You can now build the Ebon Hawk
For a whole generation of tabletop players, the ship that feels like Star Wars isn't the Millennium Falcon — it's the Ebon Hawk, the smuggler's freighter at the heart of Knights of the Old Republic. It's the ship an amnesiac Revan stole to escape the Sith bombardment of Taris, the mobile home base you upgraded between worlds, the deck you paced while your companions argued in the hold.
In canon it's a Dynamic-class light freighter, and it's one of two classic ships just added to the Starship Builder — bringing the playable roster to thirty.
The Dynamic-class — the customizer's canvas
Here's the thing most people don't know about the Ebon Hawk: stock, it wasn't special. The Dynamic-class light freighter was built one at a time on a remote Republic world, modestly armed, modestly shielded, and saddled with a slow Class-3 hyperdrive. What made it legendary was the chassis — engineered from the keel up to be taken apart and rebuilt, with open hardpoints begging to be filled. Its name was the sales pitch. The Ebon Hawk's fabled speed, the "fastest ship in the Outer Rim," was a heavy modification, not the factory build.
That makes it the perfect builder ship. In SWURPG it arrives cheap, sturdy, and generous with hardpoints — a bare frame that rewards a crew who'd rather earn their ship's reputation than buy it. Corellian Engineering Corporation borrowed its half-saucer hull and offset cockpit millennia later when they designed the YT-series, so in a real sense the Falcon is its descendant. Build up a Dynamic-class over a campaign and you're retracing the exact path that produced the most famous ship in the galaxy.
The VCX-350 — the premium hauler
The VCX-350 light freighter comes at it from the opposite direction. Introduced in the New Republic era — once the Empire was no longer dictating what a civilian ship could carry — the VCX-350 arrives already excellent: the heaviest stock shields in its class, a big hold, comfortable staterooms instead of the usual bunks, and a fast Class-1 hyperdrive. It rivalled Corellian Engineering's own YT-1300 for the title of best-known freighter in the fleet, and the information broker Talon Karrde kept one for himself.
Where the Dynamic-class is a canvas, the VCX-350 is a finished painting — expensive, overbuilt, and sturdy enough that pirates used to hijack them for the ships alone. If your crew has the credits and wants to fly something that shrugs off a fight, this is the one.
