(formerly Iego Angel)
(Backup) Class 7.0
Originally the Iego Angel, this yacht was the personal yacht of Holonet News reporter Atton Kira, until the ship was stolen from a starport on Nar Shaddaa by the Montegue brothers, and renamed Crimson Tide.
Extensively modified, the Tide carries one auxiliary craft - the Hunter II, a vintage Y-Wing - and is crewed predominantly by droids, with the exception of Vittore Montegue and Sadie K'Vesh, for whom the Tide is their permanent residence.
History
Atton Kira lost ownership of the Angel while on Nar Shaddaa, when the ship was stolen by Vittore Montegue and his brother. Fortunately, Atton's insurance policy deemed the ship irrevocably lost, and so when Atton and Vittore found themselves in a working relationship some years later, Vittore had inadvertently been responsible for a sizeable windfall for Atton. Using his underworld connections, Vittore obtained new transponder codes; the Angel became the Crimson Tide, and a number of structural tweaks were made - including a new paint job - to help obscure the structural fingerprint of her old identity.
Vittore modified the ship extensively, converting the cargo hold into a drop bay in which the Hunter II - his vintage BTL-B Y-Wing Starfighter - could be stored and launched. Several of the passenger compartments were converted to other functions to make up for the lost space:
- Cabin 9 (starboard aft) became an interrogation room and holding cell for bounty targets
- Cabin 8 (port aft) became "Katie's Room", a storeroom for repair supplies
- Cabin 6 (port aft-but-one) became "Bee's Room", a makeshift medi-bay
- Cabin 5 became "Sleazy's Room", where Sadie K'Vesh set up her slicing equipment after she became part of the crew
- Cabin 4 and 7 were kept as passenger cabins, but with security locks installed on all so they could be used as makeshift cells
- Cabin 3 was "Cammy's Room", and became the de facto armoury after he left
- Cabin 2 had been Vittore's room while his brother was aboard, and became "Sadie's Room"
- Cabin 1 (front & center), the "Captain's" luxury stateroom, became Vittore's room after Cambrio left
Crew
