Millennium Falcon

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Millennium_Falcon

The Millennium Falcon, originally known as YT-1300 492727ZED, was a Corellian
YT-1300f light freighter used by the smugglers Han Solo and Chewbacca during the
Galactic Civil War. It was previously owned by Lando Calrissian, who lost it to
Solo in a game of sabacc.

Its aged appearance belied numerous advanced modifications to boost the ship's
speed, weapons and shield, including a hyperdrive engine among the fastest in
the entire galaxy, enabling it to outrun Imperial Star Destroyers. It included
sensor-proof smuggling compartments, which were used during the rescue of
Princess Leia Organa to evade Imperial stormtroopers. Afterwards, the Millennium
Falcon saw further action when Solo chose to join the Rebels during the Battle
of Yavin, where it was able to sneak up on Darth Vader's TIE Advanced.

The Millennium Falcon was a YT-1300 light freighter of the YT-1300f variety. Its
basic shape was defined by two convex saucers welded together, a pair of
front-facing mandibles and an outrigger-style, side-mounted cockpit with
transparisteel viewports. Apart from the shape of its chassis, the Falcon
retained very little of its off-the-dock instrumentation. Because its successive
owners either upgraded or downgraded every system according to their personal
specifications, the freighter ended up becoming a unique ship. These
customizations, however, came at the price of reliability, and the Falcon was
known to suffer frequent breakdowns in the heat of battle.

ENGINES:

The Millennium Falcon's Girodyne SRB42 sublight engines were heavily modified
through the addition of a SLAM overdrive that rerouted energy for acceleration
bursts. Thanks to that, the ship could fly at a maxium speed of 1,050 kilometer
per hour in atmosphere and 3,000 G in space. The stock hyperdrive of the YT-1300
series was replaced with a Isu-Sim SSP05. Although the regular SSP05 was a Class
1 hyperdrive, the one that equipped the Falcon had been jury-rigged "Vandangante
style" into a Class 0.5 drive—twice as fast as most warships of the Galactic
Empire.

ARMAMENT, HULL AND SHIELDS:

The weaponry of the Millennium Falcon was normally suited for a much larger
warship. It included two CEC AG-2G quad laser cannons (one ventral and one
dorsal) with enhanced laser actuators and gas feeds, which gave them maximum
range and damage. Between the forward mandibles, there were two Arakyd ST2
concussion missile tubes, each of which carried a four-missile magazine.
Additionally, a Blastech Ax-108 "Ground Buzzer" blaster cannon mounted near the
ventral boarding ramp allowed its crew to defend the ship while on the ground.

Duralloy plates salvaged from an Imperial cruiser afforded the Falcon a capital
ship-class hull armor.

The ship had three deflector shield generators: the bow was protected from both
lasers and concussion missiles by Torplex and Nordoxicon units, while a Kuat
Drive Yards generator shielded the stern.

The Falcon's combination of sublight speed and maneuverability was comparable to
most of the starfighters fielded by the Rebellion and Empire, while its
shielding, hyperdrive, and heavy weapons were on par with those typically found
on capital ships. These traits made it an ideal choice for General Lando
Calrissian's attack run within the bowels of the Death Star during the Battle of
Endor. The Falcon's only real combat weakness was its sheer size in comparison
to starfighters. Although the ship had squeezed through many narrow spots in its
history, it still lost the oversized sensor dish while trying to get through a
particularly tight section of the Death Star's superstructure.

"You know, that ship's saved my life quite a few times. She's the fastest hunk
of junk in the galaxy!" Lando Calrissian

"For once, sir, the Millennium Falcon actually appears to be in good working
order." C-3PO, during the Assault on Cymoon 1

"You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought." Leia Organa upon seeing
the Millennium Falcon for the first time

"Punch it!" Han Solo to Chewbacca

"Look, I want you to take her. I mean it, take her! You need all the help you
can get; she's the fastest ship in the fleet!" Han Solo to Lando Calrissian

"You tell him Han Solo just stole back the Millennium Falcon for good." Han Solo

"The garbage will do!" Rey, being forced to board the Falcon during the escape
from Jakku

Awesome set!
