When
he needs to travel on Nal Hutta, Slarr the Hutt prefers to do so in
style. That's why his underlings maintain an Ubrikkian Luxury-class
sail barge, one outfitted to suit Slarr's personal tastes.
The
Sail Barge
This
vessel, like many of its type, has two decks, along with a raised
platform in the rear. The upper deck is partially open to the sky
above, excepting the billowing sail canopy. From it, stairs lead up
to the aft platform as well as to the main deck below. There is also
a cargo lift used for loading supplies and Slarr himself. Beneath the
aft platform is a small space for crew members and guards, along with
a refresher unit. The main deck boasts a full kitchen and pantry,
along with a broad main chamber. This area features shuttered windows
that can be opened for passengers to view passing scenery or any sort
of spectacle arranged for the Hutt's enjoyment.

Tescali
Ru is a young Corellian pilot whose sense of self-assurance borders
on cockiness. Even so, she is more than qualified to pilot Slarr the
Hutt's sail barge. While the job doesn't exactly challenge her
abilities, she sees it as a stepping stone to piloting a starship and
making important runs on behalf of her Hutt boss. Until then she is
content to fulfill her current assignment. Even so, she dreams of
having her own ship, contending with the powers that be, and perhaps
even challenging Solo's record for the Kessel Run.
Other
Characters
When
traveling on his sail barge, Slarr the Hutt is generally accompanied
by his majordomo, Eom Nivlem; various Nikto servants; Tenrep Cray,
his chief of security; and multiple Aqualish bodyguards.
Using the Sail Barge in an Edge
of the Empire Campaign
This vehicle can be incorporated into an Edge of the Empire
campaign in many different ways; a few of the possibilities are
detailed here.
- PCs who are working their way into Slarr's good graces might be assigned as guards for one of his expeditions, and thus could face danger when the Hutt's enemies stage an attack.
- On the flipside of the credcoin, the same characters could be hired to stage an attack while Slarr is out for a voyage, thereby facing off against the many guards who are protecting him.
- Should the sail barge suffer a catastrophic breakdown while floating through one of Nal Hutta's many swamps, the PCs could be called upon to stage a rescue.
