The Crescent-class light transport
is the Hyrotil Corporations first and so
far only foray into the field of light
freighter design. Hyrotil designed the
Crescent-class Transport to appeal to
affluent young beings who desired to
travel among the stars.

The Crescent has all the features

that people have come to expect from a
Hyrotil luxury craft: sleek, streamlined
hull
design,
luxuriously
appointed
interiors with the latest food-preparation
technology in the galley and the latest in
holo-entertainment units in the lounge
area.

The stock Hyrotil is available in two

versions: one with a hyperdrive, and one
without a hyperdrive, but which features
a larger lounge area and cargo bay
(designated by the manufacturer as
Crescent-class and Crescent-class Mark
II). Both varieties come with minimal
shieldingjust enough to withstand
impacts from small meteors and other
space debrisand a light laser cannon
for armaments. The sensors are likewise
at the minimal levels required by BoSS
regulations. However the cockpit panels
look very impressive, and thats what
most
purchasers
of
Crescent-class
vessels are interested in. The craft is
equipped with a three-person escape
pod, which is located at the front of the
vessel underneath the cockpit.
Though the Crescent has a small
cargo capacity and limited upgrade
options, some spacers-mostly those who
make their living through con games or
out-and-out robbery-find it an attractive
vessel because of its widespread use
among the children of the rich. Customs
officials and patrol vessels are far less
likely to hassle someone who may be the
son of a Moff or corporate vice president

than the spacer who is clearly up to no

goodas his souped-up YT-1300 shows.
Despite its limitations, there are
several ways to upgrade the Crescent.
Many captains have turned the escape
pod (access hatch in the lounge floor)
into a weapons housing; others have
converted cabins into space for extra
shield generators, upgraded sensors, or
other upgraded electronic suites. The
ships power couplings run along its
central passage, which means it is
particularly easy to reroute the power
systems into the cabins. Sensor jamming
equipmentwhich consumes a great
deal of power and is very difficult to
successfully
install
in
most
light
freightersfits into a Crescent-class
vessel like a hand into a glove. It may be
difficult to add more speed to one of
these vessels, but it is not difficult to turn
a common Crescent Transport into a
smugglers dream.
