Game Info[]
The Krayt Gunship is available to Freelance Pilot Aces at the Flight Artistry certification. The ship is a two-man gunboat, with massive firepower and high mass. With the feature of a gunner's turret (gun #2) on the top middle, this ship allows for extended coverage and protection. The only draw back to this powerhouse ship is, as usual with multi-passenger craft, the pilot has to fly relatively straight and level for an inexperienced gunner to do any real damage. This is one of the few non-passenger ships which has a full turret not in the tail of the ship.
Star Wars Lore[]
Over time, the Hutt crime organization established itself as the dominant mercenary faction in known space. To maintain loyalty, Jabba the Hutt commissioned the M22-T "Krayt" Gunship from MandalMotors as a gift for his most powerful lieutenants. Jabba's under-bosses in remote systems represent a consistent risk to the Hutt empire - they often fight amongst themselves and contemplate large-scale mutinies. With this vessel, his remote commanders could afford to release, fire or kill vast swaths of employees while remaining profitable.
Pilots Notes[]
On SWG Legends this mass was increased to 329k. Typically used with a mining cap (100k mass with 107 recharge rate) and 3 re'd Borstels or 10 guns.
