Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

I don't know specific details, but as a freighter, the ship would lock onto it's cargo in that spot, so it would make sense to double as a loading dock. As it's not really used as a freighter by any of the characters, though, it would also make sense to repurpose that area. Attaching an escape pod there would be fitting.

It doesn't look like it can actually hold that much cargo, unless there are other decks that I haven't seen. That would make it pretty inefficient in terms of overhead cost per unit of cargo.

It doesn't carry cargo on board (at least, not the bulk of it). It's more like a space semi truck.

Ohh wow, that explains a LOT about the design.

Yup! The world design of SW has a lot of great details.
