Krayt’s Honor is a Gozanti cruiser most famous for once defending the personal luxury yacht of Jabba the Hutt prior to the Clone Wars. At that time it was captained by a Kel Dor, Siqo Vass. However, in an effort to avoid the prejudices of increasing humanocentrism, he often had the human female Layn Wynest pose as captain. Captain Vass hired his ship out as a Q-ship, a military-grade vessel posing as a common cargo craft to lure pirates in close enough to destroy them. Vass was willing to defend legitimate merchantmen from any attackers, including Trade Federation starships attempting to enforce illegal embargoes. the Trade Federation placed a bounty on Vass’s head, but the patronage of a grateful Jabba ensured that Krayt’s Honor could always find a safe harbor.
Capabilities
Krayt’s Honor was significantly upgunned with the addition of three turbolasers and a second proton torpedo launcher (and an expanded payload). The proton torpedo launchers are fire-linked and often used by the captain as an opening salvo (since the captain is trained in Pilot, he gains a +2 on [[attack rolll]s with the proton torpedoes, already added into the ship’s statistics). Its biggest offensive surprise was its three turbolasers, able to pack a heavy enough punch to damage capital ships. However, Captain Vass tried not to reveal the big guns’ presence unless forced to, since they were highly illegal.
In addition to its expanded offensive capability, Vass had his ship reinforced and augmented with military-grade deflector shields. The resulting defenses weren’t enough to hold off a capital class ship, but could absorb a great deal more starfighter hits than the ship’s humble appearance would suggest.
