Buying my first ship.

[Sten the Chimp]

Is there a rent to own program. I'm a little short on cash, and I want a ship like Boba Fett's. Do you think you could help me?

[Nichos Marr]

"Well...we don't really have a rent system. But I believe you are looking for 'Kuat System's Engineering limited-production, high-speed Firespray-class ship'. I don't think we build those here. I believe they stopped making them."

Nichos pulls out a datapad and scorlls down.

"You could try for a 'MandalMotors Pursuer enforcement ship' which is very similar, yet it doesn't have as much features as the one that Boba Fett owns."

He types for a few seconds.

"Unfortunately, it does cost a lot...any other ships you had in mind?"

[Sten the Chimp]

How 'bout a V-Wing?

[Nichos Marr]

That would be 50K and one day. It should be done by tomorrow. And since this is your first time buying a ship here, I'll cut the price in half...how does that sound?

[Sten the Chimp]

"Okie-day. Finally, I have a ship! Thanks for the help. And, I happen to have 25K on me, so here you go!"

::Hands Nichos the 25K. Hops in the V-Wing. He sinks into the cockpit seats.

"Very nice! Very nice indeed! Thanks! And come back to help me with the Garden sometime!"

::Hits the button to start the engine. It hums to life, and he hits the ignition, and the sleekly built V-Wing, with modified Gatling blasters, and a very powerful engine, soars into the air. Sten waves goodbye to Nichos just before he activates the hyperdrive and zips into hyperspace.

[Nichos Marr]

Nichos thinks for a moment holding the briefcase full of credits.

"What in the Sith am I going to do with 25 K..."

[General Dodonna]

You idiots! V-Wings are airspeeders-they don't have sublight drives OR hyperdrives!

:: Watches the chimp's ship crash back onto land and shakes his head. ::

Now that's a shame.

[Sten the Chimp]

::Climbs out of the wrecked ship and finds himself intact.

"OOPS. Well, I better fix it. Can a sublight or hyperdrive engine be put in? And if so, can you help me with it?"

[Nichos Marr]

"You'd have to ask Dodonna."

[Sten the Chimp]

Mr. Dodonna, is it possible to put a sublight or hyperdrive engine into a V-Wing?

[General Dodonna]

"Hardly. You'd be better off to purchase an E-Wing or X-Wing."

[Sten the Chimp]

What does an E-Wing look like (besides an "E")? Can you show me a pic of one?

[General Dodonna]

Imagine an X-Wing, but without the two upper wings. In their place is a single cannon which struts out from the fuselage.

[Sten the Chimp]

In your own opinion, which is better? V-Wing or E-Wing.
