One of the original production Models of the Corellian
Defender line, the Asto Vidatu has switched hands numerous times over the years.
Eventually the ship fell in to the hands of Master Prajak of the Jedi Order who
used it to run special operations for the council. To that end several
additions were made to the interior. Including an electronic warfare suite and
state of the art encrypted communications which Master Prajak installed
herself. The council included an Artifact Nullification locker and keeps the
ship supplied with nullification resin. It was Master Prajak who gave the Asto
Vidatu her name as well as her distinctive blue and silver paint job which
contrasted it from the standard red and white. The paint job was special in one
other respect the paint had a small amount of Neuranium dust mixed in to it,
while this was not a plating it did cause an obfuscation of scanner rendering
them unreliable at best when attempting to scan the Asto Vidatu. This was
bolstered by the composite Agrinium armored hull of the ship. The down side to
this was that The Asto Vidatu as very light armor instead relying primarily on
speed, maneuverability and its shields for defense. The lightweight Agrinium minorily
counter acts the Neuranium dust in weight bringing the ship to a reasonable
lift capability. The final upgrade Master Prajak made to the ship was to integrate
specially designed escape/boarding pods in to the ship. The pods could be used
both as escape pods but also to assault a vessel much in the way droid assault
pods are used, impacting a vessel cutting in and opening dropping off the
people inside. The Asto Vidatu was Master Prajak’s personal
ship and home for ten years before bringing another friendly living person on
board in her Padawan Sovin. Sovin has changed the look of the ship extensively
after inheriting it from Master Prajak.
||OOC Data on The Asto Vidatu||
The current owner Sovin inherited it from her former Master
along with the operations it had been equipped to support. She immediately
threw herself in to heavily modifying the ship a process she had already begun
while working with Master Prajak once she showed the aptitude. She had already
modified the flight controls and the engine to some degree at the time of
Master Prajak’s passing. These
modifications kicked in to an even higher state and extended to the rest of the
ships systems as Sovin reworked the entire ship, converting rooms, upgrading
defenses and armaments. Most notably and strikingly visually is the integration
of a Rakatan force drive core in to her ships systems as well as other Rakatan
technology give the ship a distinctive profile. This combined with the specialized
power conversion module and the duel phase shield array cause The Asto Vidatu
to bear an eerily holocron like appearance. This drive system allows the ship
to run “silent” with respect to conventional sensors switching to propulsion
via Force. Operating the Asto Vidatu like this requires at minimum one person
to power the drive core and one person to fly, it’s preferable that both are
Force users the more powerful the more efficient the system works. When done efficiently
the agility of The Asto Vidatu in this mode is extraordinary. This stealth mode
has several disadvantages in sub light operations it cuts the Asto Vidatu’s
speed in half as well as causing a drop in overall energy output. The
conversion module partially corrects this but still leaves the lasers at
twenty- five percent strength and the shields at seventy – five percent of
optimal. In hyperspace flight this mode causes the ship to only be able to
travel to and from worlds strong in the Force. Tython to Korriban for example would
be silent and easy, whereas Coruscant to Nar Shaddaa would not be possible. One
final note in reference to the propulsion system the power conversion module
can be used to boost the Asto Vidatu’s speed when the ship is functioning in
normal mode, though doing so in Hyperspace causes some unusual distortive
affects aboard the Asto Vidatu ranging from temporal displacement to
hallucinations or visions. It’s best to sleep or meditate for as much of the journey
as possible assuming someone is not powering the drive core at the moment.
The final two modifications Sovin has added to The Asto
Vidatu are the security system and the E.I.S Detention unit. Sovin also
installed a multilayer defense system to keep unwanted guests from coming
aboard during times when the ship is docked. It’s purportedly quiet lethal and
as to date none have been able to enter the ship undetected or alive without
prior authorization. The security system uses technological, biological and
force sensitivity in its multi-layer defense. The E.I.S Detention Unit is a holding
cell built in to a room on the lower deck. E.I.S stands for Enhanced Interrogation
Suite, and the room is specifically designed with particular respect to those
attuned to the Force.
All of these modifications make the Asto Vidatu a very
stealthy fast ship with reasonable but limited weaponry and light defenses. She’s
preferable for covert operations and quick strikes over a straight up fight or prolonged
space battle. The Asto Vidatu also makes an excellent recon, valuable for rapid
insertion or exfiltration and singular person detention vessel. All which
perfectly aligns to the assignments that Master Prajak use to get and that
Sovin does get now.
