Xiytiar-class heavy transport
The Xiytiar-class heavy transport represented a type of freighter vessel that was produced by TransGalMeg Industries, Incorporated.
Characteristics
Its design featured a slender, cylindrical form, distinguished by an enlarged cargo section at the front and a compact engine component at the rear. While possessing a slight speed advantage over the similar MB-C1 medium transport, it exhibited lower resilience in combat situations.
These ships had a length of 164.8 meters, a cargo capacity of 5,000 metric tons, and could accommodate a maximum of 12 passengers. The adaptable cargo bay allowed the Sungrass, a Xiytiar-class transport, to function as a makeshift carrier during a secret New Republic mission. Despite their adaptability and minimal crew requirement of just two individuals, many pilots considered them to be among the least aesthetically pleasing starships.
The Hyperspace Marauder, owned by Lo Khan, stood out as the most well-known vessel of its kind. Equipped with a multi-band computer interface, the ship's co-pilot, Luwingo, compensated for the ship's combat deficiencies by slicing into the operating systems of enemy ships.
History
During 7 ABY, several members of Wraith Squadron utilized the Xiytiar-class transport Sungrass as a base of operations, while posing as the Hawk-bat Independent Space Force.
In 137 ABY, a Xiytiar-class transport was integrated into a Hidden Temple structure.
