The VCX-700 heavy courier was a 26-meter-long armed courier produced by Corellian Engineering Corporation. Like the rest of the VCX series, the VCX-700 was equipped as standard with near-military grade engines, shields, and weapons.
Unlike the earlier VCX-350 light freighter, the VCX-700 sacrificed cargo capacity for armament, and was equipped with a dual laser cannon turret, four ion cannons, an autoblaster, and four concussion missile launchers. It could only carry 5 tons of cargo, but its strong armament and heavy armor plating made it well-suited to protecting VIP passengers. The VCX-700's hull configuration superficially resembled the Trade Federation's Armored Assault Tank, with engines mounted above and behind a hemispherical main hull.
