It's a hell of a dark age out there, but the wheels of commerce still turn while the galaxy burns, and freighters are the spokes on those wheels. Cargoes, legal and otherwise, race from star to star, flown here and there by daring captains with credit signs big in their eyes. Naturally, the market provides those captains with dozens of options for getting from point aurek to point besh, all of them a little different. For new blood, it can be hard to figure out where to even begin looking for the right ship. That's where this guide comes into play.
What follows is a rundown of just about every modern cargo-bearing starcraft, from zippy little lighters to massive bulk freighters. This list should make it easy to sort through the vast catalog of products and find just the right model to transport you across the cosmos.
In case of disparity between the Factory and this guide for cargo or passenger capacity, the Factory value prevails in dominions, skirmishes, invasions and rebellions, and with transport of hazardous materials, but in all other circumstances you may use the value in this guide, while keeping in mind that cargo volume cannot be exceeded. Exceed the Factory ratings at your own risk!
If there's a ship I missed, or one that's restricted and should be removed from the list, or you disagree with a description, drop me a line and we'll talk. Good hauling!
Here's how each starship entry works:
Name of Manufacturer and Ship (Hyperlinked to the Factory entry)
Minimum Crew: Number of sentients required to get the ship off the ground
Optimal Crew: Number of sentients to have the ship run at full efficiency
Cargo Capacity: Amount of cargo the ship can haul, in metric tonnes
Passenger Capacity: Amount of non-crew sentients the ship can transport
Hyperdrive Rating: Multiplier for hyperspace travel time; lower is better
Sublight Rating: Speed and maneuverability in space; lower is better
Dimensions: Size of the ship, height x width x length, in meters
Vanir Technologies Varactyl-class Escort Freighter
Minimum Crew: 1 Optimal Crew: 8 Cargo Capacity: 1t Passenger Capacity: 3
Hyperdrive Rating: 1 Sublight Rating: 3 Dimensions: 8 x 25 x 34
Fast, lightly-armored vessel with spacious staterooms and a solarium glasteel canopy. Boasts a deadly particle gatling cannon capable of taking down much larger ships, but prone to destructive reactor spikes if power isn't properly managed.

Minimum Crew: 1 Optimal Crew: 3 Cargo Capacity: 10t Passenger Capacity: 40
Hyperdrive Rating: 1 Sublight Rating: 7 Dimensions: 11 x 28 x 62
No such thing as a standard Waverunner; SO many options, including a lightning-fast 0.5-rated hyperdrive. Can be outfitted with staterooms, troop transport pods, or cargo holds. Slow at sublight, and with almost no weapons, but with extremely powerful redundant shields.
Haven Shipyards AT-360 Light Freighter
Minimum Crew: 1 Optimal Crew: 3 Cargo Capacity: 15t Passenger Capacity: 5
Hyperdrive Rating: 1 Sublight Rating: 3 / 2 Dimensions: 27 x 25 x 44
Fragile and lightly-armed, but incredibly fast and agile, with afterburners that let it keep up with some starfighters at full burn (though it guzzles fuel). For when you absolutely must win the Boonta Eve Classic in a starship while carrying a very small cargo.
Lucerne Labs LL-1300 Shuttle
Minimum Crew: 1 Optimal Crew: 3 Cargo Capacity: 20t Passenger Capacity: 16
Hyperdrive Rating: 1 Sublight Rating: 4 Dimensions: 4 x 8 x 17

Minimum Crew: 1 Optimal Crew: 2 Cargo Capacity: 45t Passenger Capacity: 3
Hyperdrive Rating: 2 Sublight Rating: 3 Dimensions: 40 x 10 x 20
Zippy little ship made out of coral grown over a durasteel frame. Submersible to 500m, in case you need to go swimming but don't like getting wet. The controls are all labeled in Gungan script, making it almost impossible for non-Gungans to operate.
Silk Holdings, Inc. Tachyon-class Light Freighter
Minimum Crew: 1 Optimal Crew: 2 Cargo Capacity: 60t Passenger Capacity: 2
Hyperdrive Rating: 3 Sublight Rating: 4 Dimensions: 4 x 10 x 17

