With the rise of the Empire starship profiles suddenly chnaged a lot. More heavily armed and armored craft were now more demanded than in the Old Republic. However this was not tolerated by the Empire; it doesn't allow civilians to possess heavy combat vessels.
But nevertheless, the famous Corellian Engineering Corporation continued with the production of their popular line of space transports which could very easily be modified to one's own purposes, this oncluding also easy modification on weapons and shields.
One of these vessels is an older but very durable medium freighter - the YZ-900. Even the stock model of this sereis comes with strong shields and capable armamemt. Of course this was not welcomed by the Empire, but it soon began ti use the craft for their own missions, such as important courier missions or patrol duties in more remote areas.
The vessel itself is just more than 50 meters in length and needs a crew of 7 to fully operate. It has enough interior space for ferrying importnat passengers and cargo safely across the space lanes, as being protected by strong hull plating and an enormeous weapons complement.
