abstract
  • The YT-2000 Light Freighter is an evolutionary development of the popular YT series of light freighters from the Corellian Engineering Corporation. It was rumored the engineers at CEC had trouble convincing the Imperial Regulatory Commission that the YT-2000 was a civilian ship. This ship is heavily armed and armored and is amazingly agile for a craft of its size. The YT-2000 bears an obvious family resemblance to its predecessor the YT-1300. The YT-2000 is prized for its ready adaptability to a variety of duties, just like the YT-1300 Transport. The cockpit is situated in the center of the craft, unlike the YT-2000's predecessors, also the cockpit set-up is different. Instead of having the pilot and co-pilot side by side, the pilot is in front while the co-pilot is situated behind and raised above the pilot. There is no room for other persons in the cockpit. Even with all of these changes, this ship still maintains the traditional YT series saucer design. Released on the open market shortly after the Battle of Yavin IV, the YT-2000 was meant to be a more up-to-date version of the YT-1300. Having a lot of the same systems and designs as the YT-1300, the two ships are virtually identical with the exception of the YT-2000 having more cargo space and the cockpit extending from between the mandibles instead of from the side. The YT-2000 has 20 emplacement points built into its design and only uses 12 in its stock configuration, leaving 8 to allow for defense system modifications by future owners. In addition, the YT-2000 has two escape pods, located on the left and right sides of the main saucer, and are easily reachable from the cockpit.
  • The YT-2000 combined the YT-1300's successful saucer-like design with the YT-1930's symmetrical theme, including the centralized cockpit placement. The standard cockpit design of the YT-2000 deviated from the pilot and co-pilot sitting side by side, as in previous models. Instead, the pilot sat in front while the co-pilot was situated behind and raised above the pilot, with no room for any other people in the cockpit. Due to the turbulent times in which the ship was designed and produced, the YT-2000 boasted heavier standard shields and weapons (two dual laser turrets) than most civilian freighters, certainly than any of its predecessors. The heavy armament and shields, coupled with its speed and maneuverability, caused many Imperial officials to view the YT-2000 being marketed as a "civilian" ship with suspicion. Rumors abounded that the YT-2000 was originally intended to be the "next generation" model of transports for Corellian Engineering Corporation; however, extensive industrial espionage leaked the early design specifications to competing shipyards. This forced CEC to put the YT-2000 into production before all of its potential drawbacks had been worked out. This resulted in this ship being touchier than previous models. However, its extensive cargo capacity, good defenses, and amazing maneuverability for a ship its size, coupled with plenty of space and power to make custom modifications, earned it a place as one of the more popular YT models among its owners. The YT-2000 had a limited production run, though not due to low sales. The line was discontinued early so CEC could push their new YT-2400 line, which had not been compromised by industrial espionage.
