Sovereign Outcast

"What a piece of junk!" "Don't worry, it'll get us there." "In one piece?" "Ehh..."

- Ren Silber and Trent Morano The Sovereign Outcast is the personal starship of Ren Silber.

Description
The Sovereign Outcast is an extremely heavily modified Rogue-Class Imperial Transport developed by Sienar Fleet Systems. First aquired in a state of semi-disrepair, Ren Silber and Trent Morano worked to repair and extensively modified it to fit the role as a mobile home base and gunship suitable for a wide variety of missions. As the ship was built by Sienar Fleet Systems, it bears a resemblance to its Imperial bretheren such as the TIE line of starfighters, being based mainly on the design of the Scimitar Star Courier used by Darth Maul.

Modifications over the original design include the solar panel wings being altered as they had been previously in a state of disrepair, with one wing being repaired to its original state while the other was modified into a split wing design. The engine was originally placed horizontal on the back but in order to make more space in the interior it was instead offset to the side and placed vertically, while also increasing its power output generously. Weapon systems were entirely overhauled, freaturing twin swivel laser cannons, concussion missile launchers, and laser turrets on the top and bottom of the ship.

Shielding, as well, was heavily modified, allowing the ship to take an impressive amount of damage before the shields give out, having two separate shield systems in order to provide some redundancy in case one was disabled.

Further a stealth system was added to the ship, the most difficult modification to procure and install, allowing the ship to cloak itself to enemy sensors. Though it could still be spotted visually, its dark color scheme made it difficult to pick out from the background of space.

The ship also sported a blisteringly fast Class 0.5 hyperdrive, allowing it to cross vast distances in space in easy time, with a backup Class 5 hyperdrive in case of emergencies.

Creation
Created as a Rogue-Class Imperial Transport by Sienar Fleet Systems, the Rogue-Class was originally supposed to be a diplomatic cruiser along the lines of the Consular-Class Cruiser, but on a smaller scale. It featured all the amenities of a ship of its purpose, with lounges, sleeping quarters, a kitchen and all the other works. However, only a handful of Rogues were ever produced, as Sienar Fleet Systems began developing and building the much cheaper and more fitting Lambda-Class Shuttle. Over time, looking to recoup some of their losses, Sienar would sell off Rogues to either wealthy buyers or scrapyards. Rogue-Class T-0141 was one such ship that was sold to a wealthy buyer; a member of the Bounty Hunter's Guild, Craz Madda, who renamed the ship the Black Dawn.

As a Bounty Hunter Ship
Over the years, the ship was used mainly in bounty hunting duties for various bounty hunters, not being owned by any but instead lended off by the owner, Craz Madda, for a fee. The ship's unique design and simple modifications made it into a decent ship for bounty hunting purposes, and Madda would claim a portion of the bounty's reward as payment for lending the ship to a bounty hunter. Over time, the ship would inevitably get damaged and repaired over and over, until the ship was eventually left in its state for a while, funds from lending the ship out eventually running dry. Madda held onto the ship, hoping to find a buyer to take it off his hands entirely, but no offers came as it began to collect dust and fall apart.

Procurement by Ren Silber
Ren Silber was referred to Craz Madda by Trent Morano after hearing that the former was in need of a ship of his own. Meeting Madda in person, Ren was offered a lucrative bounty to bring in a fugitive criminal wanted by the Empire, and in exchange he could keep the ship for a cut of his take of the bounty. Not liking the feeling of helping the Empire with anything, but still in need of a proper ship, Ren agreed to the job. Discovering the bounty target to be a rogue IG-100 MagnaGuard and upon their return realizing that the two had been sold out to the Empire by Craz, the three fought off the Imperials and ended up killing Craz Madda, taking his credits reward from the Empire for themselves and escaping into hyperspace before Imperial reinforcements could arrive.

Repairment
The Black Dawn, at this point in deperate need of repairs after taking several shots from Imperials while taking off in the hangar of the space station, was taken to Raxus Prime upon Trent's suggestion. Raxus Prime was the Galaxy's junkyard, and there would be no shortage of parts that could be used to get the ship back into working order. Upon landing on the toxic planet, Ren, Trent and Eigy went in search for parts to repair the ship to a status where it could be reliably flown. The trio worked for several days, with Ren and Trent having found spare rations in the cargo hold, and when the work was complete, the ship was rechristened the Sovereign Outcast.
