The YT-1300 light freighter, also known as the YT-1300 Corellian freighter, was a type of light freighter manufactured by the Corellian Engineering Corporation that saw operation in the galaxy during the final days of the Galactic Republic and the reign of the Galactic Empire. By the year 0 BBY, it was considered an outdated model. The Millennium Falcon, a smuggling vessel that became part of the Rebel Alliance fleet, was a heavily modified YT-1300 of the YT-1300f variety.

The Corellian YT-1300 was a model of freighter and transport manufactured by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. Some of the vessels saw service as intermodal tugs in orbital freight yards, as the vessel's side-mounted cockpit and front-facing mandibles allowed it to push containers, although the design was modular enough to allow enterprising captains to modify their ships. Standard YT-1300s possessed powerful Girodyne SRB42 sublight engines and an Avatar-10 hyperdrive and were powered by a Quadex power core. A SuperFlow IV computer controlled the ship's most critical functions while a Rubicon navicomputer handled navigation tasks and calculated paths for hyperspace jumps.
