Red Dragon

History
The Red Dragon is not very well known out side of being a independently owned heavy frieghter. The Crew tend to take on jobs that others would find too dangerous, like flying through pirate patroled space. But the ship and crew always make their deadlines and deliver the cargo, sometimes while turning in the very pirates others were scared of.

Construction
The ship was hand made in orbit around Raxus Prime. There, large and specific portions of three class's of ship were brought together. A Class VI freighter, Praetorian-class frigate, and a Thranta-class warship were the three ships that would make up the frame and hull. These three ships were picked because they were basically the same ship, so parts from each ship should fit together with little problems. Each had unique characteristics and Slade wanted to mix and match them into one ship. The Class VI would provide the "newest tech" that was aforded to this class of ship, being that is was the latest version. While the Praetorian and Thranta would provide more, heavyer, weapon mounts as well as the hanger that would double as a cargo bay. When the best wrecks were found, they were brought into orbit and the task of carefully taking them apart and taking inventory of parts was left to a group of profesional technicians, ship designers and construction droids. They migth not have been employees of some huge ship yard but each one of them made there own names in custom builds.

The great thing about Raxus Prime was that its were a lot of class of ships were junked for one reason or another. A great deal of other parts were found and brought up to be used on Slade's ship. A great deal of Nebulon-B Frigate parts and system were found in nearly perfect working order, these system along with others from even newer ships found on the surface would be a huge advancement for the ship.

Once everythnig was squared away the ships consruction began, when it was finished it looked like a old decrepid Class VI, but it was space worthy. The final touchs would be done at one of the ship designers personal dock.

First Modification
The trip from Raxus Prime to the private dock was mostly a shake down flight, to see what needed to be replace, reworked or upgraded. The list was pretty long when they got to the dock, and work began shortly after they got there. Slade's connectinos with the black market and other sources would quickly get them the parts and upgrades needed to finish the ship... Again.

When finished the ship was everything Slade could have wanted. It was Powerful, versitile, and heavily armed. But no one would be able to tell any of that from just looking at it or even from passive scans. A ship that was perfect as a freighter or a war ship, just what Slade wanted.

2nd Modification
During the Xen'Chi War the ship had suffered through some heavy fighting. Slade thought it be a good time for a over haul and upgrade, given the ship was over 10 years old by this time. Again Slade called out to his contacts and shopped the Blackmarket. The ship was brought up to date system and part wise, but he mannaged to give the Red Dragon some new teeth. Xen'Chi Plasma weapons, six of them, replaced the 6 retractible light turbolaser cannons along the sides of the ship. While it did cause some problems with the power grid, the issue was soon resolved.
