Yakuza Floating Fortress 7212 (YFF 7212)

Back during world war two, towards the end. The Japanese where planning on making a new type of battle ship. The war ended, and before the construction could start, the plans where put away. Yakuza, being who they are, gathered the plans and decided to construct the ship in secret. It took several years to finish. The ship itself has a long history. From responding to tsunamis, to making covert strikes in a distant desert, The Erratos has done it's far share for the crime lords.

The ship is used today for anything the Yakuza deem necessary. It patrols the pacific most often than not, but is able to strike anywhere in the world within a month. This is only one to 7 ships the Yakuza own, and it isn't the largest.

During an outbreak of Ebola in Africa the Yakuza thought to help. They sent the ship there for humanitarian reasons. The doctors on board didn't know much about what they were dealing with, and in the attempts to help, most of the crew had gotten infected by the virus. After a lengthy quarantine and release of the sick crew, the ship was dubbed, The Erratos, after Erra, the god of mayhem and pestilence. Now the ship deals with biological and chemical weapons daily, helps produce needed vaccines, and supplies the main lands with the needed drugs (legal or illegal).

After absorbing Eiichi, one of the bosses of the Yakuza, Grovoton took it upon himself to seize the vessel... for the Yakuza of course. That and the laboratories on board could prove useful for him to conduct the needed experiments to further his ultimate goal.



Though it looks like an old Japanese battle ship, most, if not all, of the equipment on board is state of the art.

Ship (outside):

Armory has enough weapons to put one or two in each hand on of the crew. If carrying another large force, most of their weapons will be housed in the cargo area bellow.

Armory :

Officers Quarters (about 10 rooms on board)

Quarters:

Crews Quarters (enough beds for 300 to 400 sailors)

Quarters:

Cargo Space (lower decks)

Cargo:

Lab Area. There are a total of 7 labs. The original floor plans of the ship included 12 decks, there are now only 9, the three decks were used to make space for the lab.

Lab:

Purpose:There are multiple purposes for the ship:
A Mobile Strike Force: The Yakuza uses these ships to attack key objectives throughout the world. The force can be up to 200 hundred souls, not including the crew of the ship. They can disembark in a multitude of ways, helicopter, small inflatable boats, or even diving.

A Meeting place for the Black Market: Most of the ship is restricted to unauthorized personnel, all but the lower decks which consist of berthing and cargo spaces. There are single bed rooms, though they aren't very large, most of the spaces have ten or twenty racks each. The cargo spaces are large open areas meant mostly for storage, though once or twice a week they move things around to accommodate the black market trades along the west coast of the USA and along the coast of Japan. A Yakuza force polices the situation, but all villainous individuals are aloud to attend the Black Market meetings, as long as they follow the rules.

Black Market Rules:

A Laboratory and Drug Factory: It can be dangerous to produce chemicals and drugs on shore, possibly harming those around. The ship is meant to move the operation about to protect the public and to make it more difficult to locate. The lab can produce small amounts of many drugs, or a large amount of one or two (due to space and power). With this is a stat of the art laboratory, it takes up half of a cargo bay and is capable to produce many tests and experiments.

Wearhouse:Weapons, drugs, food, and supplies can be stored on board. It can hold enough to supply a mid sized village, if not stocked on other things.


The ships canons remain the same as they were, 2, 16" (406mm) gun turrets consisting of three cannons each. Both located near the bow of the ship. It has been rigged with several torpedo launchers on both port and starboard sides, three tubes each. All over the decks are anti aircraft guns, 20 quad 40mm mounts and 49 single 20mm mounts. Additionally, three ports were made on the ship, one at the bow, midship, and stern, for drone launches.  Two Phalanx CIWS are located just in front of the bridge and two aft of it. One Tomahawk land attack missile mount is located mid ship.
