YT series
Encyclopedia : Y : YT : YTS : YT series
The YT series is a series of freighter/transport ships in the fictional Star Wars universe, developed by Corellian Engineering Corporation. It is somewhat difficult to dig up information about them, however, it seems that they would all be similar in purpose or at least design.
YT-1000
The YT-1000 light freighter was a light freighter produced by Corellian Engineering Corporation. It bore distinct similarities to its successor, the YT-1300. It was a smaller vessel, and featured a top-mounted cockpit. As with the later variants of the YT-series, the YT-1000 was favoured by smugglers, who enjoyed the freedom to tinker with the vessel and add many modifications, such as weapons.YT-1210
The YT-1210 is the immediate predecessor of the YT-1300. It is very similar in overall configuration to the YT-1300, but lacks the distinctive cargo-loading "mandibles" at the front of its hull. By the time of [[Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope|A New Hope]], the YT-1210 is considered hopelessly obsolete, but a few examples are still in use by minor smugglers and Outer Rim shipping companies.YT-1300
The YT-1300 is the model of the famous Millennium Falcon starship of Han Solo. It is highly popular among smugglers for its speed and ease of modification. Though outdated by the time of [[Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope|A New Hope]], the YT-1300 is still a fairly common sight on the galactic shipping lanes. However, it is virtually unheard of to find an unmodified example.YT-2000
The YT-2000 is a type of starship in the Star Wars Expanded Universe.
Created for the game X-Wing Alliance, the inspiration for the model seems to have come from the YT-1300 and the YT-2400 (which share similar fuselage and cockpit designs), both also manufactured by CEC. The YT-1930 is the only other ship in the YT series with a symmetrical design.
The Otana is a YT-2000-model transport owned by the Azzameen family in the computer game X-Wing Alliance.
YT-2400
The YT-2400 Corellian Transport is a type of starship in the Star Wars Expanded Universe.Manufacturer
The ship is manufactured by Corellian Engineering Corporation (located in the Corellia system), which is one of the largest and oldest starship manufacturers. The company primarily produces civilian vessels, although it occasionally builds specialized warships for markets not given attention by Kuat Drive Yards and similar corporations. Its ships (civilian or otherwise) range in size from a few meters to several kilometers, depending on the application. Nonetheless, CEC is best known for its moderately-armed, easily-modified freighters.Ship Specifications

The YT-2400, unlike the YT-1300, came equipped as standard with shielding. The ship also had many hardpoints for aftermarket weaponry, and sold lightly armed straight off the assembly line. The YT-2400 also came with 2 escape pods, one accessed straight from the cockpit and a second one in the main saucer. Dispte its more compact size, the YT-2400 has a larger cargo hold than the older YT-1300.
The best-known example of a YT-2400 was Dash Rendar's Outrider which featured prominently in the Shadows of the Empire multimedia project.
