[edit] Characteristics

YT-1250 schematics

The YT-1250 has 20% less cargo capacity than the stock YT-1200, but it made up for that by having stronger engines, heavy weapons and a basic set of shields. It wasn't as highly upgradable as most YT-series freighters, but it was still able to be modified to suit the user's needs.

[edit] Usage

Since the YT-1250 was upgraded and reinforced, it was marketed as suitable for light defense duties, cargo transporting in hazardous areas, and being used as an armed escort for freighter convoys.

[edit] History

The YT-1250 was an unusual model for CEC, since it wasn't a new design. With the release of the YT-1300, CEC found itself with a huge back stock of YT-1200s and YT-1210s. In an effort to sell these ships, they redesigned the older ships and sold them as a "new" design. Sales remained sluggish but CEC was finally able to sell the whole line off to various small systems and militant trade guilds.

Station TFP-9 on the planet Naboo had two such freighters for defense.
