Description

Star Wars MOC, Minstar Pozze's modified Correllian YT-1300, the 'Dire Convor'.

Minstar was an up and coming smuggler in the Pyke Syndicate, doing well enough to stop working for other captains, to the point where he could be his own captain. He had his eyes on a beat up YT-1300 Correllian freighter, and snatched it up when it became available. Upon beginning repairs and making upgrades to the ship, it was immediately compared to the infamous 'Millennium Falcon', and Minstar was thought to be trying to duplicate another smuggler's look and style. Offended by this, Minstar took to gutting and redesigning the ship and mounting the cockpit on the opposite side of the vessel, and mounting an escape pod to the front at the mandibles as had previous freighter owners; however Minstar's purpose in doing so was to create another weapon, a launchable missile, to use in the event of imminent capture. Minstar also swore he'd never let the 'Convor' fall in to disarray like 'that other guy's' ship, to further distinguish himself, causing a ongoing drain on what profits he was able to bring in.