Arakyd Industries Templar-class Light Freighter
Minimum Crew: 1 Optimal Crew: 3 Cargo Capacity: 65t Passenger Capacity: 15
Hyperdrive Rating: 2 Sublight Rating: 4 Dimensions: 36 x 22 x 12
Elegant, luxurious, and well-armed, these ships blur the line between freighter and yacht. Good luck getting one, though; they were a limited production run for high-ranking members of the now-fallen Techno Union.
Moross Shipwrights Cyhraeth-class Light Freighter
Minimum Crew: 1 Optimal Crew: 3 Cargo Capacity: 75t Passenger Capacity: 15
Hyperdrive Rating: 1 Sublight Rating: 4 Dimensions: 15 x 20 x 45
Bug-looking ship used by the now-vanished Moross Crusade. Reasonably fast, but light on cargo space. Can be switched to dormitory configuration, with five classy staterooms instead of fifteen utilitarian bunks.

Hyperdrive Rating: 3 Sublight Rating: 4.5 Dimensions: 24 x 52 x 82
Slow, ugly, weaponless freighter with exposed drive housing. Cargo bay is too tall, but doubles as hangar for cargo loaders or speeders. Must've been someone's labor of love. Maybe everyone will assume you can't be carrying anything valuable with such a piece of junk and leave you alone. Only possible use: carry something weirdly tall from Planet Peace to Planet Love.
Lucerne Labs LL-1200 Light Freighter
Minimum Crew: 1 Optimal Crew: 5 Cargo Capacity: 85t Passenger Capacity: 6
Hyperdrive Rating: 1 Sublight Rating: 4 Dimensions: 5 x 10 x 22

Minimum Crew: 1 Optimal Crew: 4 Cargo Capacity: 100t Passenger Capacity: 15
Hyperdrive Rating: 2 Sublight Rating: 3 Dimensions: 8 x 25 x 36
Extremely agile freighter, but with small cargo capacity. Sometimes even that is stripped out to make way for more passenger capacity; makes for a great passenger liner.
Inquisition Industries Modified YT-1300 Light Freighter
Minimum Crew: 1 Optimal Crew: 2 Cargo Capacity: 100t Passenger Capacity: 15
Hyperdrive Rating: 0.5 Sublight Rating: 2.5 Dimensions: 8 x 26 x 35
Among the fastest vessels out there, both in hyperspace and at sublight. Heavily armed and highly maneuverable thanks to its KV807-A engine system, which allows it to stop forward momentum and spin to match starfighters. Whisper drive makes the engines difficult to pick up. EXTREMELY expensive, and comes without shields. "Already have a stupid amount of money, and just in smuggling for the thrills? This is the ship for you."
MandalMotors AP-237 Light Freighter
Minimum Crew: 1 Optimal Crew: 2 Cargo Capacity: 100t Passenger Capacity: 10

Minimum Crew: 1 Optimal Crew: 4 Cargo Capacity: 150t Passenger Capacity: 6
Hyperdrive Rating: 2 Sublight Rating: 4 Dimensions: 5 x 5 x 22
Heavily armed and armored, with great cargo capacity for such a small package. The Sigma refit took away some of the heavy weapons to reduce strain on the reactor, but Corellian modularity can easily add it back. The "pocket nuke" of freighters.
Inquisition Industries Sekallien Runner
Minimum Crew: 1 Optimal Crew: 2 Cargo Capacity: 150t Passenger Capacity: 8
Hyperdrive Rating: 1 Sublight Rating: 6 Dimensions: 20 x 35 x 70

Nova-Drive 13-Z Light Freighter
Minimum Crew: 1 Optimal Crew: 2 Cargo Capacity: 160t Passenger Capacity: 8
Hyperdrive Rating: 2 Sublight Rating: 5 Dimensions: 10 x 30 x 45
Modestly-armed light freighter that's easily modified and has impressive range. Has almost no emergency backup systems, though, including for the sublight engines. The recessed cockpit creates blind spots for the pilot, which some get around by installing cameras and monitors.
Silk Holdings Ghtroc 840 Light Freighter
Minimum Crew: 1 Optimal Crew: 2 Cargo Capacity: 180t Passenger Capacity: 10
Hyperdrive Rating: 1 Sublight Rating: 4 Dimensions: 8 x 40 x 39

