The YT-2000 light freighter is a Corellian Engineering Corporation (CEC) starship that was designed as an upgrade to the iconic YT-1300 series. Introduced in "Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance," this model is known for its central cockpit design, which distinguishes it from the offset cockpit of the YT-1300. The YT-2000 features a more streamlined and efficient layout, making it highly favored among smugglers, traders, and independent pilots who seek both versatility and cargo capacity. This freighter boasts impressive modularity, allowing easy upgrades to armament, shielding, and sensor systems, thereby catering to a wide range of mission profiles.

In terms of technical specifications, the YT-2000 typically comes equipped with a pair of laser cannons, a dorsal and a ventral turret, and ample cargo space that can be easily modified to fit additional equipment or cargo. The ship has a hyperdrive system rated with a class 2 rating, making it reasonably fast for its class. Pilots often appreciate the YT-2000 for its durability and ease of maintenance, attributes that are hallmarks of CEC designs. In the lore of the Star Wars universe, the freighter gained popularity due to its balanced combination of speed, firepower, and cargo capacity, making it a reliable choice for various spacefaring roles.
