The Rameseum Mark 4

The Rameseum M4 (short for Mark 4) is the newest incarnation of Zolar's ideal of true shiply beauty. It is the sucessor to the Rameseum II, a grand mobile base for the Rameseum Crew. It was conceived after the crash-landing of the RII on a moon, an ordeal which was prolonged as the crew escaped to Levo and out of the Corporate Sector, the RII barely holding together the whole way. Zolar, wishing to have a newer and stronger base, began drawing up plans for the Rameseum 4 (the 3 being a captured Imperial space station given to Blalock and his pirates). His dream was not realized, however, until he came into the Moffdom of Brentaal. Suddenly with incredible funds at his disposal, he began construction of the M4 as a side project. He quickly became unpopular with the shipwrights, however, as he was constantly interfering and redesigning the ship mid-construction. Before it was completed, however, the Rebels invaded, and Zolar barely managed to get the nearly-destroyed hulk of the cruiser out of system and to the relative safety of the Starforge Nebula. There, with the help of Starforge Station, he completed construction.

The M4 is slightly larger than a Corellian Corvette, with a totally unique ship layout. It carries turbolasers, a small fighter bay, loading docks for visiting ships and a huge, capital-size version of the Dauphern's engine overdrive system. It serves not only as a mobile base for the Crew but also as a travelling bazaar for smugglers and underworld types, who can pay a nominal fee to dock their ship and travel wherever the M4 does, trading wares in the central plaza of the ship. The ship has a rather small complement for its size, thanks to Durandal and his control of a large team of droids that help ship's operations.
