     It's ugly, it's slow, it's worse than useless in a fight and it's
incredibly old.  This derelict freighter was once one of the most used
in the galaxy, but the shipbuilding advances as a result of the clone
wars made the Tantiss class transport obsolete.  Despite its age and
disadvntages, however, the Tantiss is extremely spaceworthy, and built
like a tank.  It was for this reason that the emperor ordered
thousands of these craft to be captured and used as storehouses for
weaponry.  These craft were loaded with weapons and deposited in orbit
around thousands of remote systems, and left there. 

     None of these ships exist in commercial use today, but an
extremely rare few can be found in various dumpsites, museums or used
as some kind of off-planet refuge by unfortunate illegals who havn't
been successful enough to find anything better.  The greatest number
of these ships are used as the emperors storage dumps.  The ships that
are used in this capacity have been disabled and are trapped with a
subspace alarm which is triggered as soon as any attempt is made to
activate the ships systems. The imperial coded message is sure to
attract the attention of any nearby imperial garrison, and as such
they will obviously move to retrieve it.
