Brightstar Special

Modified G9 Rigger Freighter
Class: Medium Freighter (Modified)
Manufacturer: Corellian Engineering Corporation (original) — extensively overhauled at Brightstar Shipworks

Height: 18.5 meters (61 feet)
Mass (unloaded): ~48 metric tons

The Brightstar Special is a unique, hand-rebuilt G9 Rigger-class freighter — a durable workhorse that has been transformed into a rugged, heavily armored hauler with surprising teeth. Originally a bulk transport, the ship was salvaged by Kira Venn and her crew, stripped to its frame, and rebuilt with modern systems, additional weapon hardpoints, and reinforced cargo modules.

Crew: 2–4 minimum (optimal: 6–8)
Passenger Capacity: 8–10
Cargo Capacity: ~200 metric tons (highly modular cargo bays)
Consumables: 3–4 months
Hyperdrive: Class 2 (backup Class 15)
Sublight Speed: Average (freighter standard, boosted slightly by modifications)
Maneuverability: Below average (large ship, sluggish in atmosphere)

Combat Stats (Starship-Scale, D&D 5e Inspired)
| Armor Class (AC): 15 (with reinforced hull) |
| Hull Points (HP): 240 (heavily armored) |
| Shield Points (SP): 80 (recharges 10 per round when active) |
| Speed: 90 meters/round (sublight) |
| Turn Radius: 3 hexes (slow and wide) |

Quirks
Prototype Systems: Occasionally flicker or glitch under stress (GM can roll d20: on a 1, random system hiccups during critical moments).
Legacy Core: Some old Clone Wars command codes still buried deep in its systems, potentially attracting attention from archivists or slicers.
Crew-Heavy: Ideally needs a full crew to run all stations (pilot, co-pilot, gunners, engineer, navigator) — short-handed crews suffer action penalties.
