Capsule: The Class VI bulk freighter was a type of cargo hauler built by Corellian Engineering Corporation, considered antiquated by the time of the Galactic Civil War. It was developed from the earlier Praetorian-class frigate. The Class VI was 180 meters in length and had a cargo capacity of 2,000 metric tons and a Class 3 Hyperdrive. In standard operation, it could carry a crew of four, with provision for two passengers and supplies for six months, but at a minimum, it could operate with just a pilot and navigator. Slow and very sluggish at sublight speeds, a standard Class VI lacked a backup hyperdrive, and was armed with a single turret-mounted laser cannon. The Class VI was built on the same hull-form as the Praetorian-class frigate, a warship in the Republic fleet which served at least as early as the Battle of Koros Major during the Great Sith War. Thousands of years later, a ship of the same class was launched in around 70 BBY, called the Hearst, and was used as the headquarters of the independent newsfeed Freedom Galactic News. The Rebel Alliance Fleet also had at least one such vessel in its forces.
