Asagov Raider The Asagov Raider , formerly known as the Cekbar Servant , was a Corellian Engineering Corporation Action IV transport operating during the early years of the New Republic . Originally a merchant vessel registered to Nalroni businessmen on the trading world of Celanon , the ship was captured by the Saurton pirate Miktiss around 7 ABY . Miktiss had the vessel heavily modified and renamed as the " Asagov Raider " , using the medium bulk freighter as his flagship and as the command base of the Des ' maric Pirates . The " Asagov Raider " was a mobile headquarters for the organization while they operated in the Kathol sector in 8 ABY . Description . The " Asagov Raider " was a Corellian Engineering Corporation Action IV transport . Like other Action IVs , the vessel was trapezoidal in shape and measured 100 meters in length . Although standard models came unarmed , the " Asagov Raider " was heavily modified to serve as a pirate vessel by the Saurton Miktiss . The ship boasted eight ion cannons and twelve double laser cannons . The ion cannons were placed evenly around the medium bulk freighter for maximum coverage , while the laser cannons were concentrated to the fore , with some weapons covering the port and starboard fire arcs . Other modifications included stronger shield generators , increased sublight speed , and detention cells on the lower level . The ship was equipped with a navigation computer for plotting hyperspace jumps , and a Class 3 hyperdrive , with a Class 15 as a backup . Crewed by fifteen beings , the " Asagov Raider " also required a complement of forty gunners to operate effectively . A skeleton crew of eight personnel and ten gunners could run the ship , but at a cost of efficiency . The vessel could carry 60 , 000 metric tons of cargo , and store consumables for the crew to last 3 months . History . Commissioned as a medium bulk freighter , the " Cekbar Servant " was originally owned by a consortium of Nalroni merchants from the planet Celanon , a major trade world in the Outer Rim Territories . Around 7 ABY , the Saurton pirate Miktiss , head of the Des ' maric Pirates , captured the vessel shortly after acquiring a trio of Skipray Blastboats from the planet Elshandruu Pica . Realizing that , in its current state , it was not a vessel fit for piracy , Miktiss forced a former Sienar Fleet Systems engineer — through a combination of blackmail and bargaining — to modify the ship to his specifications . The engineer complied , fitting the ship out with extra weapons , stronger shield generators , and a faster sublight drive . Renamed as the " " Asagov Raider " , " the ship served as a mobile command base for the Des ' maric Pirates while they operated within the Kathol sector around 8 ABY . Despite being a formidable raiding vessel , the ship was generally kept away from combat areas to keep it safe . Although fully capable of subduing merchant freighters and similar vessels , a single Imperial cruiser or escort frigate could have easily destroyed the vessel . Commanders and crew . Crewed by some of the less - skilled members of the organization — Miktiss regularly assigned his best pirates to the three Skipray Blastboats that would see actual combat — the vessel was known for its loose discipline . However , during combat situations , the personnel stationed on board were capable of performing like a military crew . Behind the scenes . The " Asagov Raider " only appearance has been in " The DarkStryder Campaign " , a supplement for " " published by West End Games in 1995 , where it is described as the flagship and command base of the Des ' maric Pirates . The vessel is never encountered in any of the adventures , being detailed only in the " Rogues Gallery " section of the book , written by Bill Smith . The inclusion of the vessel is to allow the gamemaster to use it in an original adventure . Under its original name , " " Cekbar Servant " , " the vessel appears to be named for the continent of Cekbar on the planet Celanon . When it was renamed by Miktiss , the vessel appears to have taken its name from the city of Asagov , a settlement on the Saurton homeworld of Essowyn .
