| Before this begins, I blame Jace completely for giving me this idea.
I'd like to request a mobile base for the Eclipse Pirates. This mobile base would be a modified, and here comes the dreaded word, Venator class Star Destroyer. With the article on it stating that many of the ships at the end of the Clone Wars were just abandoned out in the Outer Rim and left floating in space, and others sold as scrap metal, many of the Venators have found themselves in criminal fleets, Moffs private defense fleets, and in the hands of pirates. With the size of the vessel and the size of the crew needed, and Eclipse not having the needed crew, most of the ship would be closed off and used for storage, with parts of the vessel being opened up depending on how much more crew and members Eclipse would gain. For the moment, the vessel would be used as a mobile base of operations. It would remain in the Outer Rim regions of space, with its hyperdrive being used to jump the ship out of danger, and only using its weapons in defense when it's unable to jump out of the system.
Its weapons and compliment would be modified to make room for more cargo space, and make it easier to manage the vessel. The weapons and compliment would be modified as follows.
Armament:
DBY-827 heavy dual turbolaser turrets (8) [Removed]
Medium dual turbolaser cannons (2) [Removed]
Turbolaser cannons (20) [Added to provide defense against larger capital class ships]
Point-defense laser cannons (52) [Kept to provide defense against starfighters]
Tractor beam projectors (6) [Kept to aid in bringing in damaged vessels, salvage, loot, etc etc]
Heavy proton torpedo tubes (4) [Removed]
Complement:
Z-95 Headhunters (36) [Total dropped from 420 starfighters]
LAAT/i gunships (40)[Capacity Removed]
Military walkers (24)[Capacity Removed]
Shuttles (6) [Set from 'various shuttles']
Prefabricated garrison base (1)[Removed]
As said above, the Venator would be a mobile base, and only moved when in immediate danger. I'd like to request the following.
x20 Crew members [To remain on the Venator station as the primary flight crew, in charge of the navigation systems, engine systems, hyperdrive system, etc for when the ship needs to be moved]
x100 MSE-6 Droids [Purchased in a bulk number at a low price due to the large numbers of returns]
x50 DUM series Pit Droids [Purchased in bulk number due to their low price]
x10 WED-15 Treadwells [Primary mechanical/maintenance droids]
x5 BLX labor droids [Programmed to act as administrative/head maintenance droids overlooking the other droids]
The last part of this request has come. I'd like a Slave Circuit installed on Eclipse's CR90, that would allow it to control the Venator when either docked, or within a set range near the Venator, allowing for a quicker control when the station comes in danger. A 'fire-link' system which would allow the vessels weapons to lock onto a target and all fire at that target, allowing the small permanent crew to be able to work the guns to defend the station until more crew could be brought on by Eclipse. Now last, but not least, the vessel would be painted black, with the Eclipse Symbol being painted on the hull to designate it as an Eclipse base.

| To put it simply, most established, long-time pirates, and even pirate groups, don't have this. Where is the credit flow? Where are the resources necessary? Where is the RP of finding such a valuable asset? You talk about fringe groups obtaining them, but the only ones ever directly mentioned are the Mandalorians and the Zann Consortium, two very powerful groups. The rest is part of a game mechanic from Empire at War, which Management has an established history of chalking many aspects of the game up to game mechanics rather than full-blown canon (with large disapproval of the Zann Consortium as a whole being prevalent across all three of us, ruining an otherwise excellent game); it's like having to take down shields to disable a craft with ion cannons, despite superior canon having stated otherwise.
I'm getting off-track here. The point is, this is a massive undertaking you're proposing here, for a no-name pirate. If I were to approve of this, it would be with major caveats, nowhere near what you're asking for right now. If you want to push with this, I will come up with something more agreeable, however, I otherwise would like to see Eclipse to do more before approving this.
