I'm playing a ttrpg (star borg) and my character (assassin droid smuggler) flies an HWK-290. Is there anywhere I can get a sense of its interior plans?

And if not, what are some good smuggling ships for droid that do have interior plans?

He's so notorious that Lord Vader is working with him personally, he's got a set of mandalorian armour, so it seems like he could get an up-to-date ship. But he flies an old patrol boat from before the clone wars? Clearly it's a hobby.

A large gunship with a tiny fighter complement is probably the worst possible design for fighting a hit-and-run insurgency. It dramatically reduces the operational spread, which is a big problem when just one Imperial-class is meant to subjugate a planet or system.

It's powerful, but completely unsuited for its role- and that's the more important thing to me.

Admiral Kay Gor was always a true believer in the separatist cause. When the shutdown order was transmitted, she cut it off and resolved to stay in the fight. When Imperial fleets swept in to mop up, a very vindicated Kay Gor ran for the outer rim, and eventually managed find and set up shop on an almost uninhabited moon, which she named Ando Omega ('final planet' in her native Harch.)

This became the base of operations for a far-ranging raiding fleet, conducting hit-and-run attacks on imperial installations far away from their hidden base. The ships are gradually being upgraded via shady deals, paid for by the holdout's raids.

1x Providence-class dreadnought "Greivous Wound" (renamed in honour of the late war hero) is Gor's flagship. The two-thousand-meter-long warship is rarely deployed, and spends most of its time hidden in a nearby asteroid field waiting for the moment when its colossal firepower is needed. It can outgun a star destroyer, but it doesn't like to: people tend to notice when imperial cruisers go missing.

3x Lucrehulk-class battleships out of 4 managed to escape the empire- the ponderous galleons were bad at running. Two were too badly damaged to serve, and were grounded to start the holdout base. The third- named "Perseverance"- had its livery and illegal weaponry stripped, and now operates as a disguised mobile base/pirate ship as the need arises.

0x Subjugator-class battlecruisers are in her possession, but she wants one so bad. If anyone knows anyone who knows where to find it, please let her know. She will reward you.

7x Recusant-class heavy cruisers proved one of the fleet's first logistical hurdles. The CIS doctrine of cheap but fragile ships could be crippling for a resource-starved insurgency. Extra shields and armour were added, much to the relief of the droid brains. The extra plating also creates more space for vulture droids- referred to as 'little ones' by the recusants- to hide.

10x Munificent-class pocket cruisers are quite useful for hit-and run attacks. Replacing the superheavy turbolasers with ion cannons proved too difficult to be feasible, but they still make very effective ambushers with their prows up-armoured.

14x Hardcell-class transports survived the flight, and were immediately grounded. their parts were stripped for repairs, and now they're just buildings with a history.

16x Gozanti-class light cruisers have been acquired and purchased through various means, and prove quite useful for covert operations such as smuggling, piracy, spying, or picking up shady purchases.

Various Sheathipede- and- other- shuttles came with the fleet to Ando Omega, and are employed in various fundraising ventures- generally smuggling or selling. The more ubiquitous gozantis are used for most of the things a small shuttle can do. One sheathipede- "Gnat-" is Kay Gor's transport, with improved shields, engines, and hyperdrive, and used for negotiations with other holdouts, partisans, and outlaws.

(please ask me about things! It'll help me flesh it out more.)

im like sooooo fucksed up on squibs rn they got us to make anoterer death starr im goinng to be soo fucking ricvh holyyy shitttt. My pr is trign to take my datapad hellp

are they stupid?

that's a little smaller than the recusant-class light destroyer and the munificent-class frigate. And this is in a universe where ships labelled 'dreadnoughts' are multiple times the size of smaller classes.

You are the head technician of an Imperial II-class star destroyer. Following the catastrophe at Endor, your ambitious captain has decided that the destroyer and its full complement will become the start of a new, powerful remnant force.

This is where you come in. It's your job to figure out what kinds of changes have to be made for this force to survive on its own without the imperial supply lines. Your funds are whatever you can make via piracy or selling off the contents of the ship, plus 10 million credits from the captain's pocket (she's been saving up). Good luck!
