Vessel Info

The Nighthawk is a heavily modified Agave-class Picket. It was commissioned by Clan Arcona in 37 ABY after the Dark Crusade to fill a very specific and unique role.

Role

The Nighthawk was commissioned to act as a mobile base of operations for the Dajorra Intelligence Agency. It would connect and direct the various and far flung agents, moles and spies the Agency had at its command, whilst maintaining a low profile. The ship was heavily modified from the original design to allow it to operate deep in hostile territories. Furthermore, the ship itself would be expected to operate independently of both the Arcona Expeditionary Force and the Dajorra Defence Force, only occasionally coming into contact with both task forces. The Nighthawk and her crew would spend long periods operating away from home, acting as Arcona’s eyes and ears, alerting the Shadow Clan to potential threats long before they ever came to be in a position to actually harm the Clan.

Characteristics

The ship was heavily modified from the original Agave-class design to give it a sleeker, more streamlined appearance. Ostensibly, the craft could pass as a large ‘pleasure yacht’, however the modular design was put in mind with a number of upgrades. So far, in addition to the modified hull, the Nighthawk possesses a Cloaking Device, allowing it to move undetected through enemy space. Additionally, a hangar has been built into the lower portion of the craft, allowing it to field a small complement of support craft. So far, there are two Nu-class attack shuttles to act as landing craft, as well as the Captain’s own Stealth-X fighter.

The ship has also been prepared to have an augmented Hyperdrive, a dedicated AI computer, a Long Range Turbolaser designed to be fitted on a Destroyer, and Lamaninium Hull plating, however, those modifications are still in the research phase.

Layout

The Nighthawk was designed for extended operations in deep space without many layovers, so the interior has been optimised for both efficiency and the crew’s comfort, though space is at a premium. Small nods to comfort have been fitted, such as leather chairs, a full kitchen and two observation lounges, though it is rumoured that Teroch wants to turn one of the lounges into a small gym.

Deck One

At the top of the ship, built directly next to the external bulkhead is a small captain’s cabin. It is modest in size, whilst still retaining a few privileged luxuries, such as a full double bed, it’s own en-suite refresher, and even a fish tank (though the current occupant has yet to get any fish for it). Added to this is a desk and terminal, a small seating area, a weapons display rack and some shelving.

Deck Two

The forward section of the second deck is dominated by the command and operations of the Nighthawk. At the nose of the craft is the cockpit proper, where the helm and navigation stations are placed. Just aft of the cockpit is the forward airlock. Down from those is the control centre, which is far more advanced than one would require for a simple picket. In it is the command station facing a tactical holographic dis

Action

The Nighthawk is still being constructed, and as such, has yet to see combat.
