"It's a simple, low-threat freighter. A modified Mon Cal DeepWater class. Decent armor, decent shields, nothing special."
―Imperial Captain Calo Drusan[2]

The DeepWater-class light freighter was a Mon Calamari Shipyards transport design.

Characteristics

Like all Mon Calamari designs, each DeepWater freighter was slightly different. The DeepWater-class freighter measured 45 meters in length and could transport up to six passengers and 85 metric tons of cargo. It was armed with a dual laser cannon in its stock configuration.

As was typical of Mon Calamari design philosophy, the DeepWater-class had a sturdy hull, strong shields, and a backup shield generator. For space travel, it was also equipped with a hyperdrive generator. Being designed on a water world, it was also capable of operating as a submarine. When underwater, propulsion was supplied by a Magnetohydrodynamic engine.[1]

In addition, each Deepwater-class had a variety of landing gear that could be deployed as required: a landing claw to stabilize the ship when docking with an another vessel or an asteroid, standard landing gear, and inflatable puncture-proof pontoons for landing on water.[1]

History

The DeepWater-class predated the standard Mon Calamari light freighters and was one of the first commercially-available Mon Calamari designs. It was designed for a planetary trading company called the Mon Calamari Commercial Expeditionary Service which was abruptly shut down by the Empire. The approximately 10,000 ships produced were then sold at auction.[1]

Kal Skirata purchased one for 80,000 credits in 21 BBY, which he named Aay'han. Skirata used this freighter to rescue a Mandalorian named Walon Vau, on the ice-planet Mygeeto. It was also used to search for rogue Kaminoan scientist, Ko Sai.

In 0 ABY, Senior Captain in the Imperial Navy Mitth'raw'nuruodo and his companion Jorj Car'das flew one of these freighters, named the Lost Reef, on their successful mission to stop alien warlord Nuso Esva in his scheme to conquer the Candoras sector.
