DESCRIPTION
The YT-1200 light freighter is a versatile but archaic transport ship designed and manufactured by the venerable Corellian Engineering Corporation in the decades prior to the Clone Wars. The direct predecessor to the iconic YT-1300, the YT-1200 did not sell as many ships as its successor, but was an important step in its development. Due to its place in history, the YT-1200 has become a collector's item in its own right, although it is still not nearly as common as the YT-1300 in the present day. The YT-1200 series came in two variants, the standard YT-1200 and the slightly up-market YT-1210; most examples which have survived are either of the latter type or have been retrofitted to its specifications.

The YT-1200 was well specced in its day, but is considered inferior to most other vessels of its class in the present. The type has a crew of 2, with 4 passengers and consumables for up to 2 months in space. Cargo capacity is 100 tons. The ship's sublight drive can push 55 MGLT, actually slightly faster than a stock YT-1300, and boasts a class 2 hyperdrive. Armament is relatively poor, with only a single fixed medium laser cannon, and with a medium deflector shield for defense.

YT-1200s are fairly rare in the present day, the design being well over 200 years old. They are simple and durable enough that some still can be found in service, and these are highly sought after by collectors. It is still possible to get a good deal on one, however, especially from scrap yards; like most YT-series designs, the type is highly modular and easy to repair or modify.

LEGALITY
Legal. Light freighters such as the YT-1200 are considered innocuous enough under most jurisdictions, and are not restricted in most systems.

INTENT
To create a standard civilian transport.
