Millennium Falcon
The Millennium Falcon is a Corellian
Transport owned by Han Solo.
It has been endlessly upgraded by its owner to gain extra speed
by fitting a faster hyper drive, early warning systems of long
range illegal scanners and countless hidden smuggling
compartments. For armment it carries 2 quad lasers mounted either
side of the dish and two missile tubes to the front. These tubes
are usally armed with concussion missiles . A retracable blaster is also fitted
above the entry ramp for coving fire when it is on the ground.
The Falcon was oringally the property of Lando Calrissian but Solo won it off him in a game of sabaac before he became the administrator of bespin. Solo then began using the ship for Smuggling purposes for the vile Jabba the Hutt. His ship could out run any imperial ships so he was trusted with higher price loads. One day however his famed smuggler's luck ran out as in one of his ships erratic phases an Imperial ship caught him os he had to jettison his cargo and ended up owing Jabba a lot of Credits.
The ship due to its infinite improvements and modifications is jury rigged and many times Chewbacca and Solo has to crawl inside the Falcon's hull making last minute repairs.
The Falcon was hired by an old man and a young boy as passange to Alderaan for a fomenall amount, and was later captured by Imperials using a tractor beam generator on the Death Star. The ship was also used in the battle of Yavin by Han Solo to cover Luke Skywalker in his X wing when he fired the photon torpedos. It also was used as an escape vessel for the Princess Leia Organa to escape Echo base on Hoth and was flown by Lando Calrisian in the Battle of Endor.
