Corell Pride

The Corell Pride was a modified YT-2000 light freighter used by the Corellians Corran Horn, Jonset, Raedan Kitani, Tekk Larr, Rhyley Stargazer and An-Taei Wynonyms. Produced by Corellian Engineering Corporation, Rhyley and Jonset purchased the ship in mid 9 ABY after Kileo Dimoh's fall to the Dark Side and the destruction of Raedan Kitani's YT-2400 Freighter. The ship though purchased by the two men was intended for use by any of their 'brothers' depending on whoever needed it at the time. The ship was once known as Asard's Pride before it was renamed Corell Pride after the fact that all of the men that now owned the vessel were Corellian.
==Characteristics of the YT-2000 Light Freighter==
The YT-2000 combined the YT-1300's successful saucer-like design with the YT-1930's symmetrical theme, including the centralized cockpit placement. The standard cockpit design of the YT-2000 deviated from the pilot and co-pilot sitting side by side, as in previous models. Instead, the pilot sat in front while the co-pilot was situated behind and raised above the pilot, with no room for any other people in the cockpit. 
Due to the turbulent times in which the ship was designed and produced, the YT-2000 boasted heavier standard shields and weapons (two dual laser turrets) than most civilian freighters, certainly than any of its predecessors. The heavy armament and shields, coupled with its speed and manoeuvrability, caused many Imperial officials to view the YT-2000 being marketed as a "civilian" ship with suspicion. 
Rumors abounded that the YT-2000 was originally intended to be the "next generation" model of transports for Corellian Engineering Corporation; however, extensive industrial espionage leaked the early design specifications to competing shipyards. This forced CEC to put the YT-2000 into production before all of its potential drawbacks had been worked out. This resulted in this ship being touchier than previous models. However, its extensive cargo capacity, good defenses, and amazing maneuverability for a ship its size, coupled with plenty of space and power to make custom modifications, earned a place as one of the more popular YT models among its owners.
The YT-2000 had a limited production run, though not due to low sales. The line was discontinued early so CEC could push their new YT-2400 line, which had not been compromised by industrial espionage.

This Ship is used within a RESOLUTION Plots and is so part of the RSNverse of Star Wars lore.
