Bridge

Crew Quarters
Alongside the neck of the ship, there are 4 cabin quarters for the crew to use. They have standard issue equipment and are spacious enough for a bed, desk and small wardrobe or safebox to be inside.
Sensor Globe Stations
The ship, having been built as a Scout Vessel, comes equipped with six small Sensor Globe Stations. Two are located along the neck of the ship, right behind 2 quarters, and the remaining four are located around the main body of the ship. These are used to perform several tasks, from ship scanning, object analysis, hyperspace detection, etc...
Laboratories
The ship also comes equipped with 2 laboratory rooms where several scientific experiments can be performed. They are mostly used by Allana to brew her special poisons and, sometimes by Aru when more technical operations on his technologies need to be done.
Holo Comms
This room is fitted with a standard issue starship Holo Comm. It covers a wide array of frequencies and is the primary source of communication inside the ship.
Hygiene cabins
The ship is equipped with 2 Hygiene cabins, one in the neck and one in the main body section. The neck cabin is smaller and designed for crew use. It is equipped with a toilet, shower and sink.
The main body cabin is for Aru Law and his close crew to use. It is decorated with luxurious amenities, sporting a bathtub big enough for 4 humanoids with jacuzzi features, white marble floor with a Wampa rug, ambient lighting and music.
Med Bay

Cargo Bays
The ship is equipped with five Cargo Bays. Three of them are located on the main body of the ship, being used for general storage, covering their daily needs, such as food, mechanical and electrical parts, medical supplies and berth supplies.
In the lower deck, there are two larger cargo bays, designed for carrying bulk cargo and overall larger supplies. Both are equipped with a crago lift, allowing for cargo pods to be loaded directly from the ground.
Lounge
The Lounge area is located at the center of the main body of the ship. It is a large and open space area with an autochef, but also several cooking equipment for when the crew prefers to cook themselves. There's also a big seating area, with a couch made of fine Dewback leather and a holochess table for entertainment.
Berths
The main body of the ship is equipped with two medium-sized bedrooms and a larger one that has been transformed by removing the wall between the original two bedrooms. They are used by Aru Law's personal crew and are each decorated according to their own taste.
Aru and Allana's Room
The room has a double bed at the back, with a soft feather mattress and exquisite silk sheets. Along the wall, there's a dresser with a mirror and some lighting that mimics natural lighting on any planet its database contains. Opposite to the dresser, there is a cabinet with Aru's prized colletion of rare Tabac and also some alcohol bottles. A massive wardrobe is by the entrance, made of wood from Kashyyyk and it contains several of Allana's clothing and some of Aru's. A small desk with a holotome is fitted by the corner. It has direct access to the Shadow Academy's database for Aru to consult and read.
Sage's Room
Sage "The Boss" Cormac's room is very simply decorated. It has a bed with red sheets and mattress. On the sheets, the word 'Boss' is engraved in neon purple color. Several hangers are placed along the walls, for Sage's prized feather jackets, and a punching bag hangs from the ceiling, so 'The Boss' can train whenever he wants to.
Kali's Room
Kali has requested her room to be as spacious as possible, because she likes to practice her dance moves. Since the room size cannot be altered, Aru had it fitted with a folding bed that can be hidden on the wall, as well as retractable furniture. With the press of a button, Kali can transform her cosy bedroom into a moderate dance studio. A panel for music selecting is also fitted on the wall opposite to the door of the room.
Engine Room
