Vessel Info

This vessel was taken by Korras at the conclusion of the battle for Coratua. It was boarded by a boarding party from the Vae Victus when the remainder of the planet's former leadership tried to evade capture. Finding the vessel sufficient for his needs, the then Obelisk High Commander decided to keep it for himself, as Spoils of War.

Not being able to fully crew the vessel with a living crew, and finding those not efficient enough, an assortment of droids from the Coratua stashes were reprogrammed to serve as crew for this ship. These serve the weapons, act as damage control, etc. this allows for a lower level of Life Support, aiding in the efficiency of the vessel. Only those area's occupied by flesh-and-blood crew are supplied with decent levels of Life Support. The Warrior-class is itself already quite automated, and turning over control to specially-programmed droids (which are memory-wiped regularly, to prevent time-consuming incidents with droids gaining a personality) only adds to that.

Those living crewmembers mainly serve as Head Engineer, and various other Head crew positions.

History

The Conquistador has been a Pirate ship since being stolen from the New Alliance, known then as the 'Blazing Death'. It's history prior to that is unknown.

Action

Since being named Conquistador, in honor of the victory at Coratua, it has seen very little combat action. It was kept in reserve during the following Great Jedi War, and has been kept out of combat during that.

Trivia

Approved by GM Jac Cotelin, for successfully running the last Obelisk Rite of Supremacy, on the condition it possibly could be revoked on two set occasions.
