Aay'han

*Homebrew Reference Book: Clone Wars Saga Edition Fan Sourcebook - Vehicles and Vessels*

*Aay'han* is the *DeepWater*-Class Light Freighter purchased by the Mandalorian Kal Skirata, in the first year of the Clone Wars. The name comes from a Mandalorian word that has no direct translation: an intense feeling of love and serenity brought about from the bittersweet sensation of being surrounded by family and friends in the midst of mourning the death of loved ones. The Clone Commando trainer needed a ship with submersible capabilities to further his search for Ko Sai, the missing Kaminoan chief scientist who worked on creating the clones for the Grand Army of the Republic.

Skirata used *Aay'han* on a mission to Mygeeto to rescue Mandalorian mercenary Walon Vau after he became stuck in a crevasse following a bank robbery to reclaim his inheritance. Later, Skirata used the ship to track down Ko Sai on the planet Dorumaa and hauled her to Mandalore. After Order 66 was instated, Skirata used *Aay'han* to escape Coruscant with his loved ones and return to Mandalore.

### Capabilities

Shortly after purchasing *Aay'han*, Mereel upgraded the sensor package and weaponry to military specifications. He also placed The *Gi'ka*, a Wavechasher Submersible, in its cargo bay, ready to deploy. As with stock *DeepWater*-Class Light Freighters, the ship is equipped with puncture-proof inflatable pontoons for various forms of landing. With Amphibious Seals installed, the ship is capable of traveling under water.

The stock medical bay was left intact, and it includes passenger space for an additional ten occupants, totaling sixteen. Finally, several phony transponder codes had been installed into its IFF package. (The statistics given here assume a "typical" crew of Ace; if the ship is encountered with Kal Skirata or another character flying it, their abilities may be used rather than those of a generic crew.)
