[edit] Characteristics
The biggest advantage of this ship was the passengers' comfort. Personal refresher stations, independent climate control for each quarters, and fold-out bunks made it a very comfortable ship for long journeys.
Two escape pods capable of each seating five people are equipped on the XS-800. Also, the cockpit was designed to separate from the ship and land on a planet when there was no other way to rescue passengers and crew. Safety was also guaranteed by its double laser cannon.
It was capable of transporting 115 tons of cargo.
[edit] History
It was a very successful craft, but not as popular as other Corellian Engineering Corporation ships, like the CR90 corvette.
This ship resembled the scout craft Luke Skywalker used to look for locations for a new Rebel base after the Battle of Yavin, and which he later crashed onto the water-world Drexel II.
