YV-100 light freighter

The YV-100 light freighter was the first of the Corellian Engineering Corporation's YV series starships released in the era surrounding the rise of the Galactic Empire. Its 46.5-meter-long frame housed enough room to hold 150 cubic meters of cargo, as well as other vital starship systems, including the hyperdrive, weaponry, and living arrangements. The ship's exterior featured a long, slender forward portion—a feature that would become trademark to the future ships of the YV series—which housed the ship's cockpit. The ship's aft half strongly resembled ships in CEC's YT-series, a feature specifically designed to capitalize on the influence of the popular YT-series already on the market.

The ship was considered to be well-built and hardy by pilots of its era, and, while considered an unremarkable ship design, was well-received by those who bought it. Even so, the YV-100 was not as easily modifiable as other CEC ships still on the market and as a result never gained the popularity its YT-series cousins had. Still, even with the slightly lowered demand, the YV-100 light freighter lasted from its original release well into the climax of the Yuuzhan Vong War.
