The hangar just got bigger
We've been busy in the shipyard. Seven new starships just joined the SWURPG catalog — bringing it to 48 ships, 28 of them player-flyable — and every one is free to build, customize, and print in the Starship Builder. From a Sith Lord's personal hunter to a Corellian hauler that CEC itself calls "tired," here's the new fleet.
The infamous one: Darth Maul's Scimitar
You've seen it come out of nowhere, cloaked. The Scimitar — Maul's experimental Sith Infiltrator — is the catalog's first true assassin's ship: very fast, agile, and armed far beyond its size, with a once-per-encounter stygium cloak that drops the instant it fires. It's a glass cannon by design — strike from the dark, then vanish before the return fire lands. Thin shields are the price of all that speed and stealth, so fly it like Maul did: win the first exchange, or don't start the fight.
Smuggler's choice: the Trailblazer & the Kazellis
Two ships for crews who want to be hard to kill and harder to catch. The EML-850 Light Freighter is Kay Vess's Trailblazer from Outlaws — wrapped in durasteel plating that makes it, in its builder's own words, "inconspicuous, virtually indestructible." It's a small, nimble hull that shrugs off punishment most light freighters can't.
Beside it, the Kazellis-class Light Freighter is a rare, sleek flying-wing that's fast and well-shielded straight off the lot, with a quad laser cannon and a self-sufficient interior — machine shop, med bay, armory — for a crew that lives aboard. Only a few hundred were ever built before the Empire shut the company down, which makes it a little legendary.
Honest haulers: the YT-2000 & the Barloz
Love the Falcon but want more teeth? The YT-2000 Light Freighter is Corellian Engineering's up-gunned cousin of the YT-1300 — two laser turrets, heavier shields, more cargo, and a cockpit that breaks away as an emergency lifeboat.
At the other end of the spectrum, the Barloz-class Medium Freighter is the dependable old workhorse — a big, wedge-shaped Corellian hauler that's cheap, roomy, and built for honest trade. CEC may call the design "tired," but a tired reputation never grounded a good freighter, and the Barloz is the perfect blank canvas for a merchant crew or a planetary militia.
Off the beaten path: the GX1 & the 578-R
For the players who never pick the obvious ship. The GX1 Short Hauler is a Lantillian diplomatic shuttle — ten passengers, a month of supplies, and a detachable escape pod for when talks break down. (The Republic flew two famous ones, the Phoenix and the Valorous.)
And our first Legends entry: the 578-R Space Transport, the gloriously unreliable KOTOR-era junk hauler beloved by outlaw techs. It's cheap, barely armed, and notorious for malfunctioning at the worst possible moment — but it's endlessly customizable, a project ship that's all potential for a crew of gearheads.
Pick one and fly
Every one of these is playable right now. Pick a chassis, name your ship, bolt on upgrades and traits, and print a clean ship sheet — all free, no signup to start, in the Starship Builder. Whether you want Maul's cloaked killer or a beat-up junker with room to grow, your next ship is one click away.
