Lando Calrissian loves to do things in style, and his taste in ships is no exception. He acquired the Lady Luck when he was starting up Nomad City. It had belonged to an Orthellin royal mistress, and how exactly Land got the ship is still a little misty.
A SoroSuub Personal Luxury Yacht 3000, the Lady Luck is an exceptional craft. If his duties on Nomad City had not prevented him, Lando would have loved to have transformed the ship into the height of luxury. As it is, the Luck is luxurious enough, for the time being. The ship’s interior shows off Lando’s taste for finesse. When one is one the observation deck, it is possible to get an even better view by stepping out on to an exterior deck. If meditation or relaxation is needed, look no further than the interior compartment of the observation deck; here there is a small jet-stream meditation pool along with a few conform-couches. Lando has his private suite on the main deck, where the dining room, and five visitor cabins are located. Also one the main deck is bridge, main control systems, and several escape pods. Unlike some other hosts, Lando does care about his guests.
True to his younger days, Lando has installed a few smuggling compartments on board the Luck. A transponder containing three different identities can also be found on the ship. These allow the Lady Luck to pass through customs without having to reveal her true identity. Like with his other ships, Calrissian has slave-rigged the Lady. The droid brain responds to a beckon call that Lando controls via a datadisk-sized units attached to his belt. This has saved his life, as well as Luke and Han’s, more than once.
From the outside, the Lady Luck looks just like what it is: a pleasure yacht. Calrissian prefers beauty to brute strength, and has all the weapons concealed when not in use. This has fooled smugglers and pirates several times in the past. But she is still not all that well-armed, with only one retractable laser cannon. A pair of shield-generators protect the craft, but are not ideally suited for heavy bouts of combat. Lando does intend to upgrade all this, including the hull, to make the ship more combat-ready.
The Luck’s main defence is a sophisticated sensor system. This is made up of two forward sensor arrays located beneath the hull/ These detect, identify, and scan incoming vessels, and do so from an amazingly long distance. This gives Lando plenty of time to decide what his next move should be. Within the time, he can easily plot a course and jump into hyperspace using the two hyperdrive engines, each located in a pair of engine pods that extend from the fifty metre long hull. The sublight engines are also located in these pods.
When Nomad City was destroyed by Thrawn, the Lady Luck was retired for a while, so that Lando could return to active service in the New Republic. When Han disappeared on Kessel, Calrissian pulled the ship out, and set off on a successful rescue mission. To this day, the Lady Luck has lived up to her name, and Lando fervently hope that she will do so for a long time to come.
