Background and Layout

The Idiot’s Array, also known as “The Idiot”, is a Baleen-Class Heavy Freighter used by the Wildcards. The cavernous hangar bay allows each member of the team and various visitors to land their respective ships. Large enough to fit several YT-1300 Light Freighters with room to spare, it also has refueling and repair stations….for a cost.

Beyond the hangar bay, the Baleen is the main cargo area. This area has large detachable containers, and are able to hook to other ships via umbilical. Each member of the team is assigned a cargo container for their personal use. These pods, however, are permanently attached to the ship.

While the ship is slow at sublight speeds, it does have a highly upgraded hyperdrive as well as a heavy-duty shield generator that can withstand most fighter bombardments. It lacks any exterior weaponry but does have a few surprises. Inspired by seeing a Star Destroyer crash into a planet, Takota designed a crude kinetic weapon system. Several of the cargo containers are filled completely with water. These containers can be detached and aimed via targeting computers. Even while at slow sublight speed these containers hit a target at a fraction of light speed. At full shields even a Star Destroyer will not escape unscathed.

Tasks & Schemes

The Wildcards, while employed by Odan-Urr, also accept work from outside sources. Many of the team members are on well-established terms with the Tincles the Hutt syndicate. Through this connection they are able to obtain work as Bounty Hunters, protection, smuggling, ect. While these jobs are not condoned by the Council of Odan-Urr, the team has an unspoken agreement that Odan-Urr will look the other way as long as the work does not conflict with work required by the clan.

Upon reappropriating the Idiot’s Array, the team began refitting the bulk freighter into a moving bazaar of sorts. Inside the cavernous landing bay you can find refueling, repair, and illicit refitting services for a price. The bay also allows the Array to capture blasted hulks of other ships for salvage operations. Further back into the cargo containers, one can find a variety of shops in several of the containers. These range from small cantina’s, gambling houses, and short term quarters. These businesses are owned by members of the team, or by third party vendors under the agreement that a fair portion of their income is given to the team.
