Baudo-class star yacht

The Baudo-class star yacht from the Baudo Corporation is a favourite ship for rich youngsters. Altough, it has the ability to be easily modified, so the ship is sometimes used by smugglers.

But, as a star yacht, the ship is mostly used as a pleasant vehicle by rich people. Extremely disliked by most bulk freighter pilots, Baudo on it's way is often (especially, when piloted by young people), nothing else, but a mixture of discoteque and bar with ability to travel trough space.

The ship itself is described as a similar to the some sea creatures. Baudo is equipped with powerfull sublight engines for good speed in normal space. The single laser cannon in the standard version of the yacht is not only installed for the good impression - several precise hits could make pirates change their minds.

Mirax Terrik's Pulsar Skate is a highly modified Baudo-class star yacht, and certainly the most famous ship of this type.

Behind the scenes

 * There are several opinions about how the Baudo-class star yacht actually looks. In X-wing Rogue Squadron: The Phantom Affair comic book, there is Pulsar Skate, which is certainly Baudo-class ship, but it's somehow sharp appearance (see the picture) do not resemblances the description of the ship from the "X-wing" novels. Several sources are showing Baudo-class star yacht, as a more flat and smooth starship, more similar to the deep see creatures, as the ship was described. Altough, the comic has a story written by Michael A. Stackpole, so the Baudo's look from "X-wing: TPA" is somewhat most official.
