The Leykiin 35XY-Class Starship, or L35-Class Starship for short, was a type of cruiser developed after the Leykii established the Retrekki government. The L35s were created by KauTech, the leading weaponry and starship manufacturer on Leykor and were designed to be a hundred percent versatile without a moment's notice. If a cruiser was shot down over a watery planet, hypothetically, its backup life support generators would kick in and keep water from flowing in prior impact, while the adaptive Leykor self-resisting steel plating covering the hull could protect the ship from the type of damage inflicted by sharp rocks and other features on barren worlds. However, if the V3-N99 shielding systems on said L35 were to shut down, the hull could only resist these punishments for less than ten standard minutes.
History[]
Plans for the L35s[]
A few years after the formation of the Retrekki government system, Admiral Laark Sej'uk developed blueprints for construction of the L35s. Olaka Heeka'kran Ek approved the blueprints, and the first of the Leykiin 35XY-class starships was to be manufactured immediately. The first one constructed went to Admiral Sej'uk to test-fly over Leykor. He gathered a small crew and the maiden voyage of the L35 began, and a few hours later, Sej'uk and his crew landed under the water near Kau-nara, with the testing of the underwater suppression systems ending with good results. Olaka Ek deemed the voyage a complete success, and mass-manufacturing of the L35s began.
Friends in the Republic[]
The Retrekki had plans of their own for the L35s. They assembled a fleet of the new starships and flew it to the Core Worlds to offer aid to the Republic. The Republic accepted the assistance without hesitation, as another fleet would mean fewer enemies.
G0-T0[]
After a few decades, mass production of the L35s was still progressing. An Exchange Boss, Goto, represented by his droid G0-T0, approached the Leykiin Council with a need for the schematics of the L35s to construct a yacht out of. Admiral Sej'uk refused, saying that Goto was just another "damn fool exchange boss looking to put a blight on the world". The Olaka, Heeka'kran Ek, calmed the admiral down and suggested that the Leykii build Goto's yacht on Leykor and then deliver it to him. Goto saw that there was no reasoning with them, and agreed.
Heeka'kran Ek ordered KauTech to construct a weaker version of the L35s. One that instead would have less room in it, a cloaking device but no autoturrets and a Verpine shield generator instead of the high-tech Leykiin one. KauTech immediately worked on the yacht, and it was delivered to Goto post-haste.
Behind the scenes[]
XY is the genetic code for male. The screenshot of the L35 is, ironically, G0-T0's yacht, the Visionary, from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords.
