Vessel Info
The Nighthawk is a heavily modified Agave-class Picket. It was commissioned by Clan Arcona in 37 ABY after the Dark Crusade to fill a very specific and unique role.
Role
The Nighthawk was commissioned to act as a mobile base of operations for the Dajorra Intelligence Agency.
It connects and directs the various and far flung agents, moles and spies the Agency has at its command, whilst maintaining a low profile.
The ship is heavily modified from the original design to allow it to operate deep in hostile territories. Furthermore, the ship itself would be expected to operate independently of both the Arcona Expeditionary Force and the Dajorra Defence Force; only occasionally coming into contact with both task forces for joint operations.
The Nighthawk and her crew spend long periods operating away from home, acting as Arcona’s eyes and ears, alerting the Shadow Clan to potential threats long before they ever come to be in a position to actually harm the Clan.
In some cases of reported threat, once orders have been received, the crew of the Nighthawk are heavily trained in a vast manner of combat oriented skill sets to handle situations requiring immediate action, giving the Team the ability to respond swiftly and efficiently.
Characteristics
The ship is heavily modified from the original Agave-class design to give it a sleeker, more streamlined appearance. Ostensibly, the craft could pass as a large ‘pleasure yacht’, however the modular design was put in mind with a number of upgrades.
So far, in addition to the modified hull, the Nighthawk possesses a Cloaking Device, allowing it to move undetected through enemy space.
Additionally, a hangar has been built into the lower portion of the craft, allowing it to host a small complement of support craft. Thus far, there are two Nu-class attack shuttles to act as landing craft, as well as the Captain’s own Stealth-X fighter.
The ship has also been prepared to have an augmented Hyperdrive, a dedicated AI computer, a Long Range Turbolaser designed to be fitted on a Destroyer, and Lamaninium Hull plating, however, those modifications are still in the research phase.
Layout
The Nighthawk has been designed for extended operations in deep space without many layovers, so the interior has been optimised for both efficiency and the crew’s comfort, though space is at a premium.
Small nods to comfort have been fitted, such as leather chairs, a full kitchen and two observation lounges, though it is rumoured that Teroch wants to turn one of the lounges into a small gym.
Some members of the crew hope that if the rumour is true it will be a communal one.
Deck One
Captin's Cabin.At the top of the ship, built directly next to the external bulkhead is a small captain’s cabin. It is modest in size, whilst still retaining a few privileged luxuries, such as a full double bed, its own en-suite refresher, and even a fish tank (though the current occupant has yet to get any fish for it).
Added to this is a desk and terminal, a small seating area, a weapons display rack and some shelving.

Command StationThe forward section of the second deck is dominated by the command and operations of the Nighthawk. At the nose of the craft is the cockpit proper, where the helm and navigation stations are placed. Just aft of the cockpit is the forward airlock.

A custom-designed Hypermatter Reactor was commissioned for the craft in order to simultaneously power it's many modifications, however, due to the immense amount of fuel needed to keep the reactor running, the Nighthawk can only go for about 3 months before needing to refuel.
A compact engineering room oversees the reactor and allows access to the Cloaking Device housing, as well as several other systems, such as Life Support and the Shield Generators.
Deck Five
Nighthawk's Hangar.The lowest portion of the Nighthawk houses the Hangar and the Armoury. The hangar is large enough to house a squadron of fighters and a pair of shuttles, however at present only houses the Captain's Stealth-X and a pair of Nu-class shuttles.
The Armory looks directly onto the Hangar floor and offers several workbenches for the members of the crew to repair, maintain and modify their weapons and armor. It is around the armory where the ship's Quartermaster oversees all supplies coming in and out of the 'Nighthawk.
It is a regular occurrence that the crew use the hangar as a sparring ground and also a firing range when it's not otherwise in use.

Unfortunately, the prohibitive cost of most of the intended modifications necessitated the need to purchase and install them over time so as not to cripple Arcona's military expenditure.
Shotgun Hypertransciever

The nature of the shotgun Hypertranciever means it is all but impossible to intercept or block, making it perfect for intelligence-based work.
Cloaking Device
