Odd Idea of Sorts request

Well, this request stems from an odd idea that developed after another user from this site pointed out that it needed a bartender, then looking at the post that was put up just added to it when it hinted at a mobile bar. So here I am with my off the wall request.

The bulk of this requests centers around the idea of a mobile bar with Karia being the bartender, an old war veteran that rather not keep fighting and just wants to settle down. Though you know the type, trouble always seems to follow them around and wont just lay off. ^-^ So, I was thinking that if the site needed a character of the Star Wars cliche list of needs, I might as well cobble together two of the ideas into a bastard child like request. Therefore I figured why not make the Mandalorian the bitter bartender, that is using their mobile bar as a sort of base for other Mandalorians as well. I do hope I am not rambling on am I?

Ah, not onto the request. Please try to follow me on this, sometimes my thoughts can come out as jumbled.


Now I say hevily modified because well, that's what it would be.

The first modification would be those loading ramps. I looked at the Acclamators and each image has them landed on a planet with two loading ramps and lots of clones marching on up into the ship. Well I would be requesting that these two loading ramps would essentially be welded shut. In their place, the Acclamator would have a ventral entrance cut into it to allow smaller freighters and ships access to the interior hanger bay. The interior hanger bay would remain intact for all intents and purposes to allow for the greatest amount of freighters and ships to be racked inside while their pilots and crew were enjoying their stay at the bar, or spending a night or two on the ship.

Interior wise the vessel would largely remain the same, though some sections would be deconstructed and rebuilt to allow for changes on the inside. The largest change being a cantina on the ship which would be the main focus and reason to dock in the ships hanger. There would also be minor attractions, such as a hotel which would be comprise of the passenger bunks turned into rooms, and a shop or two, mainly a more black market hush hush style of shops since the ship would be on the move. So that's the basics of the ship, the interior would be turned into a bar and hotel with some black market shops, much like the Errant Venture which comes later on in the the canon time line.

Now for a couple more bits into the request.

The Armament would be changed. This is the current Acclamator unmodified loadout.

  • (12) Quad Turbolaser Cannons
  • (24) Point Defense Laser Cannons
  • (4) Proton Torpedo Launchers (100 Torpedoes)

The Modified Armament would be this.

  • (6) Fire-linked Quad Turbolaser Cannons
  • (34) Fire-linked Point Defense Laser Cannons

Now while most of the interior dock would be used for the ships being docked by the patrons coming to drink or trade, there would still be a set of racks in the hanger just for the following.

  • (12) Z-95 Headhunters
  • (6) Y-Wing Fighters

The above would constitue the primary starfighter defense for the vessel, with other minor freighters and vessels adding to the defense should the pilots feel like risking their ship to protect the Acclamator rather than running.

Now while the Acclamator I takes (700) Crew, I was thinking that it could be modified a bit to drop that number. Mainly by using a combination of slave rigging, coupled with the use of various pilot droids, to maintain the needed minimum crew requirement to keep the vessel running properly. This also defines the reason that the armament would be fire-linked, which would require less gunners than the previous unmodified armament.

For the few sentient crew members however, those would be mainly made up of the following.

Clan Tenau Members
(250) Clan Tenau Members {Including Karia; Men, women and children of the clan}

These members would be the ones that are more hesitant on picking a side between the Death Watch, True Mandalorians and Mandalorian Protectors. So rather than picking, they decided to follow Clan Member Karia.

Last but not least would be the armory on the Acclamator. Nothing too large, just a modest stock of.
EE-3 Carbine Rifle
A280 Blaster Rifle
Model 434 Blaster Pistol
DH-17 Blaster Pistol
Stun Grenades
Flash Bang Grenade
And a Repeating Blaster or two.

Now if you're wondering why there would be an armory, well its simple. The ship is still a vessel capable for combat. The armory would be used in such an event that a boarding party invaded the ship hoping to take it over. Of course all the weapons wouldn't be located in a single armory, more like spread among the ship in secure locations and with members of the Tenau clan to access them in the event that the ship needed to be defended from the inside.

I APPROVE of this, actually. As long as it's explained in Karia's profile how Clan Tenau came into possession of an Acclamator-class assault ship. In fact, I might recommend you base it instead on the Kuat-style capital ship rather than the Acclamator, with no changes necessary to the statistics you have here.

I'll agree to the vessel being changed to the Kuat-style capital ship rather than the acclamator. Honestly I was already having a difficult time trying to figure out how to explain how a clan of mandos had an acclamator.

The Kuat-style ship is somewhat more plausible in that it appears to be a smaller predecessor to the Acclamator. Larger ships in the canon have been bought used, won in card games, salvaged, etc.

I'll go with the Kuat-style ship then, and I'll work on how the clan would have gotten their hands on it.

I'll sure we can just close this. I dont see myself returning to this site, which means I'll no longer be writing with Shala either.
