Zhar Bacredi

The RAF Devonshire is one of the three capital ships in use by Zhar Bacredi. It is a Bothan Assault Frigate. The Devonshire is part of a small trading flotilla that runs around Vast Empire Space and make port in the Epsilon System.

Crew[edit]

Captain of the Ship[edit]

For the larger article, see Zhar Bacredi

Ensign Zhar Bacredi is cocky, arrogant, self-centered, superficial, one-way, and egotistical man. Currently commanding a flight in Nazgul Squadron. Bacredi joined up with the Vast Empire and joined Grey Squadron, after the Squadron's demise, Bacredi went back into training. After going through Basic Training with a passing grade, at 84 Percent. He then moved into Kaph Squadron as a Leading Crewman and took up the spot of Kaph 2. Taking up the position as C-3PX2's wingman, and making multiple friends with the members of Kaph Squadron. He then moved from kaph due to confidential reasons.

Captain of the Watch[edit]

"Mayday, mayday - we have been over flown by two RS Bombers. Put the ship to action stations, inform the Admirality: been flown over by RS Bombers, requesting aid."
―Captain of the Watch Say

James Say, a local of Corellia, was born thirty two years ago. He had a early invitation to the Naval Life, serving at the local ship port. When he met up with Zhar Bacredi at an early age (twenty five), they both have kept contact since. But three years ago when Zhar Bacredi decided he wanted to start up a small trading flotilla, he went to James Say first - and Say became the Captain of the Watch for the Devonshire. He is the second in command of the Devonshire, a straight shot with a pistol, and an adequate fighter pilot. He almost always resides in the bridge, he loves the sound the ship makes. He even had his quarters be moved near the bridge for a quick response time.

Head of Security[edit]

Charles Robinson is the Head of Security for the Devonshire, he currently commands all security operations within the Devonshire. A strong willed man from the Epsilon System, Charles Robinson was recruited by Zhar Bacredi to join the Devonshire a few years back. Since then, Robinson has hand picked every member of the security staff for the CMF Devonshire and has also helped the members of the Aegis Weapons and Targeting System. Robinson is good friends with Bill Tanner, Geoffrey Roebuck, Zhar Bacredi, and many other members of this small trading flotilla.

Robinson's weapon of choice (like most other members of his security staff) is the Mynock Q33, the Mynock Q33 is considered a "small belly" gun but makes up for such with accuracy and the ability to easily attach a silencer. He sometimes leaves the ship to go get supplies or head up a bounty in his free time, nothing but that.

Head of Starfighter Control[edit]

Gregory Milan is a Caucasian human male from Hecter VI. He was recruited by Geoffrey Roebuck after a few terrorist attacks at Hecter VI, which caused Milan to want revenge for these attacks (which had claimed the lives of his family). He didn't find such revenge in the trading flotilla, though. However, he did find adventure and a change of friendship with all the crew. Milan dislikes Bacredi, thinking him as one of the "arrogant men from the west". Bacredi doesn't mind, though, and thinks that Milan is a competent man. Milan directs almost all starfighter activity in the Devonshire, allowing ships to enter and leave.

Head of A.W.T.S.[edit]

The Aegis Weapon and Targeting System isn't just a computer, it is thirty-seven computers (all with several monitors) in the hull of the Devonshire. The burden of the Aegis Weapon and Targeting System control center falls under the hands of Gregory Fall Brown, a man of fourty-three. He was born on Coruscant fourty-three years ago to two unlawful parents that later got themselves killed after not paying bounties (this was at the age of 19 for Brown). Brown then began to smuggle and learn more and more about technology, he eventually befriended Geoffrey Roebuck who recruited him into the trading flotilla. After a year or two of experience aboard the ship, he became the AWTS Director.

His stress levels are high every day, and with that, he takes multiple medications, and knows multiple languages. He also knows how to re-code the AWTS Coordinate Satellite from scratch... which took him years to figure out. But doing such a thing would take him months.

Technology[edit]

Girangofold Ter58[edit]

The Girangofold Ter58 high-output ion turbine engines are incredibly fast, expensive... and always in need of repairs. They can travel for about four years until they need to be decomissioned in place for the new engines, Bacredi dreads the day that he will need to replace his Girangofold Ter58 high-output ion turbine engines. These engines were manufactured by the Girangofold Ter Company and then sold through the Imperial Center Store in the Core (under a shell name) to the trading flotilla.

Weapon Complement[edit]

Bacreid hasn't modified the weapons on the Devonshire (except for them to fit under the AWTS system). There is still 12 Turbolaser cannons, 10 Laser cannons and 6 Proton torpedo launchers.

Starfighters[edit]

V-19 Torrents[edit]

The Devonshire boasts twelve V-19 Torrents (Steel Squadron). Steel Squadron is commanded by Ron Tamas, they fly into battle when needed, but they don't fly into battle that often. They have a few formations, but nothing from that.
