G9 Rigger Light Freighter

The G9 Rigger is Corellian Engineering Corporation's bounty-hunter-and-smuggler-specific freighter — a smaller, faster, more heavily armed cousin to the YT line, marketed to professional buyers who wanted a freighter that fought first and hauled cargo second. At 24 meters, the G9 is smaller than a YT-1300 but more agile, with a Class 1.5 hyperdrive and a factory-installed concealed turret in the upper hull that doesn't show on standard customs scans.

The G9's most famous appearance is the Punishing One, owned by the Corellian bounty hunter Dengar. Dengar's Punishing One has the standard concealed turret, plus a forward fixed laser cannon and a heavily reinforced cockpit canopy that lets the ship absorb glancing blaster shots without ventilating the pilot. Dengar's ship became a recurring fixture of the post-Empire Strikes Back bounty hunter cohort, alongside Boba Fett's Slave I and Bossk's Hound's Tooth. Decades earlier another G9 made history: the Twilight, the battered Rigger Anakin Skywalker commandeered to escape Teth during the Clone Wars, fending off Rogue-class starfighters in a desperate run over Tatooine.

For a player crew, the G9 Rigger is the 'we hunt and we trade' chassis. Smaller crew capacity than a YT-1300 (1 pilot + 1 gunner + 4 passengers), so it's not a family-crew ship — but the gun loadout is real, and the Class 1.5 hyperdrive means it can keep pace with a chase across sectors. Bounty hunter parties and small mercenary outfits gravitate toward the G9 because it looks the part: aggressive, hardpointed, and visibly not interested in hauling produce.
