Dynamic - class freighter The " Dynamic " - class freighter was a light freighter built by a subsidiary of Core Galaxy Systems on the remote Republic world of Transel around the period of the Mandalorian Wars . A stock " Dynamic " - class freighter was only modestly armed and shielded ; however , the ship was designed to accept modifications without compromising existing systems and most ships were therefore heavily customized by their owners . Though prized for its ability to be modified with ease — a trait advertised by the class ' s name — " Dynamic " - class starships were rare throughout the galaxy as only one ship was produced at a time . " Dynamic " - class freighters had relatively less area onboard to hold cargo than other light freighters but possessed ample space for passengers , allowing the class to operate as a transport . Some of the class ' s distinct elements such as the cockpit and saucer - shaped hull designs , would appear in later craft ; starshipwright Corellian Engineering Corporation drew inspiration from the freighter when designing some of their own ships , including the YT - series freighters released several millennia after the " Dynamic " - class starship began production . One of the most notable " Dynamic " - class freighters , the " Ebon Hawk " , played a key role in both the Jedi Civil War and later Dark Wars . The ship , so heavily modified that it was difficult to ascertain the ship ' s builder or origins , was originally owned by various members of the Exchange and Tarisian crime lord Davik Kang before Revan , an amnesic Republic soldier and unknowingly the former Dark Lord of the Sith , stole the ship to escape the Sith fleet ' s bombardment of Taris during the Jedi Civil War . Shortly thereafter , Revan — as a Jedi Knight and aware of his former position — used the " Ebon Hawk " in his quest to locate the Sith superweapon known as the Star Forge , and later on a journey through the galaxy ' s Unknown Regions before his capture . The " Ebon Hawk " would eventually resurface under the command of Jedi exile Meetra Surik , who used it on her quest to locate several Jedi Masters in hiding after the First Jedi Purge and , later , the elimination of the Sith Triumvirate . Surik would take the ship back into the Unknown Regions to locate the captured Revan , but her death and Revan ' s continued imprisonment left the " Ebon Hawk " stranded with no owner . Characteristics . Designed and produced some time before 3963 BBY one at a time on the planet Transel , the " Dynamic " - class freighter cost 80 , 000 credits for a new starship , while used ships sold for 30 , 000 credits . The light freighter was designed and built with modification in mind ; as a stock " Dynamic " - class ship possessed only modest weaponry and shielding , most buyers often took advantage of this adaptive engineering to customize their freighters with more powerful systems . Though not recognized for their speed or toughness , " Dynamic " - class freighters were regarded as sturdy builds ; coupled with the ease of modification , the ship was prized amongst smugglers and traders alike . A class 3 hyperdrive and navigation computer allowed the vessel to move through hyperspace to destinations throughout the galaxy . Landing gear allowed the freighter to berth planetside and aboard larger vessels and space stations . The ship could be crewed by two pilots and supported six passengers , allowing it to comfortable function as a transport . An onboard medical bay , located near the central main hold , could provide limited triage options for injured beings . In case of emergency , such as a hull breach , every room aboard the ship was equipped with airlocks which could seal shut , containing the compromised sections and retaining the atmosphere in unaffected areas . The ship carried two standard months worth of consumables , allowing the crew to make extended trips . Three prongs formed a trident - shaped hull fore of the freighter ' s midpoint , with the central protrusion extending the farthest . The prongs were asymmetrical ; a hull section , containing a landing ramp , was located between the central and starboard prongs . The boxy central section of the ship , with a viewport located at its fore , held the ship ' s cockpit and communications station . These two rooms were connected via a long hallway to the ship ' s main hold , located at the ship ' s center . The flanking port and starboard prongs were mirrored images of each other and contained crew bunks and amenities . A lateral break in the ship ' s hull plating marked the freighter ' s midpoint . For armament , a pair of large laser cannons were mounted port and starboard , and dorsal and ventral turrets could be installed just behind the central prong . A ladder , located just behind the main hold , allowed access to these turrets . The freighter ' s hull aft of midpoint formed a half - saucer with the fore of the ship . This distinctive design allowed the ship to fit the same area for cargo and systems as a larger , more angular hull ; other shipbuilders would later mimic this design even millennia later . Two cargo areas , flanking the engine room in the central aft of the ship , could store 60 tons of cargo . The starboard cargo area was large enough to function as a garage , with ample space to store a swoop bike and workstation , and connected directly to the landing ramp . Two large , circular engines were mounted to the very back of the ship and provided the thrust necessary for the ship to move through realspace at 800 km / h . " Dynamic " - class freighters often had a predominately grey hull with reddish - orange accents adorning the ship ' s fore prongs , engine cowlings , and a radial band on the aft saucer section of the hull . History . Sometime before 3963 BBY , starshipwright Core Galaxy Systems purchased an independent company with a single manufacturing plant on the remote Republic Colonies world of Transel in the Transel system