Lambarian Crab

The Lambarian Crab was a heavily modified Corellian Engineering Corporation YT-2400 light freighter. A unique feature that it was fitted with a modified Starhawk Shuttle behind the cockpit instead of the escape pod normally located there, allowing the ship to remain in orbit of a planet whilst the crew travel to the planet's surface within the shuttle.
==History==
The ship, by then using a different name, was initially owned by a honest trader, Matas Havel, who travelled from the Colonies to the Outer Rim Territories. He invested profits in increasing the cargo capacity and the shields to deal with attacking pirates.
Circa 0 ABY, Havel retired and sold the ship to Finious Crab, who christened it Lambarian Crab. Wanting to smuggle in the Corellian System, Crab removed security and backup measures to make illegal space for speed- and stealth-increasing customizations. He also added three secret compartments, one in the cover of a hallway, another in a cargo pod and a third one in the cockpit deck escape pod socket.
Crab then made a name for himself in the Corellian system, dodging blockades and customs and enraging both the Galactic Empire and the Corellian Security Forces. However, during a run to Eriadu, the life support system failed to Crab's negligence in security matters; the pilot was frozen in hyperspace, although the ship reached Eriadu.
The Crab was then salvaged and sold to Wroonian gunrunners Fillio Androu and Linx Mallicker. They discovered and made good use of two of Crab's secret compartments, but the last one in the cockpit deck escape pod socket remained not found.
The Wroonians then used the ship to deal with illegal weapons through the Rimma Trade Route, travelling from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim Territories. They avoided Corellia because the ship was wanted there. Their customers were Imperial officers and cells of the Rebel Alliance.
The ship was later fitted with a small makeshift shuttle instead of the escape pod that was found behind the cockpit. Although modifying the ship extensively the Wroonians still never located the third remaining secret compartment.
On a smuggling run that ended with a drop off point at Selonia, CorSec officials finally caught up with the freighter and its crew, and captured the smugglers. Arrested and sent to the Kessel Mines, the ship was to be scraped until Corran Horn changed the ships status and sent it instead to S.S.I's Chanmea Shipyards where Gern Stargazer and Tekk Larr oversaw the restoration of the ship.
When Rhyley Stargazer, Kileo Dimoh, Kaje Reilloc and Weekat Matiren were passing through the shipyards, Gern having heard from his grandson that Kaje had lost a ship, offered the refurbished vessel to the enigmatic Rebel at a knock down price. Kaje purchased the vessel and after a full system, transponder and registration wipe, used it to return to Talus.
