Shama Al Ast's personal yacht, the Scepter of Al Ast is not a combat ship. It is also not a smuggling ship, despite the existence of the scanner proof hold. That area is used exclusively to carry weapons, armed craft, and occasionally troops. Shama uses the Scepter of Al Ast both for business and pleasure, but that is for his business and his pleasure, and he seldom gets involved in the nitty gritty business of the organization, and, where it not for the fact that he is aware that he has enemies, he would not arm the Scepter at all, preferring to kill people that he can see.

As such, the Scepter is a compromise. Not having all the luxury facilities of an unmodified M-8000, it is also nowhere near as heavily armed as a combat cruiser. However, it is still a very luxurious ship, having ample entertainment and recreational facilities, and it is not that easy a target, especially when it's escort fighters are launched. In addition to the listed craft, The Scepter of Al Ast is often accompanied by additional craft, when Shama expects combat.
