Flamsteed

The Flamsteed was a large utilitarian freighter in operation around the time of the formation of the Alliance to Restore the Republic in 2 BBY. Manned by a small, peculiar crew, the starship flew the same uneventful route for several dozens of years, and on occasion, its crew accepted high-paying jobs to transport passengers to Yavin 4, an Outer Rim moon that served as an important base for anti-Imperial insurgents of the incipient rebellion. While the crew was comfortable with accepting these risky jobs, they needed to bribe key individuals along the way.

At one point, while Axis network operative Cassian Jeron Andor and other passengers rode on the Flamsteed to return to Yavin, the starship was detained by the Galactic Empire, as the bribery suddenly became ineffective. KX enforcer droid K-2SO then boarded the freighter and sometime later realized he was trapped, turning the event into a lethal pursuit for Andor.
