DESCRIPTION
Created to order by Ubrikkia Industries, at the demanding request of Nor'baal Desilijic Fa'athra, the 'Supreme Mogul' of the Hutt Cartel, the 'Glorious Jewel' is a large yacht designed to cater to every whim of the 'Supreme Mogul', whilst enabling him to remain on the move. Consisting of a large barge, atop which can be found two palace-like structures, the ship is hyperdrive capable and reminiscent of the war barges of old.
Vast in scale, the ship boasts massive engines at its rear and is shielded with heavy deflectors. It can sustain large quantities of guests, with enormous cabin rooms and space within the ship's barge superstructure to support the entertainment and feeding of thousands of guests and crew.
Atop the barge structure can be found two additional forms, to the rear and fore of the ship. A palace structure dominates the aft of the vessel, and it is quite literally a Hutt Palace built onto the back of the barge super-structure. At the ship's fore can be found a smaller, squat structure, which is used as a guest's quarters and a casino.
Each of the two structures is surrounded by four towers, atop each of which can be found a Point Defense Dual Laser Cannon, mainly used to fend off pirates, asteroids and the like. Along each side of the ship, six dual turbo lasers, and the underside carries four tractor bean projectors and two concussion missile turrets. It features 40 light laser turrets along the circumference of the barge base itself.
Notably, the bridge of this commanding vessel was found at the fore of the ship, in the barge understructure, at its nose.
Like most ships of its size, it could carry fighters, with large hangers located on each side, built into the barge section of the yacht. This section also hosted cargo storage, as the Hutt deeply desired that the 'underclass' commonly associated with cargo haulage be kept away from the Palace.
Better class guests, however, were welcome to use the landing hanger found in the flat space between the fore and aft structures, where a dorsal hanger could be found - allowing guests to visit and land.
This ship was commanding, large in size and powerful to boot. It was almost always on the move, bringing a wide range of scum, villainy, and crime.
For a ship of its size, it is lightly armed, some would say. However, this is due to the undeniable fact that nobody would actually dare attack it (at least, not according to its designer!). The ship also featured a hidden hanger, concealed at the base of the palace, accessible only by the Hutt owner of the ship, in which a Seltiss 2 would be found. Finally, the designer added a luxury escape module featuring a larger escape pod, for use only by the Hutt owner himself.
LEGALITY
Restricted. This ship is a unique one, and is classified as illegal due to the possession of heavy weapons. As the personal home of the Supreme Mogul of the Hutt Cartel, it is massively illegal in most systems.INTENT
To provide a roaming HQ for the Supreme Mogul. This will, once approved, come with a lore article going into detail about the rooms and the palace on board.RESTRICTIONS
This is a unique vessel in the possession of the Supreme Mogul of the Hutts. It cannot be owned by others unless seized from its current owner.
