Intro
That’s right people Starmark2k is going to attempt the premise that I have tried 4 times before and that has only met with success once. But my never say die attitude means I shall try to sell this dead donkey of an idea again and again until Stingerhs, Rogue Nine, ForceFightWMe12 or JasraLantill tell me to stop and ban me from Dantooine. (Please don’t Ban me :D)
So with out further ado I cogently invite you to join…
(I know with all this build up it better be the best damn RP ever)

Mercenary Crew
Episode V
Bounty Hunters
Ten years have passed since the Republic
fell and the empire rose from its ashes. They
rule through fear of the fleets and the force
wielded by the dark lords of the Sith.
The empire fears only one thing; the return of
the Jedi. Although most believed them to be
dead some have survived the purge and have
gone into hiding.
Because of this a bounty has been placed on
the heads of every Jedi and force adept in the
Galaxy. This has tempted the crew of The
Scimitar who have begun the hunt for the
Once defenders of peace…

((Note: Yes some of you out there may notice a similarity but it’s a good ship))
A medium Kuat Freighter that dates back to the clone wars. It's has greatly improved Engines and shields. It has also had a second turret placed on the dorsal hull and has had part of the Cargo hold turned into a 'quick drop' Hanger for a Z-95 Headhunter (
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Z-95_headhunter) (a fairly common upgrade for the class vessel0. The Bridge has a small forward bridge for the captain, pilot and a passenger, This leads into the common room where food can be prepared and consumed it is also where the crew can relax and play games like Dejaric or Sabacc. The Opposite side of this is a small corridor with access to the ventral and dorsal turrets. This then leads to the engineering section. Off the corridor are 10 Sleeping Quarters for the crew and passengers. Ladders to the lower level are located in the common room and the ladders to the turret also lead to the lower level.
The lower level is one large cargo hold with catwalks along walls, The rear has a small hanger that holds the Z-95, the cockpit is accessed via the catwalks. The hanger has doors under the hunter to allow the fighter to drop out of the ship and quickly get to action. The loading ramp is on the starboard side of the ship.
