- This week, we take a look at some of the best light freighters in the galaxy, from Han Solo’s YT-1300 to Hera Syndulla’s VCX-100, and more. Sorry about any audio issues, but I tried clipping my lav mic to my lapel as intended instead of to a makeshift LEGO handle like I usually do and I think that made it sound muffled. Maybe you wouldn’t have noticed if I hadn’t pointed it out. Pretend you didn’t read this. Check out my new intro sequence instead. Oooh, fancy! It makes you want to subscribe so bad!

Ebon Hawk: am I a joke to you?
I thought about including it, but decided it was too small to be a light freighters and that it should be a courier or personal transport instead. Excellent ship though!
What about the red shifter
@@markusbelden4569What is it?
The ghost is definitely a sleeper pick, glad to see the recognition it's been getting because of Ahsoka. Good job on the logo too! Looks great
Thank you, I’m glad you like it! It was a lot of fun to make, so I might have to come up with a matching end screen, too.
@@RadioFreeCoruscantgreat video,they are one of my favourite class of ships.
I believe Hondo has been the owner/used to be of every make and model ship out there😂
That first ship is like a Star Wars cargo variant MiG-31, a superheavy interceptor that's been built to carry a load for some reason
Yeah, it seems that way. Though perhaps the four guns at the tips of its outriggers are actually supposed to be antenna but got misidentified as weapons along the way.
The Ghost is by far a great ship and beautifully designed freighter
Han even said that The Ghost is better than the Falcon
Lando did said that the VCX is a quality ship
I gotta say, the Kazellis - Class may not seem much but I think it has potential. A ship I'm keeping in mind for my fan fiction.
I think a Kazellis would be great for a fanfic because you’d have a lot more freedom in how you describe it and what you put in it since it hasn’t appeared in any visual media.
"Cargo Mandibles which allow the YT-1300 to be used as a barge pusher"
Canonically this is actually not their intended use, but instead a showcase of how versatile the YT-1300 actually is. The original purpose of the mandibles was for loading, there's actually a cargo airlock between them and the mandibles themselves house short-range tractor beam emitters and maglocks that can be used as a crane and conveyor system. This is actually a conceptual extension of the YT-1200's dorsal pylon, which housed a loading crane. Of course, with the mandibles using tractor beams and maglocks, they also became capable of being used as a docking clamp as well, allowing the ship to carry a runabout (like we see with the Solo version of the Falcon) or push intermodal container racks. There are also factory option configurations for the YT-1300 that discard this functionality in favor of a center cockpit or an armored CIC.
I would give the Fondor Haulcraft the Party bus treatment from Solo
My fav is The Ghost 😃 that's what I would have,I loved How Kanan would Cruise in a ship that's probably kooler than the Falcon,with your crew doing some positive dirtyy,with your young Jedi apprentice,and your hot Twi'Lek Soon to be bby mama 😋🤤😁
Some solid entries here!
Wish the YKL-37R Nova Courier got more love in the franchise. Was always one of my favorites haha
Ooh, I should have used that instead of the Kazellis! I would have had a lot more images to choose from that way. Maybe even game footage; I think it’s in a couple. Oh well, maybe I can do a sequel later. There’s no shortage of light freighters, after all…
It would be really bad luck to have a YT-1300 in the same configuration as the Millennium Falcon.
You're a legitimate cargo hauler doing a run and next thing you know, Imperial ships are firing on you for no apparent reason.
Ghtroc 720 is legendary.
I'll agree with the Nova Courie, but my two favorites are the Ghtroc 720 and Citadel Cruiser.I'm not sure i could call it a freighter, though.
The new logo sequence looks fantastic! Thank you for showing some love to the obscure ships, they deserve it. As always, fantastic Star Wars content ❤
I've always been drawn to the look of the GHTROC freighters.
Thanks, I’m glad you liked it! You’ll have to check out my latest video; I’m testing out a new blueprint graphic for the ships.
I like the Ghtroc freighters as well with their goofy turtle shape. I hope we get to see one in a game or show someday!
How about the YU-410? It's basically an "oversized load" hauler designed to carry machinery and vehicles, but the large cargo holds also allowed for it to be fitted with small capital-grade turbolasers. They were popular with pirates and podracers.
