THE HOUND'S TOOTH
MODIFIED
CORELLIAN YV-666 LIGHT FREIGHTER
After Han Solo
landed the Millenium Falcon on Bossk's first ship at Gandolo
IV, totally demolishing it, the Bounty Hunter purchased a
newer and more powerful ship.
The main hull is
long, tall, and narrow with large manuvering fins attached
to the rear engine compartment. The bridge sits atop the
ship and is connected to the main deck, which contain
Bossk's quarters, the ship's computers and controls, and
Bossk's training room. The engines, power core, and weapons
systems take up the entire bottom half of the ship.
The Hound's Tooth is
fast for a light freighter and has several banks of shield
generators to enhance the already reinforced hull. The ship
Tooth has a retractable lower quad laser turret which can be
handled by a gunner or controlled from the bridge. There is
also a concussion-missle launcher with a magazine of six
missles. It is suspected that there are more weapons built
on the ship, though.
The engines' two
main drive nozzles are located between the maneuvering fins
and can be individually attuned for thrust angles. The fins
themselves contain miniature arrays of maneuvering thrusters
allowing for hairpin accuracy in maneuvering the speedy ship
in battle.
The ship's controls
have been modified for Trandoshans. Bossk rests his arms
into a pair of troughs on the control grid. Microsensors
along each trough respond to Bossk's every move, allowing
the Bounty Hunter to control any system with minimal effort.
An X10-D droid brain
has been installed in The Hound's Tooth, so the ship can
actually monitor its own weapons, thrusters, and other
systems. The brain is capable of speaking and is as sentient
as any droid.
The droid brain,
which will only respond to Bossk's voice commands, allows
Bossk to control the Hound's Tooth either from the bridge or
from his personal cabin. He has also equipped the ship with
redundant sensors and security systems in order to detect
prisoner breakouts. An interior scanning system analyzes all
cargo brought aboard the ship, and the holds are
sensor-screened.
The prisoner-holding
cages in the aft cargo section are magnetically reinforced
for added strength and are activated by motion sensors
linked to a force-field generator. Bossk also keeps an
automated skinning table and his entire collection of
hunting weapons and Wookie pelts in this hold. Unauthorized
entry into any of several compartments triggers neural
stunners, sub-q injectors, shock panels, or other security
systems. Bossk uses his voice-recognition system to enable
him to secure the vessel from the outside.
Bossk also has an
interior scout ship, the Nashtah Pup, for emergency
operations. A large dorsal hatch on the Hound's Tooth opens
to release the short-range ship. The Nashtah Pup has room
for only two and almost no cargo space.
