CDY 770-Liberator

The CDY 770 *'Liberator'* is quite easily one of the most advanced starfighters ever produced. Created by Carca Drive Yards to service the *Legion Kondor*, an elite sect of Endari fighter pilots. The Liberator was meant to replace their aging wing of *'CDY-500 Knight'*.

### History

Development first began in early 27 BBY for a new, high-tech fighter that was capable of easily disabling the newest and most advanced craft. The next aspect that was needed was to answer the growing demand among the Legion for a craft that could escort VIPs. Queens and Duchesses. Who regularly called upon the Legion Kondor to engage as escorts.

Carca Drive Yards had the first prototype ready two years later in 25 BBY. And the vessel fit the bill on nearly everything. Unfortunately, the armor plating simply wasn't durable enough to properly handle the requested amount of damage. The answer to this was found in the Paladia Traverse. Carca brokered a deal with Isada Shipyards to provide a healthy amount of Sorium that could be infused with the Liberator. The infused duranium could now shrug off nearly all types of damage. The catch was the price of the Liberator now rose to a whopping 160 million credits. Beyond that of even an Imperial Star Destroyer. The Endari Inquisition and Vodani both ended up buying a full squadron of the craft, while the Legion Kondor was gifted their wing from Carca Drive Yards.

During the conflict with the Empire, its widely believed the CDY-770 Liberator is the primary reason for the Legion Kondors massive success against the Empire. After the war, a single example of the CDY-770 was brought to Grand Moff Cain for evaluation. Cain then ordered all other vessels scrapped and the Legion Kondor hunted as war criminals and enemies of the empire. Despite this, only a few of the Legion Kondor were caught, the rest fleeing with their Liberators into the fringes of Endari Space.

### Layout

The CDY-770 is closer to the size of a frigate than a starfighter, with comfortable enough room for 13 individuals, four separate cabins and a maximum capacity of holding 16 people.

#### Deck 1

##### Cockpit

The Cockpit of the Liberator is massive and long, holding three different seats. The rear seat is for the pilot, middle seat for co-pilot and the furthest seat is a science and sensor seat with backup controls for piloting.

##### Front Section

The front section contains two cabins, the captain's cabin and the VIP cabin. Identically built on opposite sides of the ship. The cabins hold large luxury beds, holoprojectors, a food and drink requisition and terminals for personal use.

The front section also has a small kitchenette and an astromech droid port.

##### Middle Section

The Middle section has a small medical bay along with the crew cabin for the co-pilots.

##### Aft Section

Holding the armory, engine maintenance bay and weapon access port, the aft section is more designed for keeping the ship going than comfort.

#### Deck 2

Accessible from either a staircase in the front section or a ladder in the maintenance bay of the Aft section of deck 1, deck 2 is making good use of the spare space.

#### Front Section

The furthest section of deck 2 is a small access port for the nose mounted autocannon. There to reload or do general maintenance. The front section also has the observation/recreational lounge on the port side and the passenger cabin on the starboard side.

##### Middle Section

The middle section is essentially made up of the large cargo bay. With a ramp that extends down onto the ground if the ship is landed.

##### Aft Section

Equipped with a high-tech mining station for mining raw materials and then a processing plant for processing those materials, the aft section also has the primary engineering bay which connects to the upper maintenance bay via a ladder.
