The HWK-290 was a light freighter manufactured by the Corellian Engineering Corporation in an effort to break into a new market for fast, small cargo ships. The production lasted from the decades leading up to the Battle of Naboo until being discontinued during the Clone Wars.
Characteristics
The Moldy Crow
Measuring twenty-nine meters in length, the HWK-290 resembled the head of a large raptor, and required a pilot and co-pilot to operate. The freighter could accommodate up to six passengers and 150 tons of cargo. The ships were produced without armament; they used speed and maneuverability to escape most situations.
History
It was mainly used for delivering small but critical shipment between asteroid mines and orbital stations.[6]
The most famous of the series was the Moldy Crow, a heavily modified HWK-290 freighter used by Jan Ors and Kyle Katarn, the specific unit of which was manufactured in 9 BBY.[1]
