DESCRIPTION
The Couronne is a sleek vessel of Nubian design. It is relatively new on the galactic market as the first ship of its class was produced in 491 ABC and not distributed onto the open market until 492 ABC. Since then, the vessel has gained a good reputation for the relatively quick speed at which it can travel across the galaxy and more importantly the elegant exterior along with the comfortable interior. While not the most expensive ship of Nubian design, the utility of this vessel along with the good quality has made it popular among those who wish to travel with comfort and style.It is slightly larger than the average freighter but of a much smaller size than the commercial space liners of the galaxy. The hull is of a sleek Nubian design and is composed of a small number of large plates providing optimal use of resources and minimizes air resistance when entering the atmosphere of a planet. The small number of snugly attached plates does, however, mean that modifying the exterior by attaching weapons cannot be done without radical modifications to the hull in its entirety.
In exchange for much of the vessels cargo capacity, the Nubian designers created comfortable areas for the passengers including the main hall with a sky view, personal booths, screens which datapads can be connected to and energy outlets. There is also a small lounge at the back in which warm food can be served and that is better suited for social interactions than the main hall. Between the lounge and the main hall is a short corridor containing a lavatory and a communications device through which it is possible to speak to both of the ship's passenger areas. Some Couronne-class shuttles have a smaller lounge but come equipped with a simple cooking station instead.
While the vessel can be commandeered by a single pilot, it can be made more efficient with a navigator and even more so with a co-pilot. It is relatively common for commercial Couronne-class shuttles or those belonging to governments or wealthier individuals to have removed a few passenger seats in order to create an area for a cabin crew. These areas usually contain smaller seats along with blankets, liquids and other items which could be desirable. Despite not being included in the first model, the Nubian company soon realized that many of the people who traveled in their new design desired a long range communications suite which was then incorporated and has been included as a stock function ever since.
LEGALITY
This ship is legal everywhere.INTENT
I wanted to make a more fancy ship and noticed that there were relatively few ships of Nubian design in the current timeline. This is supposed to be a more luxurious shuttle of a smaller scale than those that already exist and that can be used both privately and commercially.ADVANCED TECH
No, this is not advanced tech. While glamorous and quick, this ship is not very large, it does not carry weapons and cannot be upgraded to carry weapons either.
