CharacteristicsEdit

The Superfreighter was an elongated, white-hulled vessel boasting powerful deflector shields and a reinforced hull. It was armed with two laser cannon turrets, and usually escorted by Scarab starfighters.^[1]

HistoryEdit

The pirate captain Nym engaged several Superfreighters during his attacks against Trade Federation forces in the Karthakk system prior to the Invasion of Naboo. His pirate crew disabled a Superfreighter above Lok, then looted its cargo after the vessel crash-landed on the planet's surface. Later, Vana Sage led an assault against a freighter convoy over Naboo, during which Reti infiltrated a Superfreighter and reprogrammed its complement of Scarab fighters to assist Vana's pilots. This aided greatly in breaking the blockade, allowing Vana and her team to continue their mission planetside.^[1]

The Federation continued to use the Superfreighters in its trading fleet up to and including the Clone Wars. A number of Superfreighters were involved in the project to produce Trihexalon on the planet Nod Kartha by the mercenary Sabaoth Squadron.^[2]
