     Ithkyir Gond's pride and joy, the Fortune's gift is what
took him out of the Rillian's corner of the galaxy and sent him
out among the most distant stars.  Working as a mercenary for a
Hutt Crimelord, Ithkyir came across the derelict Gift while
attempting to track down a certain Corellian smuggler.  By the
time he returned without any leads on the smuggler, the crimelord
had been destroyed, and his rivals were taking down all of his
former associates.  Ithkyir decided that a change of identity was
in order, and used his new ship as the cornerstone of his new
identity.
     Spending the last of his credits on refitting the ship,
Ithkyir rechristened it with it's current name, and set off as a
freelance scout.  Since that time he has experienced the most
remarkable luck in this craft, and the improvements that he has
fitted it with match that relationship.  The ship's sensors are
modified to grant a +2D bonus for any planetary scans, and the
ships computer is capable of analyzing vast amounts of scanner
data (Sensors: 4D+1) while performing all other functions,
enabling Ithkyir to get the goods on a planet while fighting a
running dogfight with Imperial patrols.  The light and heavy
laser combination allows Ithkyir to get in the first couple of
shots in a dogfight, and to give opponents a false sense of
security before they come into the heavy laser range.
