(Please watch this opening crawl, I worked hard on it, and hope to do more for you all!)<br/>https://youtu.be/_mgzGCYNPuc (https://youtu.be/_mgzGCYNPuc)<br/><br/><br/><div class="floatright">(https://i.gyazo.com/94a3afa62706853efe1232d14198816c.jpg)</div>The interior of the ship is clean and surprisingly well-appointed for such a small vessel known for a lack of creature comforts.  Polished brass fittings and Wroshyr wood paneling cover a great deal of the ship's walls and bulkheads.  Soft illumination is spread across the walls and ceiling of the ship, recessed into smooth blown glass rectangles that punctuate the spaces of the bulkheads.<br/><br/>When shown by the little droid Uffel to the modest quarters allotted for the crew, you find that each personal space is likewise wood-paneled, possesses deep wood shelves for personal effects, a small pull-out closet with coat-rack, and has heavy curtains that run on tracks, adding privacy to the area around the bunk.  The bunks themselves are made of high-quality gel-mattresses, with rich comforters and smooth silky sheets.  In addition, there are personal terminals with entertainment libraries embedded by each bunk.  Apparently the captain invested heavily into making the accommodations more than luxurious for passengers and crew.<br/><br/>The galley is likewise small, but make efficient use of the space allotted for its use.  Well-stocked with a variety of food rations, it even posses three spigots of drink nozzles dispensing cola, photon-fizzle, and spice-runner cidar.  A collapsible burner-oven and stove are stowed inside a wall-unit, popping out for use and then folding back into the wall when no longer needed.  There is a narrow Wroshyr-wood table likewise that folds out, allowing three to dine at a time in the fashion of a diner counter.<br/><br/>The Captain does not lead anyone to the cockpit, but neither does he forbid anyone from peeking at it.  A canny spacer can see the entire console has been upgraded and refitted, allowing for a great deal of flexibility across various nook stations spread across the ship.  Two people can fit in the primary control area of the cockpit, while there is a secondary set of control terminals on the half-deck below them, as well as system terminals and secondary gunnery controls in the lower decks of the ship's 'spur' that just over the primary hull.  Those will knowledge of starship piloting and gunnery can observe right off that the ship has been significantly upgraded across all of its already potent defensive systems.<br/><br/>The weaponry of the ship still includes the blaster cannons as well as the ion cannon, but both seem to have been upgraded beyond stock configurations.  Targeting sensors likewise were after-market military-spec quality.  But the most glaring addition to the weaponry would be the notation of several racks of proton torpedoes, ready to be fired from what appeared to be scavenged s-foils from an ancient Kuat Drives gunship, barely compatible with the later Kuat Systems pinnace.  The foils had been mounted to the sides of the vessel, alongside shielded housings containing fighter-type maneuvering thrusters.  The ship's shields, already known to be solid and well-beyond most vessels of its class, had also been replaced with shield generators that were rated for small capital class vessels.<br/><br/>The cargo hold is seemingly where some sacrifice of space was made to accommodate some of the modifications made the ship.  Originally made to store twenty tons of cargo space, the modified hold seems to have been cut down by half.  Much of the empty space seems still ample, able to carry many crates of precious cargo, so long as they were not overly voluminous.  The canny spacer might realize, that quite a few carbon-frozen individuals could be stacked here and not cost any of the precious living space and life-support from the rest of the ship.<br/><br/>The small band of refugees found themselves settling into the new accommodations quickly enough, having found a safe moment of breath and opportunity to rest.  The small droid Uffel continued to load the remaining comtonos of cargo up and down the landing ramp, and it seemed as if there would be at least an hour before the ship would be ready to take off...
