Legend

this modified YT-1300 freighter was originally purchased for use by pirates, and was later part of a planetary defense force. The Courageous made no pretensions about being a cargo ship: it was designed to be an offensive force. The front half of the ship was completely removed and replaced with the front sections of a Corellian gunship. A pair of heavy turbolasers, once installed on a Nebulon-B frigate, were installed to give the ship an awesome punch; upgraded power converters were also installed to supply the weapons with power. A turret-mounted double laser cannon completed the armaments. Overall, the Courageous measured 29 meters in length, and required a crew of two officers and two gunners. In its modified configuration, the Courageous could transport just two metric tons of cargo and two passengers.
