Delta Hawk

The Delta Hawk was one of Ajax Kalesnik's favorites of his many different starships, and the one he most used. It was a BT-7 Thunderclap, packed with modifications Ajax put in himself.

The Delta Hawk's Beginnings
The Delta Hawk was a ship used by smugglers before the Sith had returned. Then, Ajax was just 16 years old, and the ship was instead called the Jewel of Talisk, named after the smuggler who owned it, Sakataru Talisk. Talisk and his crew of five used the ship to sneak Republic-issued weapons and other military supplies into the hands of their employers, a band of pirates based on Tatooine. Ajax, and his master, Jack Iprae, busted the smugglers and brought them to justice. The Jewel of Talisk itself had been a Republic ship that had been stolen upon it being released from the factory, and was reclaimed. Ajax took a liking to the ship, and Jack decided to take it. Jack didn't really want the ship, but instead wanted it for his promising apprentice, Ajax. Ajax graciously accepted the ship, and renamed it, the Delta Hawk. He continued to use the Delta Hawk as his primary vehicle until it was finally decommissioned right before 3,643 BBY, ending its three-year life as a Republic vessel. However, even after the Delta Hawk's decommissioning, Ajax still used the glorious ship as a secondary starship when its replacement, the Delta Hawk 2, was unavailable.

Modifications
Ajax was very skilled with electronics, and took a liking in modifying the Delta Hawk, for optimal usage. Ajax completely modified the ship, and made it completely unique, and in his eyes, the greatest ship in the whole galaxy. Ajax inhanced the Delta Hawk's fire power by three-hundred percent, and gave it the greatest navigation system he could get his hands on. However, the greatest modifications, have yet to have been mentioned. Ajax gave the Delta Hawk a voice-activated computer system, that allowed him to control every part of the ship by his voice, eliminating the need for a crew. He added a large cargo door, so that large cargo, such as small starfighters, or speeders, could be placed directly into the cargo bay, which he used like, and often called, a small hanger. In the cargo bay, he filled the walls with computer screens and compartments stuffed with speeder bikes, pressure suits, astromech droids, and other various tools and weapons. Ajax took pride in everything he put into his ship, and would often brag about it.
