Description: Designed by CEC, the YT-950 was designed on commission from CorSec as part of its Anti-Smuggling initiative. This is the standard variant made by CEC for the general public. It is highly modular just like many of the YT line and boasts above average speed and handling. With a deep and seemingly cavernous cargo bay and its easy of modification coupled with its low price, the ship has ironically become a staple among smugglers and other more legitimate customers despite its original purpose.

[member="Dracken Pryce"], if you somehow demonstrate that [member="Cal Sedaire"] is okay with you using CEC as a manufacturer for this submission (a screenshot of a message, liking a post in this thread, etc).

Length: 47 Meters Width: 25.6 Meters Height: 8.37 Meters

Squadron Count: Low: 8

From the template:

Squadron Count: (Please provide the amount of fighters this submission would have in a squadron. The average squadron for any starfighter is 12, at lengths averaging 12.5 meters. The bigger the fighter, the smaller your Squadron Count should be. The smaller the fighter, the bigger your Squadron count can be.

To be clear, I think that while the stats are perfectly balanced as they are right now, however, as the rules are currently written, I can't really say that 47 meters is only a little larger than 12.5 meters (it'd probably be something like 16 meters at "Low").

I'm flexible on how you want to address this even if that means some stat rebalancing (smaller squadron count, smaller size, or some combination within there).

All good to use CEC
