Ion Ring

The Ionic Ring, also known as a Climatizer, was a unique starship created by Professor Renn Volz when he worked at the Maw Installation. The ship worked on a specific modulated ionic beam that influenced a planetary weather system. Volz saw this as a perfect terraforming machine as it could effectively change damaging planetary conditions into livable worlds. Working on this basis, the professor tested the technology on the planet Zerm and it proved to be a success. However, while the professors intentions were good the technology came under the control of Imperial forces, specifically by Captain Bzorn. The ship was turned into a military weapon which would utilize the weather modification technology to unleash destructive storms on planets that would destroy civilizations. With the aid of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Chewbacca at the planet Kessel, the professor was able to regain control of the ship. But Volz saw how his technology would be used for destruction by the Imperial military and destroyed the Ionic Ring himself.
