After a year of campaigning, the legendary spacer Landon C. Darkwood is 
retiring. He currently has over 1.8 million credits to his name, and 
that's only in cash. His ability scores and equipment are far too 
powerful for any campaign I can devise without being absurd, so I am 
halting the character.

I have posted stats for his Ghtroc freighter, the Minas Tirith, twice. 
Both times I was criticized because it looked like I was trying to fit 
too many things into my cargo hold. I removed the two starships the 
second time around and still was chastised. Well, one of you folk noted 
that I couldn't have so many things in cargo unless the ship was of 
Gallofree construction. What I neglected to mention was that I had 
purchased a Gallofree Yards Medium Transport shortly before posting and 
named it the Minas Tirith II. Immediately I began to modify it, not 
posting it because I wanted to wait until it was good and ready. 
Unfortunately, the campaign ended before the Tirith II was good and 
ready. Therefore, I am going to go ahead and post the current stats. Note 
that the freighter Space Hawk, a modified YT-1300, is not Landon's ship, 
but belongs to a Captain Sal Harkov. The crew of the Space Hawk is the 
focus of the next campaign (they were minor in the first, and still 
broke). They are using the Tirith II as a homebase. And so without 
further ado, I present the Minas Tirith II!

As always, I would appreciate comments. Thanks for keeping me on my toes 
regarding my modifications to the first Minas Tirith.
