Legend

this twenty-two-meter-long starship was owned and operated by the Feeorin pirate Nym. It was the first prototype of the Scurrg H-6, a highly experimental and dangerous ship which had been constructed as a prototype bomber by this shipwrights of the Nubian Design Collective. The Nubians decided to scrap the project, much to the dismay of lead engineer Jinkins. It was Jinkins who arranged the theft of the Scurrg H-6 with Nym, and who quit his job on Nubia to join Nym's crew. Jinkins continued to work on the ship, upgrading and enhancing many of its systems. The Havoc was armed with a pair of triple laser cannons on each wing, a turret-mounted double laser cannon on its dorsal side, and a plasma scourge. The original proton bomb launcher was replaced with a "bomblet generator", which produced a continuous supply of extremely destructive energy bombs. An additional missile launcher was also installed to fire proximity mines at enemy ships. The Havoc was also well-shielded. Another of the major modifications Jinkins made was on the ship's command systems. The Scurrg H-6 was originally designed for a crew of five. Jinkins modified the controls and added two dedicated astromech droids to allow Nym to fly the ship by himself if necessary. When flown in atmosphere, the Havoc could attain speeds of 1,000 kilometers per hour, and was equipped with a Class 1.5 hyperdrive for interstellar travel.
