Need a hero ship for a new campaign

By Kaytarn, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

Alright folks, I need a favor. I'm running a game set 2000 years before Yavin, and have need for a ship that will carry 5-6 comfortably. Needs to look Star Wars-y, without being instantly recognizable as a movie era vessel and hopefully have a interior layout as well.

My plan is basically to find one who's outside looks and interior layout I can stand, that has space for the characters to eat, sleep, shower and preform necessary bodily functions, and slap the stat block for the yt-1600 on it. Anyone have any ships they can recommend?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

They're about 2000 years too early for your specific time frame, but you could look at some of the player ships from Star Wars: The Old Republic. The XS Stock Light Freighter or the BT-7 Thunderclap might fit your needs.

Dynamic-class freighter (i.e. the Ebon Hawk) is even earlier, but would be a good fit for a party of 5-6 sentients. All of the SW:TOR player ships are really big, more like mini-cap ships than a PC runabout.

Otherwise, there doesn't seem to be a lot of extant information about that era, at least in terms of nuts & bolts. We know that CEC existed and was making ships, but the info on their products run from the KotOR era into to the TOR era, and picks up with the YG-series a couple of centuries BBY.

I'll second the Dynamic Class Freighter! My Players are currently using one & whilst she's old & has her issues but they love her!

Ruakar has also started to do am awesome deckplan for it on his thread "Ships, Maps, Weapons" (currently on page 3 of this forum)

Try the Barloz Class freighter as well. It was an old design, and I know there are deckplans around.

I'm partial to the Defender class light corvette.

Check out the various Ships here. It includes writ-ups for a number of ships from that era that should work perfectly for your needs, including the afore-mentioned Dynamic class freighter as well as the Delaya class courier (MasterArca Jeth's ship) and the Crescent class Courier (Ulic and Cay Qel Droma's ship).

Awesome, thanks. Still really toying with the idea of a Dynamic class freighter for the crew (possibly the ebon hawke for reals).

The Ebon Hawk is actually fully statted in that blog.

Yes, I saw, thank you. Going to be going with a baseline "restored" model that they find out through play is/was the Ebon Hawk, and provide easter eggs and hints based on the KotOR games. as we're all that kind of geeks in this group.
