General Vessel Information
The Starwind-class pleasure yacht was a luxury starship produced by Kuat Drive Yards. It was originally intended to compete with CEC's YT series, which it bore a slight resemblance to, especially in the cockpit. Before the design was completed, it was repackaged as a yacht for wealthy customers. Overall, the 50 meter long ship had a flattened ovoid shape. It had a cargo capacity of 200 tons, and was configured to mount a pair of quad laser cannons, though the cannons were not included as standard. The Starwind-class yacht was also equipped with a single escape pod, which was based on the Star Galleon-class frigate's main cargo bay. Unlike other escape pods, it was equipped with its own hyperdrive, and was programmed to make random jumps until reaching the nearest habitable planet or major spacelane, where the ship's crew and passengers could be rescued.
History
The Pacifica has switched hands frequently in its lifetime. Starting as part of a luxury recreation service, it, along with the daughter of a wealthy manufacturer, was seized by pirates. Their location and defenses betrayed by one within their own ranks, a duo of bounty hunters was able to enter, deal with the pirates, and free the girl. A New Republic survey team landed on the unexplored world years later, locating the ruins of the pirate base. The yacht was found to be damaged, but salvageable by the expedition leader, who had it repaired over the course of several months and presented to his son as a gift. The son promptly lost it in a game of chance, and the new owner turned to smuggling. The ship was eventually taken as compensation by Clan Exar Kun after the smuggler was forced to dump a valuable cargo to avoid being imprisoned by New Republic forces.
It is presently on loan to the resort on Nintura as a sightseeing ship for tourists, but is available to all Summits and members of the Council of the Wise when needed.
It is equipped with 2 quad laser cannons. Despite the nature of its last owner, the ship has been conclusively proven to contain no special modifications.
