Worldcraft

The Worldcraft was the vessel of Lord Hethrir, the former Imperial Procurator of Justice. There were only a few such vessels in existence, each commissioned by the Emperor himself as a gift to his most loyal and capable servants. A worldcraft is a movable planteoid, complete with real terrain (the one Hethrir used had a forested surface and a blue "sky"). Buried gravfield plates maintain the standard gravity of the worldcraft, while at the heart lies a massive reactor that powers the hyperdrive and tractor beam, the latter used to hold a miniature "sun" in place.

After the Empire Reborn crisis, New Republic scientists were sent to examine the captured worldcraft in detail, researching to learn more about techniques for engineering and energy management. Some of this research led to technological advances behind the New Class starships of the New Republic Fleet.
