Legend

this was the unimaginative name used by Niles Ferrier for his modified Corellian gunship, which served as his personal smuggling vessel during the early years of the New Republic. In fact, the ship was registered with BoSS simply by its serial numbers, which allowed Ferrier a certain amount of anonymity. He also felt that, since his primary line of work was stealing ships for resale, there wasn't any need to get too attached to it. The ship's systems and interior reflected this mode of operation, with the barest minimum of effrt being expended on maintenance and upgrades. The only major rework Ferrier had done was to replace unneeded crew quarters with cargo space, and to upgrade the ship's drive systems. The Gunship was crewed by ten beings, and could accommodate up to four passengers and 450 metric tons of cargo. It was armed with eight double turbolaser cannons, six quad laser cannons, and four concussion missile launchers. A specialized launching system also allowed Ferrier to fire a conner net at a target, which would help Ferrier to capture the vessel.
