Awvrell Wayrcn The Wayrcn brothers really didn’t want to participate in politics or military related contracts, not that they saw any- thing wrong with those noble pursuits, but rather they just wanted to concentrate on the largely ignored civilian market and so using skilled designers, starship engineers and ship- wrights they created shipyard that were well known for their modular freighters which could be upgraded easily for both comfort and combat if necessary. “Whether we’re teaming up with Loronar Corporation to jointly fund The Nerfworks, a think tank responsible for a number of starship designs, including some droid starships, or jointly owning Chempat Engineered Defenses with Kuat Drive Yards, we’ve kept jobs on Corellia and for Corellians by creating and funding subsidiaries that helped bolster the planetary economy. When the senior design team of Corellia StarDrive was killed in a shuttle crash, we bought the com- pany to help keep those working diligently for the betterment 3 I wanted to take the time and thank Mr. Solo for letting me listen to this quote from a good friend of mine. write one of these introductions, it seems that he and my dad go back a ways and there is some story about a Sabacc game “My father Stromgald Caballa used to say that if and an introduction to someone named Bib Fortuna that I’m you’re looking for a ship that turns on a credit, can not entirely privy to, but I digress.

I wanted to be a pilot and while I eventually became one, it took me running away from home and eking out an existence as a freighter pilot on the big Corellian ships before I could scratch together enough credits to buy a ship of my own. I spent two long years learning to fly the Corvettes and Bulk freighters; I cut my teeth of a CR-90 named ‘Corellia’s Pride’. They’re not easy ships to pilot and if anyone tells you that they are, then they’re a damn fool for saying it. Even though they are a class of warship, and despite the official information capsule telling you that they’re small, lightly armed and maneuverable, in reality Corvettes are no such thing. With large crew capacities ranging into the hun- dreds and the ability to move thousands of metric tons of cargo into their holds. These ships are big, bulky and have a backside like a Ronto racing through Mos Shuta looking to run someone over in the streets. But if you truly want to know about Corellian Corvettes or ships classified as such, and I’m sure that you do since you picked up this book, just 4 Action ii bulk freighter Craft: Corellian Action II Transport Type: Medium bulk freighter Era: Old Republic Affiliation: General Addendum Personal- General Han Solo See the Action VI for my comments… Source: Homemade-Stats contributed by Keith Kilburn Scale: Capital Length: 100 meters Skill: Space transports: Action IV transport Crew: 12 Crew Skill: Varies widely Cargo Capacity: 60,000 metric tons Consumables: 3 months Cost: 845,000 credits (new), 245,000 credits (used) Hyperdrive Multiplier: x5 Hyperdrive Backup: No Nav Computer: No (uses droid or starport computations) Space: 2 Atmosphere: 225; 650 kmh Hull: 2D Sensors: Passive: 15/0D Scan: 20/1D Search: 30/1D Focus: None Capsule: The Action II transport was an early Ac- tion series bulk transport that looked like a box with an engine and pods for the command and living areas. 5 pressures and climates with individual configurations.
