BFF-1 bulk freighters were freighters designed by Phylon Freight, and built under contract by Damorian Manufacturing Corporation.

[edit] Characteristics

This craft was a standard medium-sized freighter that was common throughout the entire galaxy. It was low-cost, partly due to its lack of defensive armament, effective and capable of extremely long range bulk transport duties.

The BFF-1 was designed to haul four Xizor Transport Systems Class-A Cargo Containers, attached in arrays of two on either side of the vessel's main hull, and modified into cheap yet capacious storage holds.

The cargo containers were slightly truncated, however, due to the freighter's length of 120 meters. Ordinarily, a pair of Class-A containers would be 150 meters in length.

[edit] History

BFF-1s could be found in almost every container depot, cargo station, customs checkpoint, or shipping port in every sector. Considered easy targets by raiders, they often traveled in convoys defended by more combat-worthy starships.

[edit] Behind the scenes

  • The BFFs in the first X-wing game were also used as hangars, bases, facilities, repair yards, 'platforms', repairers and haulers. Since the introduction of a richer roster of ships and polygon models in the sequels, these tasks were given to a variety of specialized ships, and BFFs have now a freighter-proper role.
  • Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II and its prequel Dark Forces are the only source other than the X-wing games to feature a BFF. In Dark Forces, a ship that at least resembles the BFF-Series, is featured in the levels "Ergo Station" and "Executor". Here, the player can even be on board the BFF-Series. In Dark Forces II, a ship that clearly is a BFF is seen from the distance near the end of the first level.
