YZ-900 freighter

The Corellian Engineering Corporation's YZ-900 was an unusually heavily-armed cargo vessel.

The design was part of the YV series, which CEC introduced during the reign of the Galactic Empire. Although the designers officially insisted that they were just well-armed freighters, and the Empire accepted this, it was widely assumed that they were really intended as paramilitary vessels.

Measuring 54.5 meters in length, the YZ-900 was armed with a pair of heavy twin laser cannon turrets in the centre of the hull, two double laser cannons on the wings, and concussion missile launchers firing forward and aft. The YZ-900 required a crew of several people to operate, including gunners, and could carry up to fourteen passengers and 500 metric tons of cargo.

One YZ-900, the White Wing, was believed to have been used as an assault ship by Rebel Alliance commandos making raids in Hutt Space.
