Dynamic-class freighter

The Dynamic-class freighter was a light freighter built by a subsidiary of Core Galaxy Systems on the remote Republic world of Transel around the period of the Mandalorian Wars. A stock Dynamic-class freighter was only modestly armed and shielded; however, the ship was designed to accept modifications without compromising existing systems and most ships were therefore heavily customized by their owners. Though prized for its ability to be modified with ease—a trait advertised by the class's name—Dynamic-class starships were rare throughout the galaxy as only one ship was produced at a time. Dynamic-class freighters had relatively less area onboard to hold cargo than other light freighters but possessed ample space for passengers, allowing the class to operate as a transport. Some of the class's distinct elements such as the cockpit and saucer-shaped hull designs, would appear in later craft; starshipwright Corellian Engineering Corporation drew inspiration from the freighter when designing some of their own ships, including the YT-series freighters released several millennia after the Dynamic-class starship began production.

One of the most notable Dynamic-class freighters, the Ebon Hawk, played a key role in both the Jedi Civil War and later Dark Wars. The ship, so heavily modified that it was difficult to ascertain the ship's builder or origins, was originally owned by various members of the Exchange and Tarisian crime lord Davik Kang before Revan, an amnesic Republic soldier and unknowingly the former Dark Lord of the Sith, stole the ship to escape the Sith fleet's bombardment of Taris during the Jedi Civil War. Shortly thereafter, Revan—as a Jedi Knight and aware of his former position—used the Ebon Hawk in his quest to locate the Sith superweapon known as the Star Forge, and later on a journey through the galaxy's Unknown Regions before his capture. The Ebon Hawk would eventually resurface under the command of Jedi exile Meetra Surik, who used it on her quest to locate several Jedi Masters in hiding after the First Jedi Purge and, later, the elimination of the Sith Triumvirate. Surik would take the ship back into the Unknown Regions to locate the captured Revan, but her death and Revan's continued imprisonment left the Ebon Hawk stranded with no owner.