Corellian Engineering Corporation ZX Light Freighter
Minimum Crew: 1 Optimal Crew: 6 Cargo Capacity: 200t Passenger Capacity: 12
Hyperdrive Rating: 2 Sublight Rating: 3 Dimensions: 11 x 17 x 29
Revived pre-Gulag design. Extremely sturdy, able to hold together with hull breaches over 70% of its structure. Four large engines, externally housed for easy repair (and easy targeting...), make it extremely zippy at sublight. Heat sinks at the wings create plasma trails when active.
MandalTech Okyaab-class Freighter
Minimum Crew: 2 Optimal Crew: 12 Cargo Capacity: 200t Passenger Capacity: 12
Hyperdrive Rating: 0.6 Sublight Rating: 4 Dimensions: 20 x 40 x 90

Minimum Crew: 2 Optimal Crew: 8 Cargo Capacity: 325t Passenger Capacity: 28
Hyperdrive Rating: 2 Sublight Rating: 3 Dimensions: 13 x 29 x 47
Sleek and agile, with an attractive winged design that can retract to reduce its target profile at the cost of sensor accuracy, but lightly-armed. Powerful J4 sensors to keep it away from combat. Extremely modular. Lovely staterooms with leather upholstery and dual sonic-water showers.
Corellian Engineering Corporation MXC-1150 Light Freighter
Minimum Crew: 0 / 1 Optimal Crew: 3 Cargo Capacity: 400t Passenger Capacity: 0
Hyperdrive Rating: 2 Sublight Rating: 5 Dimensions: 39 x 9 x 15
Made as a comeback craft for CEC after the destruction of Corellia. Has a J9a remote command system, so minimum crew is technically zero. Powerplant produces far more energy than stock systems use, making it easy to upgrade extensively.

Hyperdrive Rating: 1 Sublight Rating: 3 Dimensions: 7.5 x 20 x 40
Lightly-armed freighter that focuses heavily on speed, with most of the weight in the engine. Has an airspeeder hangar. Two weapon hardpoints, but installing weapons decreases speed and maneuverability, which defeats the ship's purpose.

Hyperdrive Rating: 1 Sublight Rating: 4 Dimensions: 24 x 52 x 82
Badly-needed update of the near-worthless Washburn class. Powerful stealth engines, tough shields, countermeasures like cap drains and tractor shrouds, plus trapped airlocks that deliver a powerful stun blast if you try to cut through. Classic smuggling vessel.

Minimum Crew: 17 Optimal Crew: 35 Cargo Capacity: 1,300t Passenger Capacity: 40
Hyperdrive Rating: 5 Sublight Rating: 4 Dimensions: 20 x 70 x 40
Total opposite to its name. Extremely durable ship with extra-thick durasteel hulls and four turbolasers, but such a slow hyperdrive it's practically worthless except in-system. That one time that Incom tried to make a freighter.
Corellian Engineering Corporation Turhaya-class Freighter
Minimum Crew: 10 Optimal Crew: 39 Cargo Capacity: 1,600t Passenger Capacity: 240
Hyperdrive Rating: 1 Sublight Rating: 4 Dimensions: 17 x 54 x 125

It's a hell of a dark age out there, but the wheels of commerce still turn while the galaxy burns, and freighters are the spokes on those wheels. Cargoes, legal and otherwise, race from star to star, flown here and there by daring captains with credit signs big in their eyes. Naturally, the market provides those captains with dozens of options for getting from point aurek to point besh, all of them a little different. For new blood, it can be hard to figure out where to even begin looking for the right ship. That's where this guide comes into play.
What follows is a rundown of just about every modern cargo-bearing starcraft, from zippy little lighters to massive bulk freighters. This list should make it easy to sort through the vast catalog of products and find just the right model to transport you across the cosmos.
In case of disparity between the Factory and this guide for cargo or passenger capacity, the Factory value prevails in dominions, skirmishes, invasions and rebellions, and with transport of hazardous materials, but in all other circumstances you may use the value in this guide, while keeping in mind that cargo volume cannot be exceeded. Exceed the Factory ratings at your own risk!
If there's a ship I missed, or one that's restricted and should be removed from the list, or you disagree with a description, drop me a line and we'll talk. Good hauling!
Here's how each starship entry works:
Name of Manufacturer and Ship (Hyperlinked to the Factory entry)
Minimum Crew: Number of sentients required to get the ship off the ground
Optimal Crew: Number of sentients to have the ship run at full efficiency
Cargo Capacity: Amount of cargo the ship can haul, in metric tonnes
Passenger Capacity: Amount of non-crew sentients the ship can transport
Hyperdrive Rating: Multiplier for hyperspace travel time; lower is better
Sublight Rating: Speed and maneuverability in space; lower is better
Dimensions: Size of the ship, height x width x length, in meters

