Lore
The VCX-100 light freighter is Corellian Engineering Corporation's mid-line offering — bigger than the YT-1300, slower than the YT-2400, designed for crews that needed to live aboard their ship for extended deployments. At 43.9 meters with a roomy interior, the VCX-100 is the closest the YT/VCX line gets to a 'home' rather than a 'rig.' The chassis ships with twin dual-mounted laser turrets (dorsal and ventral) and an external mounting clamp that can dock a smaller auxiliary craft — typically a Sienar Fleet Systems Phantom II or similar light shuttle.
The defining VCX-100 in canon is the Ghost, captained by Twi'lek pilot Hera Syndulla as the home and operational base of the Spectres rebel cell during the early Galactic Civil War. The Ghost's auxiliary craft, the Phantom (and later Phantom II), gave the Spectres a unique tactical capability — the main ship could drop atmospheric and the Phantom could conduct a separate strike or scout sortie. Hera's Ghost was also fitted with reinforced shielding, an extended-range sensor mast, and a smuggler's compartment under the engineering deck.
VCX-100s are the family-crew freighter of choice. The Ghost crew (Hera, Kanan, Sabine, Zeb, Ezra, Chopper) wasn't unusual — VCX-100s typically house 4-6 long-term occupants, with the cargo bay flexible enough to convert between hauling work and crew quarters between jobs. Players running a four-person crew with strong tactical roles (pilot, co-pilot, two gunners, plus an astromech) fit the VCX-100 mold cleanly.
