DESCRIPTION
Manufactured by the Ubrikkians, the Voracious-Class Battle Carrier is a Hutt 'war carrier' designed to move and deploy large numbers of fighters to hostile places of engagement. A slow moving vessel, it was not intended for ship to ship combat, with only a small number of weapons to its name.What it did have however was a wealth of fighters and shuttles on board, restricting weapon space in favour of being able to spew out fighters onto its hapless quarry. However it does have a reasonably commanding cargo hold, otherwise how else are you meant to convey slaves around? A 'cheap and cheerful' ship to make, it had a low class hyperdrive, a medical suite, and a heavy deflector suite, with a full complement of escape pods.
One of the proudest additions to the ship, which perhaps gives away that it was designed by a Hutt, is the large 'obsrvation dome'. A highly impractical addition, armoured and shielded, it enables the rich and powerful to watch ongoing battles in the lap of luxury. Why? Because why not?
LEGALITY
Restricted. Carriers are classified as capital ships under Galactic law, and possess heavy weapons. As such, civilian owners will require extra licensing to operate one legally, and will receive increased scrutiny by authorities.INTENT
To bring a cool bit of artwork, shown in the comics and in canon, into forum lore, and to provide a carrier for the Hutt faction.RESTRICTIONS
Yes. Carriers are large capital ships, therefore these that cannot be owned or operated by individual characters. A faction would be required to obtain and crew a ship of this size. Produced by and for the Hutt Cartel alone, this would be faction-specific tech.
