- Bulk Freighter: The external cargo bay on the belly of the transport can hold dozens of cargo containers up to 32 meters in length, equating to tens of thousands of tons worth of cargo.
- Modular: Due to the external cargo bay, the freighter is highly modular and some CT-2200s can be modified as light carriers, or easily outfitted with more advanced systems than the base model.
- Aft Coverage: The design of the transport provided it with very large engines, but nothing in the way of defensive weaponry for aft coverage.
- Point-Defense: While the freighter could repel gunships and larger vessels, the tracking systems on its turbolasers might struggle with nimble starfighters.
In order to run a mining and construction company, you need to get your mined ore and construction equipment from point A to point B without having your cargo plundered. Looking at a market inundated with overly-complex and incredibly expensive models, Azimuth Industries elected to simply design their own in conjunction with some shipwrights from Fondor's famous Shipyards.
Eager to put one over on the usual dominators of the cargo hauling realm - Corellian Engineering Corporation - while avoiding the insane costs of dealing with stygium triprismatic polymer coated wonder ships, the team set out to make the simplest design they could, which resulted in the CT-2200.
Azimuth and the engineers at the Fondor Shipyards assure you that any resemblance to the Consular-class Cruiser (a product of CEC) is total and complete happenstance.
This craft is an armed bulk freight transport that will swiftly get its massive amount of cargo from point A to point B. And if a couple in your merchant fleet happen to be lost to piracy or freak accidents, you won't break the bank buying a dozen more to replace them.
After all, the more you move the more you make.
