EQUIPMENT

DESCRIPTION
The Aurore class freighter is one of several in the YV series produced by CEC since before the Clone Wars broke out. The ship has a history of being used extensively by the Zygerrian Slave Empire as well as CIS and and the Mining Guild. For a long time this was believed due to the arguably 'ugly' appearance of the blocky ship but it ended up becoming more popular in the wake of the Battle of Exagol. Now in the hands of a diverse customer base, it retains many characteristics of the company's other products. Most often today it is found in the hands of mercenaries who aren't afraid to keep some of the restraint features usally in the form of mounted stun cuffs or incorporating brig modifications for bounties. A full crew consists of a pilot, co-pilot, engineer, sensor technician, two loadmasters, and four gunners however the ship can be manned by a single pilot with some moderate drawbacks. Thus it has become used by many small crews making their way among the trade lanes.

Boasting more than one turret, the first is mounted underneath the cockpit and can be controlled remotely from a gunner station or by the pilot or co-pilot controls. The same can't be said for the the aft dorsal laser cannon turret which requires a gunner to be present manning the system directly. Some version of the ship lack this turret entirely as it requires extra licensing. To the same affect some owners add on aftermarket weapon upgrades. From the aft of the ship on a lower deck beneath the dorsal turret is a position for a grapple turret. This is most notably used by Zygerrian slavers to capture the unfortunate individuals they seek to imprison. It can also be fitted with a magnetic harpoon as well.

One feature shared with other YV series freighters are the twin engines of the Aurore class freighter rotate to a vertical position. This allows the ship to take have rapid and stable take off and landing maneuvers. Usually it's cargo being a lower and centered mass gives the pilot a surprising amount of control over the ship that only improves with less cargo making it a decent patrol vessel. The ship bears only a single escape pod safety feature in place that allows the crew to eject the cockpit. This also has a backup navicomputer and class 10 hyperdrive.

Internally it has a mostly versatile deck plan that can be altered per a customer's preferences to house cargo. The most popular customers in the past have been the Zygerrian Slave Empire and the Mining Guild but the ship has ended up in the hands of a wide customer base despite its reputation. Most Aurore freighters keep an open deck plan that can house a wide variety of cargo or even small vehicles.

LEGALITY
Legal. Some might get flagged for an extra screening at customs but aside from the regular licensing needed for most freighters there the ship is innocuous by most system standards.

INTENT
To bring a ship from canon into our site's fanon.
