Developed from the earlier Praetorian-class Frigate, the Class VI Freighter is a type of cargo hauler first built by the Corellian Engineering Corporation around 5,000 BBY. It has remained an impressive mainstay of CEC's roster and was still being produced by 70 BBY. It is rightly considered to be antiquated by the time of the Galactic Civil War but nonetheless remains a popular craft due to its affordability and ease of customization.