Hyperdrive Rating: 2 Sublight Rating: 4 Dimensions: 36 x 22 x 12

Hyperdrive Rating: 3 Sublight Rating: 4.5 Dimensions: 24 x 52 x 82
Slow, ugly, weaponless freighter with exposed drive housing. Cargo bay is too tall, but doubles as hangar for cargo loaders or speeders. Must've been someone's labor of love. Maybe everyone will assume you can't be carrying anything valuable with such a piece of junk and leave you alone. Only possible use: carry something weirdly tall from Planet Peace to Planet Love.
Lucerne Labs LL-1200 Light Freighter
Minimum Crew: 1 Optimal Crew: 5 Cargo Capacity: 85t Passenger Capacity: 6
Hyperdrive Rating: 1 Sublight Rating: 4 Dimensions: 5 x 10 x 22

Hyperdrive Rating: 0.5 Sublight Rating: 2.5 Dimensions: 8 x 26 x 35
Among the fastest vessels out there, both in hyperspace and at sublight. Heavily armed and highly maneuverable thanks to its KV807-A engine system, which allows it to stop forward momentum and spin to match starfighters. Whisper drive makes the engines difficult to pick up. EXTREMELY expensive, and comes without shields. "Already have a stupid amount of money, and just in smuggling for the thrills? This is the ship for you."

Hyperdrive Rating: 2 Sublight Rating: 4 Dimensions: 5 x 5 x 22
Heavily armed and armored, with great cargo capacity for such a small package. The Sigma refit took away some of the heavy weapons to reduce strain on the reactor, but Corellian modularity can easily add it back. The "pocket nuke" of freighters.

Minimum Crew: 1 Optimal Crew: 2 Cargo Capacity: 150t Passenger Capacity: 8
Hyperdrive Rating: 1 Sublight Rating: 6 Dimensions: 20 x 35 x 70

Hyperdrive Rating: 2 Sublight Rating: 5 Dimensions: 10 x 30 x 45

Hyperdrive Rating: 2 Sublight Rating: 3 Dimensions: 11 x 17 x 29
Revived pre-Gulag design. Extremely sturdy, able to hold together with hull breaches over 70% of its structure. Four large engines, externally housed for easy repair (and easy targeting...), make it extremely zippy at sublight. Heat sinks at the wings create plasma trails when active.

Corellian Engineering Corporation MXC-1150 Light Freighter
Minimum Crew: 0 / 1 Optimal Crew: 3 Cargo Capacity: 400t Passenger Capacity: 0
Hyperdrive Rating: 2 Sublight Rating: 5 Dimensions: 39 x 9 x 15
Made as a comeback craft for CEC after the destruction of Corellia. Has a J9a remote command system, so minimum crew is technically zero. Powerplant produces far more energy than stock systems use, making it easy to upgrade extensively.

Hyperdrive Rating: 5 Sublight Rating: 4 Dimensions: 20 x 70 x 40
Total opposite to its name. Extremely durable ship with extra-thick durasteel hulls and four turbolasers, but such a slow hyperdrive it's practically worthless except in-system. That one time that Incom tried to make a freighter.
Corellian Engineering Corporation Turhaya-class Freighter
Minimum Crew: 10 Optimal Crew: 39 Cargo Capacity: 1,600t Passenger Capacity: 240
Hyperdrive Rating: 1 Sublight Rating: 4 Dimensions: 17 x 54 x 125

Hyperdrive Rating: 3 Sublight Rating: 9 Dimensions: 90 x 80 x 200
