USH'S STAR WARS GAME- The Hangar Bay (Player Starships)
About time I got a good reference thread going for player starships! Here we shall keep the stats for your ships plus your descriptions of them.
Starship rules are in a the main rules thread. If you have your own ship (generally with the Starship merit), simply pick a relevant ship that you want yours to be equivalent to.
Rules for player starships may be tweaked over time, but no promises.
Post your descriptions below; I'll add them in.
Galder has a customized Heavy Starfighter, Paladin, stolen from a shipyard sometime after Kuylen's disappearance. The cockpit is sleek and narrow, with a pilot seat and rear-facing gunner seat. A pair of massive engines make up the bulk of the ship, large cylindrical thrusters on either side of the cockpit. It has a pair of blast cannons at the ship's nose and a torpedo launcher just underneath. A pair of small wings are curved to the shape of the engines and lined with ion panels for assisting with power.
The New Beginning is a big hocking ship that used to be part of a pirate slaver trade. Xavier came to it after leading a slave revolt against the slavers.
Due to the nature of it's purpose the ship was as big as possible to carry the maximum amount of prisoners. Since many of the pirates raids took place on worlds that had some defense the ships were also very heavily armored and were equipped with as much firepower as possible.
Xavier has made modifications to it over the years to make it more comfortable to his 'friends' so they aren't sleeping in a cold holding cargo area on long trips.
The Free Flier is a small freighter given to Wentar by a wealthy industrialist, after rescuing the man from a kidnapping he just happened to stumbled upon while passing through a starport during one of his first missions as a Jedi Knight.
It's a reliable vessel, Wentar's grown use to how it handles over the years. Emso Crubo makes sure it leaves as good as new whenever it's brought in for repairs, though it still has a few battle wounds from the Battle for the Seat and the Battle of Alura.

The Black Dawn is, in practice, probably a Small Freighter. Conceptually similar to a B-52, it's an Arnian military ship with a forward cockpit and aft area for payload, whether cargo or bombs.
It was stolen by Tyra Manette's group when they kidnapped Dak to escape Arnia, and when he snapped he took the ship for his own. I think there was originally a droid to pilot it for him, but I'm not sure.
Denz was testing out a Jedi Starfighter prototype for the Jedi Order that was in consideration for use by Jedi Knights to replace the Delta 6 short range starfighter. This included several variations of the Delta 7 design. Along with older designs. Denz was testing out one varient of the Delta 7 that will eventually be rejected as it was deemed too costly for the already expensive fighter, but during the early stages of the Clone Wars later will be reconsidered by many Jedi including Plo Kloon as Jedi begin to choose their own craft. And/or modify their own such as Jedi Master Saesee Tiin had begun doing. Denzral was later allowed to continue use of the craft after he had completed the tests (or something along those lines). The biggest difference was the ability to use a full sized astromech driod and the position/location of the droid socket. There were some early experimental craft that had built in hyperdrives without the requirement of a docking ring also.
(I may be wrong on the history there, so forgive me)
Jelena flies the Sunlit Dancer, a sleek white torpedo-shaped craft with sweeping arched wings that go out to either side, and a narrow tailfin off the rear. A single thruster is at the craft's back, and a single blaster cannon at the nose. It is a Light Fighter with sitting for a pilot and a navigator, which Jelena added once she took a Padawan.
Xeth's well-known ship is the Nexu's Grin, a Geonosian freighter craft that has been heavily modified to give Xeth access to heavier armor and weaponry. The previously unarmed craft is needle-shaped, like most Geonosian fighters, except the back end is wider to accomodate for more passengers (instead of cargo, as it originally did). Inside, Xeth has a dock for R3-U9, his astromech droid, as well as a small ladder that gives access to the topside cockpit. A bubble cockpit is situated at the front of the craft, between the pronged needles of the nose, with extra blaster cannons and torpedo launchers located on the sides of the ship.
The Nexu's Grin is a Large Ship.
