The Sith freighter was a light freighter created by the Star Forge for use in the Jedi Civil War.
[edit] History
In the service of the Sith Empire, these freighters were one of the most commonly seen in the war effort, along with the Republic military droid carrier. They were used to ship equipment to and from planets, including the precious kolto of Manaan.
The craft were lightly armed with two turbolasers. They might also have stood in as bombing craft or gunships.
[edit] Behind the scenes
The Sith freighter is one of many vessels from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic that have yet to receive a canonical name.
The Sith freighter's close resemblance to the Republic military droid carrier clearly suggests that this vessel was one of many classes converted by the Star Forge; changing its appearance somewhat.
In the sequel to Knights of the Old Republic, a similar (recently shot-down) ship is seen on Dxun, however this ship has a different cockpit to the Sith freighter, possibly meaning that like the Republic military droid carrier, variants were used outside the Sith (The crashed transport on Dxun belongs to Duros bounty hunters).
