The CT-900 was designed to allow for the ultimate in customization, both from a practical and marketing standpoint. The base cockpit module was inexpensive, and featured a modest cargo capacity. However, to be truly effective, purchase of one or more of the additional, “optional” modules was all but necessary. This meant that, at the end of the day, a CT-900’s final cost was comparable with other, similar standardized ships.

A unique feature of the CT-900’s modular nature was that, while there were “suggested configurations” for use of the modules, the ship could ultimately be reconfigured into different forms by creative application of the modules. The broad nature of this customization meant that the CT-900 could be made to suit most tasks, from straight cargo hauling, to deep space salvage. But, it also had the effect of never quite being ideal for a particular purpose. The CT-900 lasted a comparatively short time on the market before being discontinued. While some can still be found in operation, by the time of the Galactic Civil War, it was already considered n antique ship that had not been seen since the Clone Wars.

One known CT-900 freighter was the StarScavenger, the starship and transport of the Freemakers, a family of scavengers who lived during the Galactic Civil War. Zander Freemaker managed to keep the StarScavenger operational by modifying the ship with spare parts.

CUSTOM ATTACHMENT

Hyperdrive Class 4 Module for CT-900: Installing a hyperdrive, even a relatively low-grade one, in a CT-900 takes up a good deal of space inside of the craft, but also allows it to operate ndependently. For many owners, such an upgrade is well worth the cost.

CUSTOM ATTACHMENT

Sublight Boost Thrusters for CT-900: The craft’s engines can be equipped with sublight boosters, which considerably increase their output. Flying at higher speeds also makes the vehicle harder to handle in rough conditions such as asteroid fields, but when outrunning a patrol boat or pirate vessel, it can be the difference between life and death.
Base Modifiers: Increase speed by 1 Mod; decrease handling by 1 Mod
Modification Options: 1 Increase speed by 1 Mod
Hard Points Required: 2
Price/Rarity: 9,000/7

CUSTOM ATTACHMENT

Wing Module for CT-900: The CT-900 wing module makes the bulky ship somewhat more aerodynamic in atmosphere, and also features microthrusters built into the frame. Together, these factors make the CT-900 more maneuverable in vacuum or atmosphere.
