The E-9 Explorer vessel was designed by Loronar Corporation to be a long-range scout that requires a small crew to operate at peak efficiency. The ship is streamlined to maximize atmospheric flight for planetary landings and holds enough supplies to allow the ship to operate for long periods between starport visits. It is often purchased by small groups of adventurers searching the galaxy for lost or hidden treasures, but has been known to be popular with small mercenary bands as well.
Keeping long-range missions in mind, the E-9 has multiple backup systems integrated to allow the ship to continue functioning after sustaining damage to critical systems that would normally shut other ships down. Due to these backup systems, a minimum crew complement of four people is required.
The one major drawback to the ship is realized with independent traders and individuals looking for a personal transport, having found the crew requirement to be less than satisfactory for their needs.
Standard armament on the E-9 was meant for those missions that probe into the unknown regions of space, providing enough firepower for sufficient defense. However, it was soon discovered that the standard package could be easily upgraded to more lethal weaponry, such as exchanging the laser cannons for quad laser cannons or even assault laser cannons, with little difficulty.
The E-9 Explorer was first introduced into the market shortly before the fall of the Republic. The ship experienced mild success when it first became available, but Loronar continued with the production line. As time went by, sales gradually increased with positive reviews from customers and critics alike. Although not as popular as some other light transports and cruisers, it has been seen around the galaxy well into the New Jedi Order era.
