The YT1000 light freighter was a freighter produced by Corellian Engineering Corp It bore distinct similarities to its successor, the YT1300 light freighter. It was a smaller vessel, and featured a top mounted cockpit. It had been initially intended as well as a potential replacement for the venerable Barloz class Medium Freighters, although even the C.E.C. had not envisioned it as a bold new direction in starship design.. As with the later variants of the YT series, the YT1000 was favored by smugglers, who enjoyed the freedom to tinker with the vessel and add many modifications, such as various weaponry. The model was replaced by the many variants in the YT1000 line, the YT1200 line and later still the YT1300.
