Special Abilities


Automated Operations Many systems on the CompEnt Windfall are automated, allowing the ship to operate with a skeleton crew of as few as four. These systems can be manually overridden to operate the ship with a full complement, with additional crew members filling roles of their choosing.

Description


The CompEnt Windfall, a proprietary design of the Kalistocracy, is manufactured exclusively by Compiler Enterprises on the Horse Eye Orbital Plate near Aballon. The station produces one starship per month for the purpose of being ferried to the Fortune’s Heart transfer station, loaded with treasure, and auctioned off to eager Kalistocrats. The Windfall is therefore fairly rare; most of those in existence are owned by Kalistocrats who have won previous auctions or those who have purchased them from these winners. Selling one’s auction ship isn’t necessarily frowned upon by Kalistocrats, though most would be reluctant to part with such a symbol of economic triumph.
The Windfall is designed to operate via partial automation by default, requiring only a small skeleton crew to maintain the systems. Though it has enough weaponry to defend itself, it’s primarily a cargo ship; rather than sheer firepower, the Windfall’s security comes more from the secrecy of its route, biometric locks to ensure only authorized individuals are allowed onboard, and anti-hacking systems to avoid breaches. Even so, piracy of the barges has recently increased as word of their valuable cargo has spread, so upgrades in armaments are likely imminent.
Most of the Windfall’s floor plan is dedicated to cargo bays, with space reserved for a luxurious stateroom so that the winner of the auction might enjoy their journey in comfort, as well as a trivid den for the crew or the auction winner and their retinue to entertain themselves during long trips. The Windfall’s decor is ostentatiously expensive and elegant, with gold-trimmed molding, jeweled light fixtures, and sumptuous furnishings. The crew quarters, though not as extravagant as the stateroom, are quite comfortable, and piloting a Windfall to Fortune’s Heart is generally considered a plush gig among those in the know—assuming they can pass the rigorous security checks required.
