The Wayward Sun - K4N-545

## Armament

The Wayward Sun has a single turret mounted quad-laser cannon located right above the galley section and the docking collar. A retractable ladder comes down from the ceiling allowing the gunner to occupy the turret should the captain want someone to control the gun manually instead of having the ship AI do it. Once the gunner is in place, the ladder retracts and the turret seals behind them.

The only other weapon on the Wayward Sun is the SunFire Arms Heavy Laser Cannon mounted directly under the bridge. It is controlled by the pilot and can only be fired in the forward arc. Unlike most, this laser cannon can be fired by voice command, as the ship's AI can take over the targeting if the pilot is not able to.

With the ship's cargo container is permanently fixed instead of detachable like most Wayfarer Class Transports, part of the cargo hold has been converted into a small hangar for the ARC-170 Starfighter that is onboard. There is room for one more small craft such as another starfighter.

## Cargo

The Wayfarer Class Transport is normally rated to carry 220 tons of cargo. A majority of this being in the detachable cargo container. However the Wayward Sun's cargo capacity is slightly less, at 200 tons, again, with a majority of that being in the cargo container. This space was given up in order to make way for the various enhancements made by the two previous captains.

The ship carries enough supplies to allow it to stay out for three months without resupply when fully stocked.

## Modifications

Under Captain Seylize Jer'ko, the focus was on smuggling and the hyperdrive. As a result, their are smuggler's compartments scattered about the ship. The hyperdrive also has some extensive modifications that requirement more space and modifications (some possibly illegal) that now allow the Wayward Sun to achieve .5 past lightspeed. and to make jumps faster with an Advanced Navicomputer.

Because Cpt. Jer'ko did not trust many of his crew, Advanced Slave Circuitry and a base A.I. was added , easing the need for crew and allowing him to automate functions that were only accessible to him, but again, at a cost of space since these additions required larger computing components and hardware to enable.

Cpt Shane Duskrunner and his wife, Kita'kimi, made more changes after the mutiny that saw Jer'ko displaced as owner. Using a significant financial windfall, they permanently fixed the cargo container to the ship, while upgrading all the crew and passenger quarters to basic luxury accommodations. Efficiency and comfort being the primary focus along with privacy. A Holonet Transceiver was added as an upgrade in order to be able to receive information faster and stay ahead of any Imperial or rival ships.

They also added an rotating ID transponder, this allowed them to change the ship's identity from one of three without need for extensive reprogramming. The current IDs stored are:

– EL-1139 Electra Chronis

– KA5-Z2 Waylight

- K4N-545 Wayward Sun

These IDs can be changed with reprogramming and software changes, but this requires work that involves the hyperdrive being offline.

With Cpt. Domda Stig, the restraining programs that were put in place after Jer'ko had regained control of the ship have been removed. The A.I. now acts more independently and is able to assist in more functions. Small cybernetic links and relays allow the Cpt to "talk" to the A.I. from anywhere in the ship and the relay of information is much faster.
