*The special sensors function only within certain nebulae, through the principles of advanced sonar. Other ships and spaceborne obstacles can only be located by listening closely to the amplified sound waves that are transmitted and recieved by the massive sensor dish. This is all done with little computer assistance, and thus relies on the operator's Perception, as opposed to his/her Sensors skill.

Capsule: Originally christened the "Lezly's Dream", this small planet hopper was the property of Sidneus Cliv, a wealthy Baron Administrator of several mining operations. One of these was Mobius Exchange, a gas harvesting company that eventually refitted the aging ship into a personnel shuttle after Baron Cliv passed away.

Even later, the ship was highjacked by an upstart band of pirates, the Screaming Zephyrs. Through painstaking effort by the Captain, a singularly vicious Verpine named Zra'shae, the small but nimble craft was armed to the teeth with "collected" weaponry and hullplating. While no match for any New Republic capital ship, and most customs vessels, the small warship is more than enough for the local frieghters that transverse the Mobius system.

Becuase of the unique properties of the Nebula Infinitus [which covers much of the Mobius system], the ship has been equipped with a special sensor rigging that is very similiar to an ancient Sonar system. This system, which is commonly found on most of the local ships, is the only effective way to navigate within the vast sea of stellar gases. As an added advantage, it gives the Sunflare the added ability to strike at commercial vessels from inside the sensor-blinding nebula, a tactic the pirates use with suprising efficiency Ship idea and stats submitted by mikek@cardina.net
