Notes
The Crimson Star is a modified YV-545 freighter registered to the Outer Rim Trade Consortium. The YV line was designed as replacements for the aging YT series of freighters, but has never gained the universal popularity of the older series. YV freighter have long, tall, narrow bodies with command compartments located at the top, and a rear engine section with two large maneuvering fins. This design makes the YV series somewhat faster and more maneuverable than average ships of its size, as well as slightly sturdier.
The Crimson Star has been further modified to include a single pop down ion cannon turret, an extendable docking tube that can be used to attach to vessels in space, and laser cannon mounted forward. The docking tube was designed for used during rescue missions and to connect to small docking ports. A concussion missile tube mounted to the rear is designed to give the Star cover fire. A low powered shield generator was added later, although it is unlikely to survive more than a few weapon hits.
