Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Legacy Era Campaign Guide
A recent addition to the ever-popular Y-series of Space Transports, the Corellian YX-1980 is a well-defended cargo hauler capable of carrying goods (or contraband) from one side of the galaxy to the other with little fuss. Equipped with Starship Shields far more powerful than those on most Space Transports, the YX-1980 is a ship designed for defense first, offense second. Though the ship comes equipped with a set of Medium Laser Cannons, the ship's true asset is its ability to take a beating. Somewhat slower than other Space Transports on the market, the YX-1980 boasts a decent-sized cargo hold that spreads cargo over a larger area, reducing the strain placed on the repulsors and artificial gravity systems.
Structurally, the transport has large openings that separate different parts of the ship and it's systems. While many owners grumble about the difficulty modifying this design, others have embraced the designers' attempt to separate it's various systems, reducing the chances of multiple system failures from a single malfunction. Mechanics checks to install or upgrade a YX-1980's systems take a -5 penalty due to the dispersal of the YX-1980's systems. However, the Starship has a higher-than-average Damage Threshold to account for the reduced chance of multiple system failures.
The YX-1980 is currently one of the most popular Starships in the galaxy for smugglers and tramp freighters captains. Like all vessels from the Corellian Engineering Corporation, the YX-1980 has plenty of space for additional modifications and new systems, catering to owners who enjoy customizing their ships. Likewise, in a galaxy growing ever more dangerous with the threat of the Sith and the Galactic Empire, the extra shielding on the YX-1980 is always welcome, as trigger-happy Imperial gunners have few compunctions about taking shots at any Space Transports they deem "Suspicious."
The Grinning Liar, used by the smuggler Kee and Chak, is a Corellian YX-1980 Space Transport.
