A very modern pleasure yacht first available a few years before the
Battle of Yavin, Kuat Drive Yards' Starwind-class is outrageously
expensive and features 10 separate single staterooms, a zero-g relaxation
chamber, a small holotheater, a dining room (in addition to the crew galley),
a game room, and a complete audio-visual library. Also, its revolutionary
escape pods were designed with the same technology used for the cargo hold
of a Star Galleon: they can be safely jettisonned
in hyperspace (unlike normal pods) and, when in realspace, an automated
nav computer will make random hyperspace jumps that bring it to a well-travelled
hyperspace route. Its subspace distress beacon (which also transmits
on high-priority military frequencies) ensures that rescue ships will reach
the pods before pirates or kidnappers can.
