VCX-100 light freighter

OnACanonArticle

"What do you fly?"
"VCX-100."
"That is a quality ship."
―Lando Calrissian and Han Solo[13]

The VCX-100 light freighter was one of the Corellian Engineering Corporation's freighter designs. A notable example of this model was the Ghost, a modified VCX-100 owned by Hera Syndulla.

The VCX-100 was outfitted with sleeping quarters, a galley, and a common room. Its armament comprised a dorsal turret and a forward-mounted chin turret, the latter being controlled by a gunner in its seat or from the cockpit. The cargo bay and main entrance ramp of the VCX-100 were mostly located in the front of the freighter, below the forward-turret. VCX-100s also had a slot in between its main engines, into which a VCX-series auxiliary starfighter could dock. The VCX-100 was also outfitted with a magnetic cargo clamp on its ventral plating, capable of holding several bulk containers.[1]

History

"Sir, comscan has identified the Corellian VCX as the supply transport."
―An Imperial officer to ISB Agent Alexsandr Kallus, during the blockade of Ibaar[14]

In 10 BBY,[15] before Han Solo owned the Millennium Falcon, Solo played a game of Sabacc against Lando Calrissian to try to win the latter's starship. Solo bluffed that he owned a VCX-100 to use as collateral in order to get Calrissian's attention.[13]

In 5 BBY, a VCX-100 light freighter was docked at a ship yard on Ferrix.[16]

The Ghost was a notable VCX-100, piloted by Hera Syndulla.[17] In 1 BBY,[15] the Ghost participated in the Battle of Scarif[18] and the Battle of Endor[19] in 4 ABY.[15]

In 35 ABY,[15] at least three VCX-100 light freighters including the Ghost were part of a fleet assembled by Lando Calrissian to assist the Resistance during the battle against the Sith Eternal forces over the planet Exegol.[20]
