Corellian Engineering Corporation
Corellian Engineering Corporation (located in the Corellia system) is one of the largest and oldest ship manufacturers. The company primarily produces civilian vessels, although it occasionally builds specialized warships for markets not given attention by Kuat Drive Yards and similar corporations. Its ships (civilian or otherwise) range in size from a few meters to several kilometers, depending on the application. Nonetheless, CEC is best known for its moderately-armed, easily-modified freighters.

Action V Transport | |
|
CEC's Action series of transports is one of the smaller types of bulk freighters; these ships carry only a fraction of the cargo of other such freighters. However, as a result, Action transports are very inexpensive, and can be found throughout the galaxy in the ownership of private individuals and freelance traders. The Action V is the most popular of the series; it is old enough that it is already as widespread as its predecessors, but new enough that it has not yet been rendered outdated.

Like all ships in the Action series from CEC, the Action VI is small, inexpensive, and unarmed. It is slightly newer, larger, and has a faster hyperdrive than the Action V, but is otherwise identical to the earlier ship. (Source: Rebel Alliance Sourcebook) |

Barloz-class Freighter | |
|
The Barloz-class shares its design elements with most CEC freighters (such as the YT series), but features several characteristics not usually found on ships from this company (at least not ships the size). It has a triangular instead of saucer-shaped hull, but retains circular docking rings and a cylindrical command pod (which is centrally located instead of attached to the starboard side). The Barloz also has a dish-shaped sensor and is (lightly) armed. The statistics listed here are interpolated from those of the Lady Sunfire. (Source: The Thrawn Trilogy Sourcebook) |

Corellian Corvette | |
|
The CR90 was originally designed to be a well-armed, easily modifiable transport (in the tradition of previous CEC ships), although it's more of a lightly-armed warship. Indeed, it fits the classic role of a corvette: in addition to being lightly armed, the CR90 is small and fast. As a result, pirate and mercenary organizations often used these ships, along with planetary defense forces and other small militaries (including the Alliance). According to West End Games, Corellian Corvettes carry six double turbolasers. The various Corvettes seen in the movies and shown elsewhere have no such weapons, although the nature of this ship probably does allow modification to such a configuration. In any case, I have interpreted the weapons on the standard Corvette as being two turbolasers and four laser cannons. (Source: Rebel Alliance Sourcebook) |

Corellian Gunship | |
|
The Corellian Gunship is one of the few dedicated warships designed and manufactured by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. It is relatively small, but carries a formidable amount of weaponry; this ship could easily win a battle against a vessel twice its size. However, as a result, there is little space on board for cargo or extra equipment, unlike most CEC ships. (Source: Rebel Alliance Sourcebook) |

HLAF-500 | |
|
The HLAF(Heavy/Light Attack Fighter)-500 is an upgraded version of the LAF-250. Its engines and weapons have been upgraded considerably to benefit the major application of the fighter (policing and anti-pirate duties). (Source: Cracken's Threat Dossier) |

CEC designed the LAF(Light Attack Fighter)-250 primarily to combat pirates, a constant threat in the Corellian system. These fighters are small, maneuverable, and capable of long patrols, although in combat their light weaponry and slow speed pose a serious problem. Eventually, the company introduced the HLAF-500 to resolve these shortcomings. (Source: Cracken's Threat Dossier) |

Mynock-class Assault Boat | |
|
The Mynock-class Assault Boat, another of CEC's few military designs, is similar to assault shuttles used by the Empire (such as the Gamma-class). However, this ship was built with ground-based battle in mind; it usually carries or supplements infantry. Nonetheless, the Mynock is still capable of space travel and combat, and can be used in that capacity if necessary. (Source: Cracken's Threat Dossier) |

YT-1300 | |
|
The YT-1300 is a typical example of CEC's freighters. It includes a circular hull, a starboard-mounted command pod, and light armament. In addition, these ships also have front-mounted mandibles used for external cargo transportation (a feature not found on most CEC freighters). The ILM sublight value is interpolated from the Millennium Falcon's. Also, the length of the YT-1300 is not 26.7 meters, as reported by West End Games; see the link below for more info.

YT-2400 | |
|
The YT-2400 is similar to other YT-series ships from Corellian Engineering Corporation, featuring a saucer-shaped hull and a starboard-mounted command pod. However, unlike other YT-series ships, the YT-2400 is not meant to be exclusively a freighter. Stock 2400s are well-armed directly from the factory, and, like most CEC-built ships, can be modified to hold even more weapons. Thus, the design is favored by mercenaries and smugglers, or anyone else who needs a well-armed "transport." (Source: Shadows of the Empire Sourcebook) |

YV-666 | |
|
The YV-666 has almost nothing in common with other Corellian Engineering Corporation light freighters. These ships are considerably larger, are box-shaped, and have wings (probably for atmospheric travel). Thus, the YV-666 may have been designed by a different company, and is only manufactured by CEC. Unfortunately, we do not know the specifications of the stock YV-666. These ships are probably at least 50-60m long, since the Hound's Tooth is capable of carrying a scout vessel.
