| One of the few ships not captured by [[Plagueis (House)|House Plagueis]] during the boarding of the new [[Ascendant Fleet]], the '''''Bloodsport''''' is the main vessel of the [[starwars:Trandoshan|Trandoshan]] slaver guild [[Saraask'ar]]. The reptiles that choose to dwell aboard the ship typically stay there unless engaging in black market deals on distant worlds or capturing slaves. While originally built for only ninety passengers, the ship has plenty of cargo room - those reptiles not sleeping in the passenger area or onboard other ships are typically found there, training amongst each other or keeping captured slaves in line.

| In need of a new home, Saraask'ar's reptiles repaired and retrofitted the vessel, using a variety of stolen ships to ferry cargo to and from it before completing the task. The interior, normally a plain affair in the passenger area and an open cargo area, was transformed. Trandoshan glyphs, artwork, and even the armor, weapons, and corpses came to decorate the walls and floors of the place. The passenger area was gutted to make room for sleeping hammocks, while those not sleeping built crude training and eating areas within the spacious cargo hold. Acquiring a squadron of durable, versatile Z-95 headhunters, the lizards kept their new home safe while training within to become perfect slavers. | | In need of a new home, Saraask'ar's reptiles repaired and retrofitted the vessel, using a variety of stolen ships to ferry cargo to and from it before completing the task.

| Designed to be used by shipping firms and freight drivers transporting cargo, the GR-75 is a sister design to the [[starwars:GR-45 medium transport|GR-45 transport]] used by civilians. Its original design is that of an ovoid, thick hull with an open undercarriage used to transport crates and boxes of cargo. When these are in place, a magnetic shield protects the cargo and keeps the vacuum of space out. Its speed capabilities were not amazing, given that its focus was on cargo usage, and so it saw only basic shielding, a class 4 hyperdrive, light armament in the form of four turreted laser cannons, and sublight engines capable of achieving 650 km/h.
| | Baleen-class heavy freighters operated only in space, incapable of making planetary landings. Since they have only the most basic forms of self-defensive measures, they have often made tempting targets for pirates and so had to rely on protection from other capital ships and starfighter escorts. The ''Bloodsport'', however, carries within it twelve of the powerful SS-54 assault ships, providing it more than sufficient protection from most would-be pirates. |
| | |
| Several portions of the ship's undercarriage have seen the welding of multiple cargo containers to the ship, fused together to make walking areas and crawlspaces. Within these, Trandoshans communicate, transport goods and slaves, or train, while the passenger area is slung with hammocks and used for a rotating sleep shift. The vessel seldom ever carries the entirety of the guild - this is on purpose. At no time except when expressly needed is any more than one third of the guild ever at risk.

The Bloodsport is a Baleen-class heavy freighter under the control of Clan Plagueis. The main vessel of the Trandoshan slaver guild Saraask'ar, it is one of the only ships not operated under the auspices of the Ascendant Fleet. The reptiles that choose to dwell aboard the ship typically stay there unless engaging in black market deals on distant worlds or capturing slaves. While originally built for a crew of only 6, the ship has plenty of cargo room - those reptiles not sleeping in the passenger area or onboard other ships are typically found there, training amongst each other or keeping captured slaves in line.
