Hanger is spacious enough to fit a shuttle or two starfighters or 8 drones, but not all at once. To deal with this issue, the ship was equipped with 2 quad docking tubes on both sides of the ship. Unlike the other docking tubes, the quad tubes can only be attached to starfighters or ships of smaller size such as mining drones. With the drones equipped on the quad tubes, the hanger can be well maintained with little effort.
  
  The ships main portion is taken up by the Internal storage, smelting plant and manufacturing plant, leaving little left for the hanger and engines and additionally much less for the crew. Behind the main bridge is a cabin shared by the captain and his/her officers and a 2nd cabin shared by the crew and workers.
  
  In conclusion, the ship is basically a mobile manufacturing plant and mining platform.
  
• The Solange is a Celtic-3 freighter which Vardon Galland captured from pirates on Boonta. Currently, the ship is staffed by Vardon himself and his four loyal friends: Joe Bethersonton, Phil Baharnd, Lowe Sorken and Claudia Jean Cregg. The Solange is painted in a bright white colour and often serves as a base of operations for the padawan and his friends.
