Purchased during the New Order era, the Calm Sea came into service in 34 ABY. Purchased along with a multitude of additional craft as a means of expanding upon Plagueis' navy, it serves as part of a small mercantile flotilla. With the Clan's focus upon economic gains and sustaining a steady income via both legal and illegal means, it has been utilized for a variety of roles during its service. Having shuttled everything from raw metal ores to slave shipments bound for the Invisible Market, it remains an active component within the clan's assets.
Characteristics
Typical of its class, the Calm Sea is capable of ferrying thousands of tons of cargo between planets. Requiring only a crew of six to operate the vessel while in flight, it allows for organisations to readily move vital equipment and supplies with minimal manpower. The Calm Sea is an easy target for raiders, and is heavily dependant on escorting ships for protection. Capable of only average speed and poor maneuverability, it is rarely able to outrun or avoid approaching targets. When required, the ship can serve as a passenger transport.
Role
The role of the Calm Sea is to ensure a steady supply of cargo is moved to wherever the clan requires. The nature and requirements of this exact duty varies depending upon Clan Plagueis' status, with its destination and tasks varying depending heavily. Capable of acting as a support vessel to the combat elements of the Ascendant Fleet or simply acting as a freighter to bolster the clan's economy, it is expected to fulfill any needs that fall under the broad category of cargo transportation. Due to the Action VI's versatile frame and design, the Calm Sea can easily be adapted to almost any task that the clan requires of it.
