Wennicas Industries BM-6 Stock Light Freighter - Whilst strikingly similar in appearance to the Corellian YT-2000, this vehicle was designed independently at the shipyards on Wennicas.  28 meters long and able to carry 120 metric tonnes, these freighters were soon lying in surplus stock due to their sluggish x2 hyperdrive multipliers.  Soon, smart buyers, realising the possible bargains on offer, began acquiring them and fitting in better hyperdrives.

Wezzwen TVL-8672 Souper Swoop – The make of swoop that was hugely redesigned and modified by Jan Lomona and his Trandoshan friend Treesk on A-desando.  A privately built swoop and not a sponsored vehicle, Jan and Treesk made good inroads into the swoop community and won many awards in the amateur categories.  (SD)

Worons Pride – Powerful freighter belonging to the ex-Janos Executioner Tannis Rixx and used by him in his new profession as a smuggler.  Made at the Quanndo Star Drives facility on Janos, the Pride boasted four laser cannons, presented in a quad-style but capable of independent firing arcs, an ion cannon and a powerful tractor beam that could latch and hold onto vessels much larger than itself.  With a times 1.5 hyperdrive, this was a vessel that could not only hold a large consignment of cargo but could pack a mighty punch as well.

Wretched Eclipse – Freighter belonging to the smuggler and Duze Jostenn employee Ade Lomona.  Along with Anak Arkensaw, Ade saw much action in this vessel, knowing that he had to work hard to pay off his debt to Jostenn.  The Eclipse was lost on Luronsa IV during a mission there, destroyed by a collapsing pier.  (RPG)
