Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Knights of the Old Republic Campaign Guide
The turmoil of The Old Republic Era necessitates the creation of several Starship designs that are more heavily armed than typical civilian ships. Arakyd Industries' Lethisk-Class Armed Freighter is a large Space Transport designed to hold its own against military forces, raiders, and other hazards in the war-torn galaxy. Though the Republic shows stern disapproval when the ship is first introduced, Arakyd Industries is able to put the Starship into mass production thanks to a Republic defense-contract clause that allows it to sell military-grade equipment in limited quantities. The 34-meter-long Lethisk-Class Armed Freighter features superior armor and powerful Laser Cannons, enabling the ship to travel throughout the galaxy without Starfighter escorts.
Even though Arakyd produces the ship for sale to the general public, the cost of the Lethisk-Class keeps it out of the hands of any but the richest citizens. Wealthy families (Such as the Sandal family of Dantooine) snatch up most of the production run of the Lethisk-Class Armed Freighter, but many find their way into the hands of crime lords and smugglers. Shortly after the Lethisk-Class transport is introduced to the public, a government inquiry into Arakyd Industries uncovers a small cadre of employees that arranged for several well-known criminals (Including upper-tier members of The Exchange) to receive a number of first-run armed freighters at a significant discount. Following a Republic inquiry, seven Arakyd employees- including the Sector Executive of the Raioballo Sector- are sent to the spice mines of Kessel for selling more than 30 Lethisk-Class Armed Freighters to Exchange crime bosses.
