so please enjoy and be patient

As the gunship landed its troop compartment opened to allow the numerous droids, Greg, and Cikzoo to step off looking up at the towering ship in front of them that was now his. Looking around Greg saw dozens of PIT model droids and a few GONK power droids wandering about loading the ship with crate after crate. "As you can see." Cikzoo waved her hand at all the commotion "we have already brought over all of your other droids and a full loadout of foodstuffs along with a few extra goodies ill show off later"

As they walked around the ship Cikzoo pointed out various points of interest at a length of thirty-seven meters which was over twice the length of an Apache attack helicopter with almost a twenty-inch thick Trimantium-Doonium mix armor. As well as shielding a pair of 49-v99 Deflector generators to round out the defenses. Pointing to a pair of orbs one on top in the middle of the ship and another under the large engines "and those are the escape pods they can hold six beings each for over a week on internal supplies." giving a small clap she turned to look at me with a small fire in her eyes "and now on to the offensive systems."

As we started our second lap she pointed out weapons emplacements mentioning how the previous owners at the Anti-pirate fleet in the Axxila system had removed the concussion missile turret and replaced it with a second quad laser cannon turret making them cover the forward top and the original aft and bottom and following up on a pair of medium Ion cannons, on independent mounts on either side of the ship giving the weapons a 360-degree firing arc ensuring no blind spots.

Once again approaching the front of the large ship Cikzoo motioned toward the ramp as we walked inside was full of the rest of my PITs and Gonk droids as machinery were tested and repaired as needed. "off to the left and right are the primary cargo bays" she informed me looking inside I saw a huge room with less than a dozen crates in each of them getting an idea I turn to ask "are there airlocks in these?"

She looked at the datapad and glanced around to confirm the information "no but I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to install one."

A grin slowly spread as an idea came to me. I didn't say anything as we continued through the door in the back of the shop into a small ladder room going up and down she pointed up "heading up will head to the bridge and control deck heading down is the first of the two escape pods. As we moved on we passed a pair of smaller storage bays "these bays have been repurposed into charging bays for the droids with a central fusion power generator," inside one was a Gonk with a cable attached to its side a yellow light blinking indicating charging in the other was three Pit droids also charging.

Moving on just behind them were three cabins for what the navy on earth would call enlisted crew quarters, fully furnished with a bed, desk/holotable, and a closet/dresser. The fourth had been turned into an armory mostly empty but there were a few weapon racks, workbenches, and equipment shelves, but were otherwise empty.

After that was a full bathroom for the enlisted crew, nothing too special a toilet and a sink.

Followed by a large open room that served as the ship's common area, galley, and sickbay. The common area was very military-minded in its setup two couches a table several chairs a few slightly overgrown planted bushes with what looked like large nectarines so fresh fruits and oxygen recycling. With a ladder in its center leading upwards only. The galley was filled with floor-to-ceiling freezers and coolers with a large island with a dishwasher and oven underneath. The medical area had a pair of beds and a single medical droid sitting in an alcove shut down.

After that was what the navy would again call officer country. On either side of the common room was an officer's cabin double the size of the enlisted rooms with their own bathroom with actual water showers instead of the sonic showers in the enlisted. The bedrooms were more lavishly furnished as well with a large bed a full desk a small walk-in closet with carpeted floors instead of the bare metal deck plating.

Behind the kitchen was engineering never was all that mechanically inclined but inside were a dozen Pit droids looking everything over.

As we took the ladder for the control deck and bridge we came across the ship's main airlock with a dozen EVA suits and a pair of thruster's packs hanging on the walls. As we walked through the small walkway we passed the ship's second escape pod.

Entering a conference room I was unsurprised that throwing in the advanced tech it looks almost the same as any conference room id ever been in, with a view screen and a hologram table surrounded by a dozen chairs. Passing that was a small room with storage lockers and the first ladder that led down to the maintenance bay.

Then we entered the cockpit and it was nostalgic it was almost an exact copy of the falcon's cockpit the only difference was the large windows that stretched behind the control console giving me a full view of the gunship outside and the landscape beyond.
