Guardian (Freighter)

The Guardian is a heavily modified CEC Class VI Freighter, owned by Cadden Blackthorne. Cadden purchased this ship in a junkyard at Nar Shaddaa, as it was due to becoming scrapped. Intrigued by its general design, he then had his sons, Jerik and Guan, as well as his HRD, Neddac, help him take it to Taylon. There, they began the gruelling process of modifying the craft to fit their needs.

This particular craft was restored to manufacturer-quality and, with the help of several allies of Cadden's, three-quarters of the ship's cargo capacity was stripped in favor of a small, almost cramped hangar bay, capable of fitting four fighters comfortably enough. Branded with the insignia of the Guardians of the Force, Cadden and his allies completely redesigned the interior of this craft to be a mobile base of operations for the small group of Force users. With half of its remaining cargo space converted into training and studying rooms, and the other half for storage and cargo, the Guardian has become the very roaming symbol of the group it serves.

Another modification that was put into place was the installment of two tractor beams, for use of the hangar bay, as well as two dual turbolaser turrets to fend off small-time capital ship threats and to help defend against starfighter and small freighter attacks. Though deemed somewhat anti-productive, Cadden sees this application as a means of defending this costly investment, as the four star fighters stationed on this craft can easily help defeat any threats.
