 Class Profile:   Stock Light Freighter
      
Notes:   The YT1300 Transport is one of the most common trading small craft found in the galaxy. However, in recent years many freight and commercial trading firms have begun to employ the bulk freighters and container ships, which carry far more cargo much more efficiently. It is very rare to find a new YT1300 for sale in the galaxy today and nearly every one in use has been altered from its original stock form. Experienced pilots usually modify these ships to suit their own cargo hauling needs. Despite this fact many small traders, mostly in the Outer Rim swear by these craft and will not give their ships up willingly. The appeal of the YT1300 Transport is not its basic equipment, but its ability to take an extraordinary amount of modifications and alterations.

Unfortunately, criminal elements also use this craft for smuggling items such as arms, spice and other illegal goods, especially along the restricted Kessel route. These daredevil cargo carriers have modified these ships beyond the point of the original specifications with stolen military grade shield generators, sensors, weapons, engines (thus increasing the speed of the craft both in sublight and hyperspace) and other countless changes, including smuggling compartments. These criminals also give the ship a beat up appearance to help avoid harassment and entanglements with Imperial Customs. Smugglers and blockade runners typically modify the weapons and hyperdrive, while legitimate cargo haulers add extra cargo pods and shielding. Before the Massacre of Endor, the Rebel Alliance Supply Fleet used a large number of these craft to haul supplies to their forces and bases.

The YT1300 is equipped with two escape pods which as a standard feature; they are located on the port and starboard side of the freighter. One of the primary drawbacks of this craft is the off center cockpit placement. This positioning leaves a great deal of the ship out of the pilot's view, and while this is common for larger vessels, it makes it much harder to maneuver in tight spaces for many new pilots. The more worrisome of these captains often install fiveaxis, laser ranging pods near the front mandibles, in order to provide them with realtime data about the parts of the ship they cannot see. The mandibles contain much of the freighter's avionics control systems and sensor modules. The forward section of the ellipse is contains crew space, while the aft section is for cargo. Usually these ships are fitted with strapon cargo pods to increase cargo capacity.
