Freighter (Earth-2042)



"I am tracking a freighter closing in fast. Do not worry. We will draw them towards the fleet, and they will be blasted to bits."

- Two OOM pilot battle droids

A freighter, cargo ship, or barge, is a classification of spacecraft used for hauling cargo from one place to another. Although light freighters can usually hold their own in combat against other fighter craft, larger vessels, such as bulk freighter's tend to be less capable. These large freighters can be easy targets considering their large size, slow speed, and weak armament. For this reason most heavy freighters require escorts when navigating more dangerous regions of the galaxy. Many manufacturers converted freighters into warships during the Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War.
