DESCRIPTION
The CCM-220 series was the more successful light freighters of the CCM line. The earlier models on the CCM line were the result of a joint venture originally by the Corellia Mining Corporation and Corellia Engineering Corporation. They chose to deviate from the from the iconic disc design of the YT series but still can find many of these ships used today in the shipping lanes and around mining operations or in the wake of their excavation projects.The ship was well received for it's rear access hatch with docking tube. The large open central space has become popular with some people who prefer it over the halls and smaller compartments. This is usually filled with cargo and is especially helpful when moving large amounts of ore or abnormal cargo. Entire speeders as well as livestock are sometimes transported in this manner.
While primarily in use by mining corporations they work well as transports in any industry. A minimal crew of two is needed to fly the ship and operate it though a tractor beam technician and a medical specialist aid allow for all facilities to be used at effectively. A high resolution sensor suite allows the light freighter to aid in terms of terrestrial scanning and astronomical bodies though is not meant for combat use. Medium deflector shields allow the light freighter to take some hits. This, in conjunction with its two twin linked laser cannons is usually enough for most owners to be satisfied. However, there are some that apprciate the CCM-220 also has a relatively low maintenance cost.
There are some concerning flaws for some in the CCM-220's design. The open central compartment has raised concerns in the event that the ship were to lose pressure. The cockpit possesses the ability to detached and jettison itself as an escape pod. The class 15 backup hyperdrive as well as the navicomputer are housed here. But the ship, even its freight based design, has the ability to transport an additional four guests though there is not a separate escape pod for them. This has led to aftermarket escape pods, similar to the YT dart, except added to the aft of the ship. Others often went with simply adding a few additional class 1 escape pods on the ship to avoid the occasional fine from sector security.
LEGALITY
Legal. Light freighters such as the YT-1000 are considered innocuous enough under most jurisdictions, and are not restricted in most systems..INTENT
To add to the different styles of light freighters and have an 'open floor' style light freighter that can also be used as a setting for future threads.
