Attention all pirates, smugglers, and privateers! Got any old ships you want to get rid of? Need a newer, faster ride? The Romano Cartel is hosting a Starship Swap Meet at our base of opperations, the Super Star Destroyer, Bari. Co-ordinates are includded in this message. Simply contact our ship's A.I. for docking instructions. Just want to sell an old clunker? We're willing to trade supplies, weapons, etc. Come one, come all!

(ooc: Just RP your ship[s] arriving and contact the A.I.)

Greetings, this is Captain Sargent Smithers and this is my Aide Marcus Ohyes, we will be arriving in our ship, The Lady Luck. We are not selling the lady luck, but rather are selling two Asteroid Legion Ships. We look forward to doing business with the Super Star Destroyer Bari.

The Specs are as follows:

2 Asteroid Legion Gunships-- Old Model:

Length: 500 Meter Long Cylinder 20 meter radius= 40 meters wide.
Armor: 3 meters of nickel iron, 2 Meters of heat steel (a highly heat resistant version of steel with tungsten and other alloys mixed in), 500 mm of polarized ceramic armor. Compartmentalized internal structure, so damaged sections can be sealed and the ship can continue fighting.
Shields: Gravitophotonic repulsor shielding. Internal structural integrity fields.
Generators: 3 Tokamak Fusion Generators
Drives: Burkhard Heim Hyperspace Drive, Impeller Impulse Drive.
Special Features: Internal Gravity Field Generators.
Weapons: 6 Tribarrel 155 mm rapid fire coil gun turrets, 10 particle beam turrets, 5 faceted cutting laser turrets, 4 Forward Facing Heavy Torpedo Tubes.

Sargent and Marcus hail the destroyer. We also are offering 10 units each of these two standard heavy troop weapons.

35mm Fusion beam Cannon. This comes with a standard 20 kilogram backpack containing a sonofusion containment bottle. This cannon requires a tripod, or mounting for powered armor.

Rail sniper rifle. This is a long range rail rifle which fires a 20mm fullerene tungsten slug. It has a standard box magazine with 8 shots. The maximum effective range is 3 kilometers. It is basically a line of sight weapon.

Attention Captain Smithers. This is A.I. Vesta. Your offer has been passed on to Antonio Romano, and he askes what you would like for trade. Are you looking for money, ships, supplies, or other merchandise? Also, you have been cleared for Docking Port 13. Please follow the becon.

Captain Smithers, "We are mainly interested in acquiring new military technology, especially illicit, classified, next generation, secret, or forbidden technology. We are looking for unique technologies and manufacturing methodologies. We would like fabber blueprints, nanoconstruction instructions, and other materials."

The Lady Luck follows the docking becon to entry 13. The ship looks like a rebuilt salvage ship. It has various bulges of turrets, and other equipment. Strangely enough it also has salvage tractor beams and other garbage cleanup equipment as well.

Jagge stood by the airlock for Docking Port 13. Being one of the two Ferengi acting as "salesmen" for the Cartel, he waited with a list of 'merchandise' to offer the newcomers. Looking down, he checked his PADD. Armor specs, check. Micro-torps, check. Phaser riffles, check. Ship list, check. Suddenly, a flash of light interupted his mental checklist. Jagge looked up, and right into the eyes of the ship's A.I., Vesta (http://unscleric.com/sitebuilder/images/Cortanaletterpic-202x241.jpg).
"The Lady Luck is docking now," she said. "Can you handle it from here?"
"Yes," replied Jagge. "You may go."
"Whatever." the A.I. sighed. "It's not like I have to DO anything around here," she said with sarcasm. With another flash, she was gone.
Finally, Jagge thought. He had a distrust of A.I.'s. A clank from the airlock caught his attention. He walked towards the door. Showtime...
