Vespidian

***Vespidian*** was an Ithullan ore hauler that served as headquarters for a group of adventurers beginning in 10BBY. The derelict ship built from the husk of a Colossus wasp had drifted abandoned for centuries before being discovered. Verdan Mordock and Gavril Constantin spearheaded the renovation of the massive vessel following a mission to Xa Fel with Calhan Draco. Many months were spent on ship upgrades, assembling a crew, and hunting for usable resources.

Starships typically docked aboard *Vespidian* were *Pikobi*, *Doomcharger*, *Scalphunter*, *PB-950* and *Talonfire*. The starfighters of Zillo Squadron were also housed there.

## Cache Raids

The crew of *Vespidian* were sent on many "cache raid" missions to procure much needed supplies. They traveled to Wakeelmui, Nyriaan, Urthak, Reytha, Bothustine, Axion, Mandalore, Tuulab, Polyneus, Anu-El, Deneba and Bomis Koori IV. They discovered the treasure room of Santo Ardes on Eredenn IV, and also recovered smuggled diamonds from Arkania. On another occasion, they provided arbitration for the Tribe of Rawld. They also destroyed an ancient war stockpile found by the Wroonian Salvagers' Guild. Other cache raids saw them visit Ord Antalaha.

Yathra's smuggling runs also took the crew to places like Jondora.

## Ship Upgrades

The crew of *Vespidian* made many upgrades to their ship, including to the Ion drive engine, stabilizers/maneuvering jets and life support. They renovated the crew quarters, patched the fuel pods, installed (and optimized) the hyperdrive and cleaned the ore hold. They also took inventory of old mining gear, rewired the shield generator, retrofitted the heavy turbolasers, reinforced the hull plating and updated the sensory array. The outer plates were also reinforced with Beskar Iron. They invested in a Lounge Room, an Armory, a Jamming Suite and a Mechanic Workshop.

### Troubleshooting

Over the years, they were also forced to tackle an assortment of breakdowns, infestations, and mysterious circumstances aboard *Vespidian*.
