{{Quote|Come aboard Galaxy Tour's ''Kuari Princess'' for an exciting adventure-filled cruise  through the Outer Rim.|An advertisement for the ''Kuari Princess''|<ref name="A Certain Point of View (short story)">{{Journal|8|A Certain Point of View (short story)|A Certain Point of View}}</ref>}}
The '''''Kuari Princess''''' was an [[M-class|''M''-class]] [[Luxury liner/Legends|luxury liner]] built by the [[Mon Calamari/Legends|Mon Calamari]], and operated by [[Galaxy Tours/Legends|Galaxy Tours]] during the [[Galactic Civil War/Legends|Galactic Civil War]].

==Characteristics==
The ''Kuari Princess'' was considered one of the greatest triumphs of [[Mon Calamari/Legends|Mon Calamari]] shipbuilding, and was the [[Starship/Legends|ship]] which inspired many of the systems used in the development of the [[MC80 Star Cruiser/Legends|MC80 Star Cruiser]]. It was itself known as an MC80 luxury spaceliner.<ref name="TCSWE" /> The ship's complement of 850 crewmembers consisted of the [[Captain/Legends|captain]] and ten other officers, plus 500 [[Droid/Legends|droids]] and 329 [[Sentience/Legends|sentient]] crewers. The bulk of the organic crew served as stewards and engineers, with most of the remainder being involved in the on-board entertainment. A security detail of sixty troopers were also carried as supernumeraries. There were accommodations for 3,500 passengers, with standard facilities for 27 different [[Species/Legends|species]].

Standard staterooms had two berths, an ''en suite'' [[Refresher/Legends|bathroom]], and environmental controls that could be tailored to the needs of many different species. Depending on their location aboard the ship, these cost from 50 to 150 [[Galactic Credit Standard|credits]] per night. Deluxe staterooms, with amenities including entertainment and refreshment areas, cost 250-450 credits, and there were also two top-line suites costing 1,000 credits apiece. During one stage of the ship's career, these two suites were identified as the Emperor and Kuari, but another document refers to the Royal Suite as the most luxurious accommodation on board: presumably the Royal and the Emperor were the same suite re-named, but it was not entirely clear in which order the names were used.

The primary passenger area was the [[Lido Deck]], which contained much of the standard accommodation (around 400 staterooms), plus the Grand Ballroom, the Grand Dining Room, and the Bistro, one of the ship's three secondary dining rooms. The Lido Deck also housed a [[Holovid/Legends|holovid]] library with two billion volumes, and the ship's main nightclub, [[Xerrol's Place]], which boasted a six-piece house glizband, the [[Graf-Spanners]]. A specialized nightclub for droids was open to both mechanical crewers and passengers' servants, and there was a crew lounge, reserved for the liner's 400 sentient personnel.

Above the Lido Deck was the recreation deck, with fifteen gymnasiums, capable of catering to a wide variety of species, plus a six-lane, multi-gravity running track, a zero-g sauna, [[wallball]] courts and a [[slafcourse]]. The ship also boasted 212 standard and 46 deluxe staterooms, two casinos and another secondary dining room on this level.

The uppermost of the public decks was the [[Bazaar Deck]]. This was the site of the two luxury suites, along with the the Imperial, the most prestigious of the on-board restaurants, and the Scorp Club, a relaxed, members-only nightclub. Other facilities on this deck included the 900-seat Estuan Theater, capable of hosting both holo and live performances, two shopping arcades and a more informal bazaar, plus meditation chambers, daycare, and a number of additional amenities and eateries. The Bazaar Deck also contained 224 standard and 36 deluxe staterooms.

Below the Lido Deck were the two credicruise decks, the [[Homthor Deck|Homthor]] and [[Welland Deck|Welland]] decks. Each of these contained 448 standard staterooms and 86 deluxe, plus a small secondary dining room and three snack shops&mdash;without the need for impressive public areas, and the ceilings were much lower than the decks above. Below these was the engineering deck, containing the ship's drive systems and most of the crew areas, plus the [[Hangar/Legends|hangar bay]]. The [[Galleria Shop]] was also located on this craft.

For defense, the ''Kuari Princess'' was equipped with ten [[Turbolaser/Legends|turbolaser]] batteries and [[Deflector shield/Legends|deflector shields]]. It also had deck-mounted miniature turbolasers on the recreation deck, for passengers to enjoy [[Space Skeets|space skeet]] and target shooting at [[Asteroid/Legends|asteroids]].

==History==
In the course of its career, the ''Kuari Princess'' traveled a number of different routes across [[The galaxy/Legends|the galaxy]]. Perhaps its best-known single voyage was a cruise along the [[Relgim Run/Legends|Relgim Run]], from [[Endoraan]] through [[Marmoth]], [[Aris/Legends|Aris]] and [[Vykos]] to [[Mantooine/Legends|Mantooine]]. Passing through the [[Maelstrom Nebula|Maelstrom]] between Aris and Vykos, it was [[Attack on the Kuari Princess|attacked]] by the [[Riders of the Maelstrom]], a gang of [[Pirate/Legends|pirates]] led by [[Big Jak Targrim]], and rescued by Rebel forces.

At another stage, the ''Kuari Princess'' was offering the [[Grand Galactic Tour]], calling at [[Tatooine/Legends|Tatooine]], [[Endor/Legends|Endor]], [[Bespin/Legends|Bespin]], and [[Coruscant/Legends|Imperial Center]]. The notorious [[Bounty hunter/Legends|bounty hunter]] [[4-LOM/Legends|4-LOM]] was once a valet and [[Human/Legends|human]]-[[Cyborg/Legends|cyborg]] relations specialist on the vessel, where his programming was corrupted by his observations of the passengers under his care.

The liner's fame was such that a sister ship, ''[[Kuari Princess II]]'', was eventually launched.

==Behind the scenes==
The ''Kuari Princess'' is depicted in [[Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game (first edition)|''Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game'']] and on the back cover of [[Riders of the Maelstrom (West End Games)|''Riders of the Maelstrom'']] with a photo of the [[Liberty/Legends|''Liberty'']] special-effects model from [[Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi|''Return of the Jedi'']]. The intention may have been to identify her as representing the original civilian version of this Mon Calamari Star Cruiser design, later militarized by the [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Rebel Alliance]]. However, whereas ''Riders of the Maelstrom'' specifies that ''Kuari Princess'' is 500 meters long, subsequent sources have identified the ''Liberty'' design as a 1200-meter [[MC80 Liberty type Star Cruiser]]. ''[[The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia]]'' calls her a "MC80 luxury spaceliner".

''Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, First Edition'' also identifies the ''Kuari Princess'' as an "M-Class luxury liner", suggesting that she was the same type of ship as the [[M-class|''M''-class]] liner ''[[Lady of Mindor]]'' in ''[[Han Solo's Revenge]]''. However, ''[[The Star Wars Sourcebook]]'', released only a few months later, defines ''Lady of Mindor'' as a ship of a totally different design and origin. The ''M''-class designation must therefore refer to a variety of different [[Luxury liner/Legends|luxury liner]] designs.
