DESCRIPTION
The YT-2500 was, at the time, a brand new 35 meter long stripped down semi-saucer shaped craft. It boasts two dual medium laser cannons, one ventral and one dorsal, and a light deflector screen for defense. It was designed to be faster than other YT-series craft, to be able to potentially outrun larger craft that it could not fight. It was meant to be another revolution in the YT series, to make a light and fast freighter right off the sales floor.The reception to the YT-2500 initially was very reminiscent of the YT-2000, which to say was not very good. Operators quickly figured out the ship had many flaws: the sensors shorted out often, the engines had the tendency to stall if pushed too hard, over all the craft tended to give off a loud rattle at full speed and felt awkward and jerky. All of the speed in the world or luxuries did not make up for these massive flaws, and so the line was quickly and quietly canceled. Many of these craft never left CEC dockyards, and so eventually they were heavily modified and resold to a much more successful line.
The YT-2500 was never a popular craft, and even when it was brand new few ever shipped. Now in the galaxy there are very few of these ships still flying, with most that were purchased either retrofitted into the upgraded version CEC offered or scrapped. The ones that still remain in the galaxy are either in the hands of private collectors or are heavily modified.
LEGALITY
Legal. Light freighters such as the YT-2500 are considered innocuous enough under most jurisdictions, and are not restricted in most systems.INTENT
To introduce a faster light freighter and to add a new instillation in the YT line.
