Bulk freighter

Bulk freightersStar Wars: The Force Awakens: Incredible Cross-Sections also known as heavy freighters,Star Wars: Battles that Changed the Galaxy were generally very large, slow, and cumbersome space-faring freighters whose role was to move essential supplies throughout the galaxy every day. They were built in orbital shipyards and rarely entered the atmosphere of a planetary body. Instead they tended to unload or load their cargo via space stations and transfer yards. Most freighters of this type were owned and operated by corporations as they were generally very expensive and difficult to maintain. Exceptions like the Eravana—Han Solo and Chewbacca's Baleen-class heavy freighter—and the Yadeez—a carrier for the 204th Imperial Fighter Wing—did, however, exist. The Galactic Empire often used Class four container transports. A bulk freighter was attack by Silvo's pirates in the hope of plundering its vault for a large sum of credits. One heavy freighter was used to destroy a Resurgent-class Star Destroyer with the Holdo maneuver above the Forest Moon of Endor in 35 ABY.Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary states that the events of Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker occur thirty-five years after the Battle of Yavin. As Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the Battle of Yavin to 0 BBY, the events of The Rise of Skywalker, which includes the a heavy freighter's destruction in the Endor system, must occur in 35 ABY.
