Bulk Freighters are a common sight throughout the galaxy. They are cheap and cost-effective capable of carrying large amounts of cargo. However, they are unarmed, slow, and therefore extremely vulnerable to enemy attack. Escort ships will often be needed to protect these freighters. Some freighter captains have taken it apon themselves to upgrade their modest hyperspace and sublight engine performance. Bulk Freighters are tough and reliable. Though they generally lack luxury and a lot of state-of-the-art equipment, they have served their purpose well and will probably continue to do so for the future ahead. The standard carry all for Bulk Freighters is either the Extent Systems CXC-5 Container Type A or the Xizor Transport Systems Class-A Cargo Container.
NARTISSTEU
The Nartissteu was the freighter Grand Admiral Thrawn used for the cloaking device he found on Mount Tantiss. Activating it so that the TIE Fighters and mole miners concealed inside did not pick up on sensors, Thrawn sent it into the Sluis Van shipyards where it abruptly exploded and unleashed the force waiting inside.
