Subject: STATS: The Regal Tabbir

role in mission #3 that i'm writing up for my Black Cobras SB.

Designed to be the epitome of luxury, the Regal Tabbir is truly a sight to
behold. At over 1200 meters long, the Regal Tabbir is nearly as long as a
Star Destroyer, yet it houses only one about one third the amount of
occupants - and in significantly more luxurious settings.
The ship is divided into seventy-five decks, numbered one (upper most) to
seventy-five (lower most). Decks one through twenty-five are designated the
"upper deck" and consist of mainly staterooms and service areas for those
occupying the staterooms. The Regal Tabbir's claim to fame, the kilometer
long Royal Promenade, runs the length of the ship, taking up the center
third of decks 1 through 10. Decks twenty-six through fifty consist of
"standard" rooms. Decks fifty-one through sixty-five are the entertainment
decks, housing everything from numerous casinos, holo theatres, athletic/
exercise areas, shopping malls, and nightclubs. Decks sixty-six through
seventy-five make up the maintenance decks, with everything from propulsion
systems to fuel storage and crew quarters. The rear one hundred meters of
each deck is also set aside for maintenance, allowing the service personnel
to maintain the four large engines that propel the ship.
There are one thousand luxury staterooms aboard the Regal Tabbir, with each
stateroom consisting of two separate bedrooms, a living room, two bathrooms
and a kitchen, all decorated and designed to radiate luxury. A professional
service staff waits on the occupants hand and foot, filling every whim and
fancy they may have. At a little over 1200 square feet (111.5 square meters),
the staterooms are nearly as large as a house and can house up to four people
per stateroom. Such luxury comes at a price. The staterooms are also the most
expensive: they cost anywhere from 10,000 credits for the lower (upper deck)
staterooms to 50,000 credits for the penthouse (upper deck) staterooms per
cruise. Service and luxury increase as deck numbers near one. Only the richest
of society can afford these extremely luxurious rooms.
Decks twenty-six through fifty make up "middle deck" and consist of "standard"
accommodations. Though the word "standard" is a poorly chosen one, it does
however have connotations that these decks are affordable. The least expensive
rooms on the Regal Tabbir are on five lower most of the middle deck, and
consist of a bedroom and a bathroom. Though lacking other plush things such as
a living room, these rooms are still very luxurious, with carpeting,
comfortable
beds, and a limited selection of alcoholic beverages available in the room's
wet bar. As you go towards the top of the middle deck, the rooms get more and
more plush, until you come to the upper five (decks 26 - 30). These decks
contain
rooms nearly as plush as the ones in the upper deck. Prices for middle deck
rooms range from 500 credits (lower decks) to 9000 credits (upper decks).
The lower part of the ship, ranging from decks fifty-one through sixty-five
makes up the "entertainment decks." The entertainment decks contain
everything
that the exacting traveler could want. Three large shopping malls, each
containing
over a hundred boutiques and stores, present ample shopping opportunities. An
amusement park, complete with a rollercoaster, takes up the front three
hundred
meters of decks 51 - 65. Eight theatres, fourteen casinos, twenty three
nightclubs,
four dance halls, four hangar bays, and hundreds of observation stations
make up
the rest of the entertainment decks.
The four hangar bays house the Regal Tabbir's starship complement, including
forty-eight Sparrow pleasure craft that can be rented for 100 credits per hour
for sightseeing opportunities. Also included in the hangar bays are two dozen
Hammad -class shuttles, used for ferrying passengers from the ship to the
surface
of planets at the numerous stops along each cruise.
Every ten decks, along the outer rim of the hull, are the ship's three hundred
escape pods. At thirty per deck, they are easily accessible by everyone,
giving
all ample opportunity to evacuate if the need arises.
But by far the single thing that the Regal Tabbir is known for is the "Royal
Promenade." The Royal Promenade takes up the center third (~60meters) of decks
one through ten and runs nearly the full length of the ship. The ten decks of
the Promenade consist mainly of boutiques, selling everything from overpriced
souvenir T-shirts to sabacc decks and naughty magazines. The Promenade is
simply
an empty trench that runs nearly the length of the ship; the boutiques line
the
walls, providing a clear and unobstructed view from the bottom of the
Promenade
(at deck 10) straight through the top and through the upper observation
viewports.
Numerous "bridges" connect the two sides of the Promenade, allowing
shoppers to
wander from side to side with ease.
At the front of the Promenade is an observation deck overlooking the
bridge, the
perfect vantage point for passengers to watch the expert crew guide the Regal
Tabbir to its next destination. The upper observation deck (above deck 1,
essentially deck zero) provides passengers an unobstructed view in any
direction,
the perfect place to watch the stars twinkle, or watch the colors as the Regal
Tabbir flies through hyperspace.
