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 Calm Sea was among the smaller craft manufactured by KDY under contract from the Dark Council’s Corporate Sector front. The ship was completed during the interim months when the main fleet members had been transferred to Roche for additional upgrades. It was transferred to Plagueian control after the Yuuzhan Vong assault, replacing another Starwind, Solace, destroyed at Antei.
Calm Sea was destroyed during evacuation operations from Morroth during the Horizons crisis in 36 ABY.
