Description

"The Pirate Ship Min's Wind roams the edges of the Outer Rim toward the Unknown Regions. Also a licensed privateering vessel for the Empire, The Min's Wind sports powerful sublight drives, a ragtag squadron of starfighter uglies, a multitude of turbolasers and tractor beams, and a bow mounted ion cannon capable of disabling ships twice its size."

It is approximatly 1.5 times larger than a Correlian Corvette. The original shipbuilders were the Aquavians of the Covalta system in the Unknown regions. However, once it had been assigned to Min Jukta, he was banished from the Covalta system and sought a commission to privateer for the Empire. Over the years, as the vessel required repairs and reconstruction, it was often rebuilt with parts of other derelict ships, since access to the original shipbuilders was denied.

Min Jukta was finally able to assemble a competent crew of pirates and fighter pilots, so that the ongoing damage to his ship has decreased significantly. The vessel now holds only a vague resemblance to the specifications to which it was first built and has become almost as much of an 'ugly' as the starfighters in its landing bay.

The above info is taken from the design's creator, Sithsherald, over at SWAG. I have always loved this design and wanted to do something with it in 3d. I had a free bit of time lately and this is what's come of it so far. I'll update with more pics as it evolves. I would like to release it when it's done but that will be up to Sithsherald and if he says it's ok.
