Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Starships of the Galaxy
Template Type: Vehicle Templates
Cost: Advanced Vehicles are normally cutting-edge prototypes with project costs easily reaching millions of credits.
An Advanced Vehicle is on the cutting edge of technology, one that includes numerous new systems and improvements to old systems. Individual prototypes of new ship classes, specially modified private vessels for the rich and powerful, and special ships built by cultures that have particularly advanced technology are all represented by adding this template to standard Starships.
Advanced Vehicles are rarely a class of vessel. Even the most cutting-edge culture can't make more than a few of these vessels at a time. They require regular maintenance (taking 1 day and a DC 30 Mechanics check each week) or move -1 Persistent step on the Condition Track until missed Mechanics checks are made.
