Subject: Star Wars Episode I RPG - 4: Bama's Headhunter


"Unless the Bartokks did something to Bama's starships, there should be a
Corellian freighter and a Z-95 Headhunter in Docking Bay 28.  I'll take a
ship and fly after the frieghter"
  -- Obi-Wan kenobi

     Just as Bama claimed, there were two starships.  Obi-Wan recognized the
different models.  The alrger ship was a bulky Corellian YT-1300 Transport
with a starboard-mounted cockpit.  The smaller ship was a dart-shaped,
twin-engined Imcom Z-95 Headhunter.  According to Bama, the Headhunter was
modified to carry a second passenger and was capable of space travel.
     Although the YT-1300 had a greater carrying capacity, Obi-Wan did not
expect to retrieve much from the Bartokk freighter.  The modified Headhunter
offered enough room for both Bama's son and the Neimoidian prototype
hyperdrive engine.  Because Obi-Wan suspected the Headhunter was probably
much faster, he decided against the Corellian transport and went for the
Headhunter.  Obi-Wan preferred speed over bulk any day.  (The Bartokk
Assassins, p. 49)

     "He entered the nearest blips coordinates
     into the Headhunter's nav computer and
     activated the drive system.    The Headhunter's
     speed increased so rapidly that he found himself
     pressed back into his seat.  He fought the
     pressure and reached for the acceleration
     compensator.  After he quickly stabilized the
     artificial gravity within the starship, Obi-Wan
     wondered if the Headhunter's modification's
     held any more surprises." (The Bartokk Assassins, p. 55)

Hull: 4D
Shields: 2D

     "Obi-Wan's hands flew over his controls
     to channel energy from his engines to his
     deflector shields.  The Bartokk gunner fired,
     and a hail of crimson energy bolts spat out
     from the laser cannons mounted to each of
     the fighter's six wings.
     The energy bolts hammered at the Headhunter's
     shields and Obi-Wan's ship shuddered at the
     assult.  He knew the shields wouldn't hold up
     much longer, so he threw the Headhunter hard
     to the left, then right, then down into an outside loop.
     The Bartokk starfighter tried to follow Obi-Wan's
     zigzag path.  Their ship seemed to wobble at
     high speed."  (The Bartokk Assassins, p. 60)

  Passive 40/0D
  Scan 50/1D
  Search 50/2D

     "Among one of Bama's many modifications
     to the Headhunter was a powerful scan-mode
     sensor.  Obi-Wan activated the unit and two
     distant blips appeared on the scanner grid.
     Uncertain which blip represented the Bartokk
     freighter, the Padawan closed his eyes and
     reached out with the Force [Ed. Note - the
     Jedi sensor package?] From across space,
     he sensed a trail of fear leading directly to the
     nearest blip on the screen."(Bartokk Assassins, p. 54)

Special Notes:

The Z-95 Headhunter has an extensive and robust droid autopilot system.  Bama
Vook installed a specially configured R2 Astromech droid control unit.  When
engaged the starfighter has the following characteristics:
     Astrogation: 5D
     Starfighter Piloting: Z-95  3D+2
     Starship Gunnery: 3D
     Starship Shields: 3D

     "Obi-Wan raised the Headhunter's canopy
     and slipped into the cockpit's front seat.
     He scanned the instrument panel and found
     himself impressed by the many modifications
     made by Bama and Leeper.  Most remarkable
     was the way they had expanded the cockpit interior
     to accomodate a second seat behind the cockpit.
     There was even a fairly sophisticated autopilot
     system."  (The Bartokk Assassins, p. 49)
