Sony Online Entertainment and LucasArts' have updated the official Star Wars Galaxies website with yet another impressive Galactic Showcase. This time, we get to meet Ulin'dran Dree's YKL-Nova Courier known as The Solarian Zephyr.

This specific ship is actually a heavily modified Gallofree courier sporting good speed to ensure that the smuggler Ulin'dran escapes every time he finds himself in "sticky situations". This was made possible by editing the ship's sublight engines and hyperdrive.

However, don't get the impression that The Solarian Zephyr is nothing but a fast ship used for escaping because its modular salon section has also been converted into a heavy weapons' bay.

Ulin'dran Dree's occupation primarily deals with information gathering and smuggling goods. The Solarian Zephyr, therefore, must be flexible enough to fit every facet of its owner's job. Dree knows this as well and that's why the additional features have been added:

  • Carefully concealed, magnetically sealed, and heavily shielded gun ports.
  • Four capital ship grade, heavy proton shell pulse cannons, capable of piercing all but the highest rated ray and particle shields alike.
  • Two medium beamrail gauss cannons in two turrets offering ventral and dorsal coverage against enemy fighters.
  • State of the art communications and sensor systems.
  • Modular outboard systems suite is packed with finely tuned (and temperamental) active and passive sensor systems allowing the Zephyr to scan all EM and holonet frequencies, cut through interference, and extrapolate relatively accurate hypervectors for incoming and outgoing vessels.
  • Large holo projection entertainment system, a Corellian entertainment suite, as well as a decently appointed galley/crew lounge.