Anyway, another ship that I'd compare to the VCX-100 is the YT-2000. The YT-2000 sought to expand on the success of the YT-1300 by taking the best features of the 1300 and incorporating them into an updated design. While the 2000 does eliminate the versatile mandibles, replacing them with a center cockpit, this was actually a design compromise as the designers basically had to fit a larger ship into a YT-1300 compatible landing bay. Due to its larger size, the YT-2000 is able to carry more cargo than the YT-1300F while also having comparable passenger space to the YT-1300P due to having a separate, smaller deck for crew and passenger quarters above the main deck, located in the "bulge" around the center of the ship. This ship also had an updated version of the sublight engines used on the YT-1300. As a result, despite its additional bulk the YT-2000 was just as quick as its predecessor. The YT-2000 sold well, but was canceled early because CEC wanted to push the YT-2400 and the YT-2000 was direct, and arguable superior, competition to it.
The Kazellis class would make a good home. It already has a lot of the internal amenities that an adventurer would want (or just someone living in the violent universe that is the Star Wars Galaxy). You could even run a basic repair shop out of it in standard configuration.
Buy one used and use it as a home shop that can leave if the neighbourhood gets rough.
You can survive on occasional low risk cargo runs due to the small initial investment in buying it. And since it has its own machine shop, it's upkeep would be low if you could do repairs and maintenance yourself.
Or since it's only 50,000 credits brand new and can do 1000kmh in atmosphere, it makes a good base ship to be hotted up into a hero ship.
For far less than the cost of the base model of a lot of the other ships mentioned here.
I'm always going to be a huge fan of Corellian's only crate ship, the flying brick, YV-929.
agreed
personally for me when a relatively small ship has a hangar is peak so the Phantom having a docked fighter is like a different flavour of hangar, peak
i have a spacemaster/yt1300 meld, basicly the front of the spacemaster has been replaced with the yt100
XS light Freighter and the Ebon Hawk
Id definitely be getting my own zH-40, a cool droid copilot like k2so or l3. Couple little mods here n there and I'd be a spice smuggling machine lolol
The Star Wars price trends for starships is so inconsistent...it kind of drives me nuts
Great video!
Yeah, I kinda wonder sometimes if the prices are even worth mentioning since they’re so nonsensical.
Lol same but is the ebon hack a frieghter
Woot, no Ebon Hawk?
The Ebon Hawk is excellent, but I didn’t want to use any that are too similar to the Millennium Falcon in name or shape because I’m saving them for a later video!
My favorites would have to be YT-1300, YT-2600, YT-2000, YT-2400BT, and VCX-100.
My favorite is the VCX-100. But I would also love to buy a YT 2400. A used one unfortunately
Used might actually be better, depending on the aftermsrket parts modding. If its missing a good Portion of stuff, fresh and new is the way to go.
Ebony Hawk is cool.
The new Logo looks great. I’m wondering how they tie their cargo down to keep it safe while they travel. Great selection otherwise.
Thanks! I’m not sure how they tie the cargo down usually. I think most cargo crates in Star Wars can be magnetized, so they probably use that.
I would like to mention another great light freighter, the "Maka Eekai L4000", produced by Gallofree Yards, with the "Uhumele" from the DARK TIMES comics as the prime example! The L4000 was a very durable freighter who according to some sources could carry over 400 tons, had three decks and was as easily modifiable like any other freighter! It was also very spacious!
To watch this ship in a live show would be really great, or maybe someone will adapt the DARK TIMES comics to a TV series, which would give us insight in the time immediately after the Clone Wars, when the Empire was on the rise and begun to establish itself!
Yes, the new logo (and it's animation) is cool :)
Thank you!
The VT49 Decimator is a Freighter too, good job, thanks for the vid
apart from the YT line, The Muurian transport is my absolute fave
Yt2600 for me!
Ooh, that’s a very cool one!
@@RadioFreeCoruscant had one in the edge of empire called the nebula slice modded as hell ! Basically a giant buzz droid
@@RadioFreeCoruscant also the fondor haul craft is also another one you can't go wrong with
That sounds cool!
The sound is bad. It's hard to watch.
Yeah, unfortunately I didn’t have time to re-record it this week. I will make sure next week’s video sounds better!
