This is the model number of a Corellian Engineering Corporation barge driver. The BD-27 was the predecessor to the Action-class series of medium freighters, and defined the basic shape of that transport. A command and crew area was set forward of the engine section, connected by a thin conduit. The entire ship can be connected to a cargo module capable of carrying 75,000 metric tons. The BD-27 measured 100 meters in length, and its automated systems required a only a pilot and co-pilot to operate. The automation often broke down, and required extensive maintenance. This ship had minimal shields and no armament. The BD-27, despite the flexibility of the removable cargo pod, was quickly replaced by larger bulk freighters, and was relegated to use in small operations.
