YV-666 Capital Ship
The Star Wars Combine has this to say about the YV-666: Another design brought to life by Corellian engineers, the YV-666 is considerably larger than its smaller and cheaper counterparts. The ship sports a long, tall, blocky main hull with port and starboard maneuvering fins to the rear of the craft for vertical movement. A decent all-round ship, the YV-666 manages to retain the legendary ease of modification usually prevalent in smaller freighters. As with most of the YV series, the YV-666 is built around a two deck main hull. The top deck houses the bridge and navigation systems, while the bottom deck is devoted to engines, power cores, weapons systems and storage bays. The main deck, arguably the major selling point of the ship, is capable of housing both vehicles and fighters. The holds are large enough that one trader claimed he found it could fit a personal residence with room to spare for his speeder. As such, many pirates use the YV-666 as escort carriers on supply raids. Nevertheless, the ship's light armament puts it at something of a disadvantage when faced with better armed customized merchant frigates.
Overall, the YV-666 features a simple but admirably effective propulsion system, granting the freighter considerable maneuverability, as well as decent hyperspace and sub light speeds despite its size.
Roles of the YV-666
The YV series was a series of light freighters put out by Corellian Engineering Corporation. They were intended to be a replacement line to the YT series, but were not anywhere near as successful. Most ships in the YV series had tall, long, and narrow hulls with the cockpit on the top and two large maneuvering fins at the back, near the engines. However, at least two of the models incorporated the disc-like shape of the YT series. However, the capital YV-class freighter in particular was ideal for both smuggling and acting freighter.
Eras of common use
The YV-666 was most commonly employed during the Rebellion Era.
