The Barloz-class medium freighter was once one of the most popular vessels to travel the spaceways - the YT-1300 or Ghtroc of its era. In the latter days of the Old Republic, a medium freighter was equivalent to the light freighter of the Imperial era. Long since supplanted by the YT series, modified Barlozs continue to compete against its descendents in the Outer Rim Territories.
The Barloz was developed roughly three decades before the Corellian Engineering Corporation unveiled the YT-series craft. Several of the "design innovations" touted by CEC pitchmen were in fact introduced aboard the older Barloz. However, CEC's aggressive marketing campaign for the YT-series spelled the end of the venerable Barloz.
One of principal strengths of the Barloz-class freighter is its size: 41 meters long, 20 meters high and capable of storing over 100 metric tons of cargo. The size, coupled with the craft's durability, made it an ideal craft for cargo shippers...and smugglers. |
