The Opulos Ambassador embodies three ideals: luxury, privacy, and security. The ship's interior is a masterpiece of understated elegance, intended to impress influential guests and keep the ship's inhabitants in the lap of luxury wherever they go, while the ship's powerful weapons and cutting-edge defenses serve as deterrents against those who might mistake a luxury ship as an easy target. Top-of-the-line power cores and thrusters place the ship among the fastest in its class, easily able to escape from threats that prove too powerful for shipboard weapons. In the event of disaster, the ship's fully stocked medical bay ensures that an on-staff doctor can take care of any emergencies—and allows the crew to avoid visiting a hospital, should they want to stave off leaving a trail of records. Boardroom-style passenger seating allows for discreet meetings where conversations of a sensitive nature can be conducted outside of planetary jurisdiction. Opulos also offers its customers customization services for modular bays based on client specifications, allowing the Ambassador to fit any customer's needs—assuming they have the credits to afford this boutique service. Popular customizations include, but are not limited to, vidstreaming studios, private sports training facilities, and even weapon testing ranges.
While the Ambassador is marketed to diplomats, businesspeople, and interplanetary jetsetters, the starship's privacy and safety features make it popular among a certain class of highly successful criminals—particularly those who provide clandestine services to the ultra-wealthy. The Stewards have issued multiple statements condemning the Ambassador's “privacy suite” as encouraging illegal transport of dangerous goods and individuals throughout the Pact Worlds. Opulos maintains that the smuggler-style compartment is necessary for diplomats and elite executives who wish to maintain their privacy—and Opulos's lawyers have thus far kept any prying eyes from acquiring client records that would reveal the identity of those who have purchased these ships. Still, savvy captains encountering an Ambassador in transit might think twice before scanning the ship—they may find themselves privy to knowledge the ship's crew is willing to fight to keep secret.
