Legend

the VCX-series of transports was developed by the Corellian Engineering Corporation in the wake of the Battle of Endor. The VCX-350, like other ships in the VCX line, were designed with enhanced shields, engines, and weapons that were almost military-grade. At 31 meters in length, the VCX-350 was created to be the workhorse of CEC's new line of transports, but it's steep pricetag kept it out of reach of most independent spacers. Because of its high-profile clientele, CEC designed the VCX-350 with luxurious appointments for its crew of two plus a gunner, as well as up to eight passengers. It was armed with a pair of laser cannons to keep pirates at bay, and could carry up to 250 metric tons of cargo. The main section of the ship was wide and flat, with a rounded cockpit mounted along the center spine. The engine section was reminiscent of the YG-5000, with three large sublight engines mounted just aft of the main section.