in a wave of expansion . Following a corporate reorganization , the Transel - based subsidiary was granted ongoing funding but a lack of oversight which allowed the continued production of a single " Dynamic " - class freighter at a time . The company relied on the tendency for starship owners to modify their vessels when they designing the " Dynamic " - class freighter and built their ship to easily adapt to any customization . Even the line ' s name was chosen to reflect this philosophy . As a result , most freighters in operation were heavily modified . The class was utilized in a number of scenarios during Mandalorian Wars , the galaxy - spanning series of conflicts between Mandalorian warriors and the Galactic Republic . A " Dynamic " - class starship was part of the Republic fleet over the Ralltiir system in 3963 BBY ; the freighter also appeared above Taris during the Mandalorian invasion of Taris . Shortly after , around 3951 BBY , a crash - landed " Dynamic " - class freighter located within the hidden base of smuggling group Wavelength Gale on the planet Volik was the rumored resting spot of the mask of Sith Lord Darth Nihilus . The " Ebon Hawk " . Perhaps the most notorious starship of the class was the heavily modified " Ebon Hawk " , owned by a number of notorious criminal groups , including the Exchange , and engineered to perform well beyond its stock specifications . The " Ebon Hawk " played a pivotal role during the Jedi Civil War fought between Republic and Sith forces in 3956 BBY when Revan , an amnesiac Republic soldier who was also unknowningly the former Dark Lord of the Sith and commander of the Sith , stole the heavily - modified freighter from Tarisian crime lord Davik Kang and used it to escape the bombardment of Taris by the Sith fleet at the command of Revan ' s former student , Darth Malak . Revan continued to use the ship in his campaign to locate the Star Forge , an ancient superweapon and factory used by the Sith . After the station ' s destruction and death of Malak , Revan continued to use the ship while exploring the Unknown Regions until his capture , at which point his utility droid T3 - M4 took command . The " Ebon Hawk " later returned to known space in 3951 BBY during the Dark Wars , which saw the destruction of the Jedi Order and the resurgence of Sith forces , where the ship came under attack and was critically disabled . Once repaired , the " Ebon Hawk " again played a role against the Sith after Jedi exile Meetra Surik acquired and used the freighter while locating a number of Jedi Masters in hiding after the First Jedi Purge . During Surik ' s travels , Onderonian general Vaklu falsely portrayed the " Ebon Hawk " — which had been involved in a small - scale conflict with Onderanian forces — to be a capital ship in order to spark civil war on his home planet . Surik ' s efforts eventually culminated with the elimination of the Sith Triumvirate and the destruction of fractured planet Malachor V , though her " Dynamic " - class freighter was heavily damaged during landing . Still , the ship managed to escape the planet ' s destruction and Surik used the ship to return to the Unknown Regions in an effort to find Revan , though she lost her own life in her search . Her death , Revan ' s continued imprisonment , and T3 - M4 ' s destruction left the " Ebon Hawk " stranded with no owner . Legacy . Certain design elements of the " Dynamic " - class freighter persisted throughout galactic history . Sometime during the Great Galactic War fought between the Galactic Republic and Sith Empire , shipbuilder Corellian Engineering Corporation borrowed certain " Dynamic " - class traits , including the half - saucer and cockpit , to produce the XS stock light freighter . CEC even compared the " Dynamic " - class freighter to their new ship , showcasing their advancements in freighter design . Millennia later , Corellian Engineering Corporation again drew on features from the " Dynamic " - class freighter via their own ancient XS stock ships when designing a new line of freighters . The inspiration provided by the ancient ships eventually led to the creation of the YT - series , CEC ' s most popular line of freighters bearing some of their most recognizable starships , including the YT - 1300 light freighter . Behind the scenes . The " Dynamic " - class freighter first appeared in the video game " " , released in 2003 , as the " Ebon Hawk " . Supplemental material to the game , including the ship ' s Databank entry on StarWars . com , hinted that the origins of the ship were a mystery thanks to its extensive modification . The class would appear in various other material , including the 2004 video game to " Star Wars : Knights of the Old Republic " , but wouldn ' t receive a name until the Star Wars Roleplaying Game sourcebook " Starships of the Galaxy " published in 2007 . In the " Dynamic " - class freighter ' s most featured role as the " Ebon Hawk " in the " Knights of the Old Republic " series , the ship was used in - game as a " hub " , allowing players to travel from world to world and use onboard systems to upgrade equipment . BioWare , the game ' s designers , intended to evoke the feeling of the " Millennium Falcon " , Han Solo ' s YT - 1300 freighter prominently featured in the original trilogy of the Star Wars Saga , in both role and functionality . As a result , the " Dynamic " - class freighter shares several similarities to the YT - 1300 light freighter , including the turrets , raised tubular hull sections , and dish - like shape . As many of the systems of the " Ebon Hawk " were so heavily modified that it was hard determine even its manufacturer or place of origin , some , if not all , of the individual ship ' s specifications and abilities may have differed from the stock class , though the figures and features shown in " Starships of the Galaxy " , including deckplans , are specifically designated as belonging to a stock " Dynamic " - class freighter .
