The rugged YT-2400 light transport, easily piloted by a single pilot, was designed with the small-scale independent freighter captain in mind.
While other new models produced by Corellian Engineering Corporation incorporate the latest technological advances, the integrated systems of the YT-2400 are at least 10 years behind the times. While some spacers may view this as a disadvantage, the very simplicity of these designs is a strength in a starship which can be expected to travel far afield of well-stocked repair facilities with a very small crew. Parts are easily found (since most are also used in much older models like the venerable YT-1300), and the ship is easily maintained and serviced in the field. |
