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.

The Crimson Tide is owned by Atton Kira in the The Force Awakens era.

History

The Iego Angel was custom built for Atton Kira a few years after the Clone Wars, paid for with the remnants of his father's fortune. It was the perfect craft for a young and wealthy trust fund socialite: fast, elegant, and comfortable. When Kira began his career as a Holonet News reporter - a cover for his information broker activities - he made a number of modifications to the ship, converting it to run primarily on automated and droid-controlled systems, installing military grade holonet transceivers, and an assortment of codebreaking and intelligence-gathering hardware. He also remodelled the cockpit: two primary consoles accommodated a pilot to the right and a copilot to the left; a communications terminal and astromech socket to the rear provided access to the transceivers and nav computer; and down a short ramp to the bow, an extra console with manual (sublight) flight controls and weapons controls gave Atton the ability to fly the craft into and out of danger on his own.

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.

Internal Configuration

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", and was where Sadie K'Vesh set up her slicing equipment
• 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
