rdfs:comment | - The PCL 27 was a type of container ship that gained popularity among terraforming expeditions shortly before the Galactic Civil War. It could also be referred to as an A-class bulk freighter. The PCL 27 was 800 meters long, with fully three-quarters of the length of the hull taken up by a massive container housing capable of carrying up to 160,000 metric tons of cargo. The Maxwell & Son terraforming company used ships of this class to carry prefabricated colony compounds through Hyperspace and deposit them on target planets, in a procedure later imitated by the Empire with its prefabricated garrison bases.

abstract | - The PCL 27 was a type of container ship that gained popularity among terraforming expeditions shortly before the Galactic Civil War. It could also be referred to as an A-class bulk freighter. The PCL 27 was 800 meters long, with fully three-quarters of the length of the hull taken up by a massive container housing capable of carrying up to 160,000 metric tons of cargo. The Maxwell & Son terraforming company used ships of this class to carry prefabricated colony compounds through Hyperspace and deposit them on target planets, in a procedure later imitated by the Empire with its prefabricated garrison bases. The PCL 27 had a class 3 hyperdrive and an atmospheric speed of 350 kph. Under normal circumstances, a ship of this class carried a crew of 60, with supplies for six months, but it could be operated by as few as ten personnel. In later years, ships of this type were found in a variety of roles. During the Battle of Sluis Van, Grand Admiral Thrawn sneaked a force of cloaked TIE/LN starfighters into the shipyards inside the hull of a PCL 27 by the name of Nartissteu. Another ship of this class was the Black Lotus, converted by the Camarina Connection to serve as a mobile drug laboratory.
