Gozanti Cruiser The Gozanti Cruiser , also known as the Gozanti " - class armed transport or Gozanti " - class cruiser was a slow but powerful independent transport designed by Corellian Engineering Corporation . Characteristics . Powerful and reliable , the Gozanti was described as a flying fortress , being built for durability and firepower over cargo capacity and speed . Designed by the Corellian Engineering Corporation , few were actually built by CEC ; instead , the design was leased to numerous other companies for construction , notably Gallofree Yards , Inc . Because of this , the same basic design was produced under different names , including the nickname given to early drafts : " Brocklander " ships . First produced during the Old Republic , the ship was made intentionally slow to prove to Republic Inspectors that the ship couldn ' t be used as a pirate vessel . And , though the ship was used by many independent organizations , including Hutts and a number of crime lords , it was never used in a direct act of piracy . With difficulty , better performance could be coaxed out of the vessel , as many were refurbished into capable warships by the resource strapped Rebellion during the Galactic Civil War - with Rebellion engineers bringing many up to a level that allowed them to operate with respectable effectiveness in modern combat . Ultimately , the Rebellion deployed Gozantis as escort vessels , in line with their original design , and as capital ships in times of desperate need . Well - armored , these vessels were notoriously difficult to board , much to the consternation of many a space pirate , and were equipped with unusually heavy armor and hull bracing . Armed with heavy retractable weaponry including four laser cannons , two quad laser cannon turrets and a proton torpedo launcher , the Gozanti was more than a match for casual pirates using second rate tech and retrofitted transport s . Primarily used by merchants , militaries and mercenaries throughout the galaxy to defend cargo vessels from piracy , a few were used as diplomatic vessels , and were popular choices for mobile command centers . When a Gozanti did fall into the hands of a criminal , they were inevitably turned into prison ships and or highly secure personal transports on account of their speed . The cruisers could carry twelve passengers and the crew consisted of a pilot , co - pilot , communications / sensor operator , two loadmasters , and six gunners . History . First produced during the Old Republic , the design fell out of favor with shipyards during the reign of the Galactic Empire , though , soon after the fall of the Emperor , the demand for heavily armed and armored civilian ships surged , and the Gozanti once more was rushed back into production to enjoy new popularity . The " Krayt ' s Honor " was a well - known Gozanti Cruiser noted for its use by freelancers protecting various merchants who were otherwise harassed by the Trade Federation . Years prior to the advent of the Clone Wars , it could be seen in the space port of Mos Espa on Tatooine . During the Clone Wars , the Confederacy of Independent Systems militarized Gozanti cruisers and used them as support ships . These vessels were painted in Separatist colors . Several ships served in the fleet of the super tactical droid Aut - O . The Black Sun criminal syndicate modified Gozantis and used them as frigates . After the takeover of Mandalore by the Shadow Collective , both Separatist and Black Sun Gozantis were seen using the city of Sundari as a stopover point . Behind the scenes . " Star Wars Insider 63 " incorrectly identifies the Gozanti Cruiser and the Taylander shuttle as " Brocklander ships " . " Star Wars Insider 65 " corrects the mistake , stating that " Brocklander " was only a nickname used during production .
