[edit] Characteristics
They shared similar designs with the larger Lucrehulk-class LH-3010 and Lucrehulk-class LH-3210 freighters also used by the Federation, and were at least several hundred meters long.[1]
The Trade Federation freighter had large hangars located at the center of its superstructure, where fighter squadrons could launch into battle in wartime. It was propelled by three large thrusters.[1]
[edit] History
During the bacta drought leading to the Stark Hyperspace War, bacta ships of this type were attacked by warships utilized by the Stark Commercial Combine. As a result of these attacks, the Trade Federation demanded the right to build up its military forces or stop trade altogether.[1]
During the Stark Hyperspace War, freighters of this kind were used to transport Judicial and Jedi forces (including Red and Blue Squadrons) to the Fifth Battle of Qotile.[1]
