Design
The Kuari Princess was an MC80 luxury starliner one of several built by the Mon Calamari Shipyards for Galaxy Tours under a special dispensation from Imperial Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin due to his appreciation of the aesthetics of Mon Calamari design. However, despite Tarkin's gesture, the Mon Calamari shipwrights did not forget that the Empire had subjugated their homeworld of Dac. Every component developed for one of the new luxury starliners was created as a prototype for future warship production. The sporting lasers designed for the Kuari Princess were the testbeds for pinpoint targeting computers. So successful was the design of the Kuari Princess that it was the basis for eight heavy cruisers by the time of the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, and was considered to be one of the Mon Calamari's finest creations.

Designated as an M-class luxury liner,, the Kuari Princess was five hundred meters in length, split over ten decks. Organic-looking like all Mon Calamari-built ships, the Kuari Princess featured a bulbous main section containing the internal decks, and two wings, one on each side. The vessel had space to accommodate 3,500 passengers at a time, and had provisions for providing support facilities for twenty-seven different alien species.

Deck layout and facilities
The bridge was located at the very top of the ship, with the three decks directly beneath designated as Storage Deck 1, Storage Deck 2, and Storage Deck 3.

Bazaar Deck
The Bazaar Deck was located directly beneath Storage Deck 3. At the prow was located a swimming pool with dedicated male and female bathrooms, serviced by two banks of three turbolifts. The Estuan Theater, named for the famed Dactrurian actor, Anorad Estuan, dominated the front quarter of the deck. With a seating capacity of nine hundred, the Theater was equipped to accommodate both live and holographic performances. Each seat was fitted with D-baffling to eliminate ambient noise from other members of the audience. Forty staterooms flanked the Theater on either side, for a total of eighty, running alongside of the ship's hull. These staterooms served as the housing for the many merchants who traveled aboard the Kuari Princess, many of whom operated shops and services on the Bazaar Deck. The second quarter of the Bazaar Deck was dominated by the Open Market, a bazaar made up of various stands, tents and booths. Most common items could be found for sale at one of the stalls in the Open Market, sold by one of many alien traders. Some illegal trading was known to occur in the Open Market, with prices for such items starting at more than fifty percent higher than the standard asking price. A group of Jawas from Tatooine ran a Droid Shop in the Open Market, while an elderly female named Vern operated a gift shop known as Kuari Souvenirs. A Weapons Shop staffed by two lizard-like aliens specialized in space-skeet blasters, although they had a stock of military grade weapons retailing for one hundred and fifty percent of their retail value. On either side of the Open Market was a Shopping Arcade; the Port Shopping Arcade consisted of eight shops dedicated to clothing, including a humanoid formal attire store run by N'Vadin. The Starboard Shopping Arcade consisted of six shops and a secure storage area. The stores in the Starboard Shopping Arcade catered to those seeking expensive accessories and jewellery. Banks of escape pods bracketed the Open Market.

Much of the third quarter of the Bazaar Deck was dominated by both standard and deluxe staterooms. The standard staterooms measured four meters by six, and were designed to be occupied by two individuals. Each stateroom had access to a private bathroom, and was environmentally sealed in case of emergency, or to duplicate a species atmosphere. Standard staterooms cost between fifty and one hundred and fifty credits per day depending on which deck they were located on. Two hundred and eight standard staterooms were located on the Bazaar Deck, along with sixty four deluxe. Deluxe staterooms were eight meters square, and were equipment with an EM entertainment module, refreshment centre and master bath. Like standard stateroom, the environment could be tailored to suit the occupant. Deluxe staterooms were charged at a rate of two hundred and fifty to four hundred and fifty credits a day depending on deck location, and a domo droid was available to cater private functions are no extra charge. Along the port side of the Bazaar Deck were located the Meditation Chambers available to those who had made arrangements prior to embarking; individual meditation was catered for, as was species-specific spiritual services. Further down was a variety of speciality restaurants, including Sporofor Spetzna for those species who could ingest cellulose; the Calamari Cafe which specialized in Mon Calamari cuisine; Unduine's, noted for its ribs from the animals of sixteen different systems; and the Aft Deck Diner, which catered for cheap eats from a dozen worlds, with a speciality in Rodian cooking. Located on the starboard side was the Nurse's Station, run by the Aqualish Head Nurse Calfta Bongi. Facilities for children were also present; infants were welcomed in the Creche, while the Sub-Adult Center was reserved for adolescents. Both were run by a combination of droids and Ubasameirs. The Rolo Room featured interactive holographic adventures which were changed daily and were exclusively available only to children. Finally, The Imperial, an elite restaurant, was located on the starboard side. Decorated in the style of Imperial City, it served lavish and expensive fare. The average meal for two cost two hundred credits.

The aft quarter of the deck was the location of the two suites, the Emperor's Suite and the Kuari Suite. Costing 1,000 credits a day, they were finest accommodations aboard the Kuari Princess. They boasted a deluxe refreshment center, split-level entertainment room, holo-overlay projector with sensory adapter, a vintage stock of Pludris, an original Xephi Sep kinesculpture, an organic butler, zero-g sauna and private computer console. The Emperor was located on the port, while the Kuari occupied the starboard. Between the two suites were the Gild-Galaxy Shops, which sold everything that the Shopping Arcades in the fore part did, but at a higher price and at a better quality. The Fountain of Light was also located behind the shops. On the port side, next to the Emperor's Suite, was the Scorp Club, an exclusive club only open to members. Suite residents gained automatic membership, while deluxe stateroom guests could join for twenty-five credits a day. Other patrons were charged one hundred and twenty five a day. Located next to the Kuari suite was a private lounge, and Pendlestat, a business which rented professional and experts in most fields for training purposes. At the very rear of the deck was located the Emergency Bridge, which could control the vessel in a crisis, and was flanked by Crew Apartments on either side which consisted of eight one-person cubicles arranged dormitory-style consisting of G-bunks and storage lockers. A lavatory served each Apartment.

Two hundred and sixteen staterooms and forty-six deluxe staterooms were located through the fore and mid part of the deck. The starboard side of the deck was the home of the space skeets, with each booth having an independent environmental membrane and miniature turbolaser.

Three swimming pools and the attendant locker facilities were located behind the projector room, as was the Secondary Dining Room on the starboard side. The ship's Infirmary was located on the port side, run by the Ithorian Doctor Mowadan. Wallball Courts were located on the starboard side, while the Wallball Pro Shop was directly opposite on the port. The entirety of the aft quarter was given over to escape pods.

Three tracks served each direction, and a lap was 2,000 meters including the turning circles.

Six specially designed circular staterooms were reserved for the use of species with a poisonous or toxic atmosphere. Directly aft of the staterooms was the main swimming pool, as well as the ammonium/mercury pool. Amidships featured two dining establishments; the Grand Dining Room, which required formal wear to enter, and The Bistro, which was more relaxed. The middle of the deck was dominated by the Grand Ballroom, which boasted a Mayuril dance floor, holo-environment overlays and beta-mixers. The ship's Library was located on the port side. The third quarter of the deck was dominated by Xerrol's Place, a nightclub, and the deck's escape pods. The aft quarter included the Droid Lounge, a nightclub exclusively for droids, and the Repair Shop for any technological repair. Shipboard security's main offices were located on the aft section, alongside a Crew Lounge.
