XS-800 Light Freighter

The XS-800 is a Corellian Engineering freighter defined by its doors rather than its performance. Crews board through a ventral airlock set behind the cockpit and ahead of the living quarters. Cargo goes in somewhere else entirely, through two separate loading elevators serving independent bays on either flank. The interior therefore reads as three compartments rather than one hold with a cabin bolted to it - port bay, crew spine, starboard bay - and the two bays do not connect.

For a working hauler that is simply efficient: load both flanks at once, keep the crew out of the cargo handling. For anyone whose manifest does not match the contents, it is considerably more interesting. An inspection party that opens one elevator and finds exactly what the paperwork promised has no particular reason to walk the spine and open the other side.

The class served through the Imperial era - the Harvester was an XS-800 working shortly after the Battle of Yavin - and it is unglamorous by design: a collection and hauling ship with a civilian layout and no armament worth the name.

(Assumption: this is the most heavily derived entry in the catalog. Current canon describes the XS-800's layout and nothing else - no length, crew, cargo, hyperdrive, armament, shields or speed exists at class level. The figures here are taken from the Distant Wind, a heavily modified Legends XS-800, and then adjusted DOWNWARD: that ship's owner paid for improved shields and for the second of its two laser cannons, which only makes sense if the stock fit was weaker. So this chassis is given a single laser and the weakest shields in its class. Treat the whole stat line as a reasoned reconstruction rather than recorded fact.)
