Lore
The Ghtroc 720 is the cheapest mass-produced light freighter in galactic commerce — Ghtroc Industries' answer to the question 'what if a YT-1300 cost half as much and was twice as fragile?' Built primarily during the late Republic era and ubiquitous in the Outer Rim throughout the Galactic Civil War, the 720 is the freighter you buy when you can't afford a Corellian, can't get parts for one, or specifically need a ship the Imperial customs office won't bother to scan twice.
Ghtroc Industries went bankrupt during the Clone Wars, and the 720 line has been out of regular production for decades — but the ship is still common because Ghtroc built tens of thousands of them, the design is dead simple, and replacement parts can be fabricated by any reasonably competent freighter mechanic from common scrap. A 720 owner trades cargo capacity and speed for ubiquity and anonymity. Tens of thousands of these things ply the Outer Rim shipping lanes; one more attracts no attention.
The Ghtroc 720 is the smuggler's economy choice and the Outer Rim courier's daily driver. Stock, it's slow and lightly armed and the sensors are 'basic' to the point of comedy — but it carries 135 tons of cargo for the price of a fixer-upper speeder and ten passengers can stretch out in the cabin. Players running a low-budget campaign or wanting their ship to feel like an underdog should consider the 720 their starting hull.
