Aspects:

Nondescript -- Turquoise Jubilee is one of the ubiquitous Mountebank-class merchant ships that Eigen has been churning out by the hundreds for decades now. It also has a bewildering array of registry signatures and the Captain regularly gets new ones. All of this means that it's very difficult for people to figure out exactly who it is that they're tracking.

Cargo Bay Heated and Pressurized -- Although bog-standard on the outside, the Turquoise Jubilee has a number of interesting internal refits. In particular, the cargo hold can be heated and pressurized which means that live cargo can be transported when required. This doesn't happen very often and the Jubilee is really a cargo hauler not a passenger ship, but the option is there and such cargoes will usually command a premium for the special treatment.

Spacious Common Area -- Life aboard ship is pretty crowded and the large common area is really a way to cut down on personal space, but crews have upgraded and improved the area over the years and now it's a pretty decent place to hang out or work. The central holotank is particularly good and when not being used for meetings will often be playing the latest Eigen entertainment.

Ship's Mascot is mischievous -- Aunt Inga left behind more than a ship. She also left behind Max, a cybernetically-enhanced tooble. Toobles are monkey-like creatures from Eigen that are kept as pets. The cyber-enhancements haven't significantly improved Max's intelligence, just his lifespan. Still, Toobles are pretty smart and Max likes to have some fun with people on the ship.

Detritus from previous crews -- Turquoise Jubilee is an old ship and people have drifted in and out as crew over the years. They've left behind a lot of stuff. Despite occasional "spring cleanings", the mess accumulates in odd parts of the ship and you can sometimes find something you didn't know you needed if you search the closets.
