Carryall Class Freighter

Description:
Phylon designed the Carryall in attempt to break into the lucrative light freighter market after Corellia came under siege. In order to distinguish the design from older models which could go on being used forever, Phylon also took a page from the ancient GR-75 of long since defunct Gallofree Yards. While the main body of the Carryall looks like that of any other freighter, two massive structures jut out from the center containing the ships array of tractor beams, and magnetic hardpoints. Between the structures cargo pods can be secured giving the Carryall a much greater cargo capacity than the infamous Corellian designs. While the main hull of the ship can carry about 150 tons of cargo, the cargo pod space allows for an increase to a total of 900 tons.

This allows independent freight captains to fight above their weight so to speak, and better compete with the big freight liners. Unfortunately this high cargo capacity comes at a cost. Phylon also wanted their new design to be faster than most available, and the designers sacrificed a great deal in order to make it so spry. The only weapons are four point defense blaster cannons, mounted in single turrets across the hull to allow them to cover all four quadrants of the ship as they are divided by the cargo structure, and main body. The shields are light, there is little in the way of armor plating, and there's even less room for owners to make the sort of modifications that made CEC ships so famous in the first place. There is however a great deal of room for additional features and weaponry where cargo pods are normally placed, and the design has been something of a moderate success for Phylon thus far. Such modifications include missile launchers, heavier shield generators, and in some rare cases specialized pods for additional passengers. Due to the odd shape, the Carryall must land on its "back" which can be something of a challenge for novice pilots. ​
