Legend

this 27-meter ship was the pleasure version of the Lantillian Deluxe. Designed and manufactured by the Lantillian ShipWrights corporation, this craft was designated GX1 by the corporation. This two-person craft can transport up to 80 metric tons of cargo and up to six passengers. The ship had a bulbous cockpit at the front, with a flattened fuselage behind. A pair of starbilizing wings is connected to the rea portion of the fuselage. It was designed to bring affordable luxury to the average citizen. The Short Hauler required a crew of four to operate, and had enough space for six passengers. The basic version was also armed with a civilian-grade turbolaser cannon. While the craft was considered to be a rugged, durable ship, the Short Hauler suffered from finicky landing gear, which had to be routinely cleaned and lubricated. Also, a number of Short Haulers were recalled for faulty sensor suites, when it was learned that a shipment of Fabritech 7Y4 sensors were found to be bad.
