The base ship is unimpressive on paper: average speed, no shields worth mentioning, one turret hardpoint, a Class 2 hyperdrive that takes a Corellian week to reach the next sector. What makes it legendary is the chassis itself — engineered with so much internal headroom and so few proprietary systems that virtually anything can be bolted on, ripped out, or swapped between trips.\n\nThe most famous YT-1300 in the galaxy is the Millennium Falcon, captained at various times by Lando Calrissian, Han Solo, and Rey. Han's Falcon has been modified so far past spec that almost nothing of the original CEC build remains: a military-grade Class 0.5 hyperdrive, twin quad laser cannons, a smuggler's hold built into the floor plates, illegal sensor jammers, and a comm package that can spoof Imperial IFF codes. The Falcon's reputation as 'the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy' is the YT-1300 sales pitch in one line — slow and ugly stock, but anything is possible after enough credits and the right mechanic.\n\nYT-1300s are still in service centuries after the line went out of regular production. Their longevity comes from the same modularity that made them famous: parts are interchangeable across the entire production run, and most Corellian sector shipyards still stock the basic spare frame components.

Katarn used the Crow throughout the Galactic Civil War as a personal infiltration vehicle — fast enough to outrun TIE fighters, sensor-equipped enough to pick out Imperial patrol routes from astronomical distances, and small enough to land on rooftops or in crater fields without attracting attention. The Crow was destroyed and later rebuilt several times over Katarn's career; the HWK chassis's modular construction made the rebuilds practical despite the model being more than a century out of regular production.\n\nFor player crews, the HWK-290 is the solo-operator chassis. It carries 2 passengers and a Class 1 hyperdrive — meaning a single PC plus a co-pilot/companion can run courier work, scout sorties, or stealth insertions without needing a four-person table.
