Charles, thanks buddy and I agree it fits in with Jabbas style of vehicles. I can see this beauty burning up the deserts of Tatooine for sure.
Now back to the previous vehicle, I have some shots of her undercarage that I promised Tom. You can see the decals that were on the ship when he bought it.
Thanks to everyone for the ideas on names for this vehicle. I have decided to combine 2 ideas that fit the vehicle and ideas I had already. Thanks to Finn and Wookielover1138 their suggestions work well together.
The Corellian Sunset, a Corellian Engineering Corporation G2 class personal exploration/scout ship. This ship, sold as an upgrade with the G9 Rigger freighter series, was to be used a combination runabout and to explore/scout new worlds when docking space was limited or when it was not prudent to land the main ship with a full cargo.
Most examples were not armed even though many Corellian’s did so as a safety feature to help ward off pirates and other privateers. It could carry 3 beings, pilot, communications/navigator, and passenger in the middle. Most armed versions that were armed retro fitted the fire controls to the rear-facing seat and moved the communications suite to the middle passenger area.
The G2 series had an Astromech slot built in to help aid in navigation and also to enable the crew to survey systems for possible valuable minerals and ore deposits.
Over all the craft were very stable and handled more like a fighter then a runabout due to CEC’s habit of adding in oversized engines and control surfaces.
Although they were not shielded they were very hardy and resilient craft due to the extremely dense hull plating that was used in the manufacturing process. The plating was from a shipment if miss cut plate meant for a run of Action 1 freighters. They also lacked a hyper drive system, which made them very reliant on using a base ship or platform.
