Background: The Class 720 freighter, also known as the Ghtroc 720, was a light freighter manufactured by Ghtroc Industries. Though less popular than the competing YT-series, the Ghtroc 720 developed a following in the Outer Rim Territories, where Ghtroc Industries was located, and thousands of the freighters remained in use even after the manufacturer went out of business.
The Ghtroc 720 was 38 meters long and could carry 135 metric tons of cargo in its two 55 cubic meter main holds. In stock configuration, a fixed double laser cannon was mounted above the slightly raised cockpit. A popular modification was to mount ventral and dorsal turrets to improve defenses.[2] A pair of docking tubes were located on the ship’s rear, and each could contain an escape pod. The sublight engines were located between the docking tube. Like many light freighters, the Ghtroc 720 was often extensively modified for smuggling purposes.
