[PC] the Matriarch

Straddling the border between starfighter and haulcraft, the Matriarch was a highly modified Corellian Engineering Corporation design. A smaller, sleeker model of ship, it would’ve utilized space underneath the cockpit as a cargo handling system. Instead in the hands of o’Hat Meyno, the area was turned into a mount for a double laser cannon turret. Her modifications to the ship brought it from the edge of haulcraft into the territory of a heavy starfighter. 

The Matriarch was equipped with heavy plating and increased deflector shields for greater durability. It featured an abundance of engines, allowing the ship to reach speeds greater than it was built for. To compensate for this, much of the ship was reinforced against these greater speeds. A tradeoff that saw the cargo hold lessened to make room for the modifications. Other modifications included a set of two light laser turrets mounted to the side of the ship, lateral fins used for greater maneuverability and a communications array used for encrypted messaging.

Through o’Hat’s employ, the Matriarch saw action from dogfights to smuggling runs to escort missions. As a mercenary’s ship it was versatile and able to accommodate whatever was called for.
