The first of a new class of cruise ship, the Imperial Cruise Ship Titanic is soon to set sail, and numerous patrons have booked hundreds of luxury cabins (10,000 credits for First Class alone) in anticipation of the maiden voyage of this new liner! We anticipate no problems during the maiden voyage, but just in case, there are enough lifeboats for every passenger.

(It also vaguely resembles the original sealiner but with an organic flair, see below)

Stats:
2,000 meters long
3 Cygnus Spaceworks Gemon-4 Ion Engines
Hyperdrive: Ethera Class-2 hyperdrive
room for 4,000 passengers and 750 crew
8 laser cannons and powerful deflector shields for defense against pirates.
Enough lifeboats and escape pods for everyone

Captain Jason C. Smithston, a grandfatherly 58-year-old veteran, smiles softly as he speaks with crew and the younger passengers. He wonders briefly about the name chosen, which was rather controversal, but shakes his head. Nope, not going to happen this time around!
Imperial Cruise Line CEO Kiertan Maynor and his family of wife and four children are excited to attend this grand voyage, and are ready to set sail as soon as everything is ready.

The terminal was packed with people, waiting to go. The CEO managed to get his family to the VIP line, but there are still a lot of people.

DING! "Will all passengers with cabins A1 to A200 please have your tickets ready before you board."

A band of Space Pirates had picked up the liner when it was being built but attacking a empty ship was a supid idea. as the Space Pirate fleet was a Cross of Dark Empire ships, Coreworld ships and other Space races it had advatages and disadvatages.
Makeing a DIY job of the Tigerclaw Destroyer to have CoreWorlds Deflector shields tho it did normal blow after about 8 shots with even the lightest weapon.
with the Destoyer and the Dreadnought they would attack the ship, with Makeshift breaching pods on the Coreworld ships and the other alien ships they would bord it and then loot it.
simple job with a simple plan all they had to do was wait till it was far away from any Coreworld or infact any Outposts, then Scrable the Comms and Raid the ship.

bump

er...bump..it's open, you know.

OOC: Ok, the regenade Core ship that your pirate fleet have CorpSac, cannot be larger than a Nebulon-B Frigate (as a flagship), as you are talking about pirates.

IC:
A ship horn sounds inside the terminal. That is the signal that it will be 12 hours before the ship leaves from the Coredia Spacedocks to Hapes(where else?), a trip that is expected to take one and a half weeks.
