G-1A Transport

The Byblos G-1a is one of the more nimble starfighters in the galaxy, and is frequently seen in use by pirates and mercenaries due to its ability to take an enormous deal of punishment and continue functioning. The robust nature of the G-1a has saved the life of many a pirate who has found themselves on the wrong end of the long arm of the law. Despite its ability to take a great deal of punishment, it can dish out relatively little, featuring a single pair of heavy lasers, which, coupled with its remarkable maneuvering capabilities, make it an ideal dogfighting vessel.

Originally created to provide Republic High Command with secure escape transports and scout vessels, the Byblos G1-A was designed to be a nimble craft. Later re-designed to compete with the YT-510 it was made easy to modify, fast and armed. While it cannot keep up with the speed of the 510 it has weaponry to defend itself against pursuers. It is a ship that can perform many functions with the correct upgrades. With sensor upgrades it can be an effective scout and with weaponry upgrades it is a good fleet ship. The most effective role it has however is that of a personal escape ship. Faster and better shielded than an escape pod it is able to escape to a friendly sector quickly and save it's occupants. Able to carry up to 2 people it has also been used as an effective personnel transport, outrunning most other ships used in this capacity. As some attention has been paid to aerodynamics and shielding as well as to it's appearance it is used as a personal transport for some of the mid-level businessmen of the galaxy who want protection but also a sleek and fast ship.
