Overview

An old but sturdy design, the W-23 Star Hauler is built for practicality and not for looks. Only able to carry a captain and pilot in it's cramped flight deck, as most of the available space is devoted to carrying capacity and the engines. It was designed without the usual hangar bay to increase hull strength and its volume capacity and was given only a basic sensor suite to ensure that the power feed to the engines provided enough power to outrun most other freighters from its' time. Unfortunately, it is a compromise between fast freighters with small capacity and old large freighters with slow engines, meaning that it can do both jobs but performs neither job very well. In recent years, outpaced by bulk freighters, it has seen better days. However, its' cheap construction cost causes it to be popular still for those that have less credits or can manage with a fleet of several small freighters.
