Special Gear: 1 (Troop Capacity)
Weapons:
Maximum Atmospheric Speed: 800 KM/H
Hyperdrive Rating: Class 2.0
Back-up Hyperdrive: Class 12
Troop/Passenger Capacity: 6-10
Description:
The SS-54 light assault gunship, also known as the SS-54 assault ship, was a model of gunship manufactured by Botajef Shipyards. Intended as the company's first foray into the military market, the gunship instead became popular with mercenaries and bounty hunters.
Botajef Shipyards, a small shipbuilding firm based on the Outer Rim world of Botajef, conceived of the SS-54 assault ship as a gunship worthy of competing with other starship models on the military market such as the GAT-12 Skipray and the Firespray-31-class patrol craft. Despite this, it was erroneously classified as a light freighter by the Galactic Empire, an error which, due to the nature of Imperial bureaucracy, was never rectified.
With a bulbous and well-armored command deck and a hull tapering from the prow, the SS-54 was described as having an insect-like profile. Its high, squared-off stern was comparable to that of the Republic Military LAAT/c heavy vehicle carrier. Two adjustable spars protruded towards the aft of the ship (one on each side), with each spar connecting to the SS-54's powerful Incom HA-980a H/O ion engines. Given its military role, the craft's standard armament consisted of four fire-linked ZX7 medium laser cannons mounted forward in the prow and a twin light laser turret mounted dorsally, aft of the engine spars.
