Millennium Falcon: The Ship That Made the Kessel Run
She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts—the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy.
The Millennium Falcon is more than a ship—she's a legend. This heavily modified YT-1300 light freighter has saved the galaxy more times than any capital ship, despite her temperamental hyperdrive and constant need for repairs.
Originally a Corellian Engineering Corporation stock freighter, the Falcon was transformed by a series of owners, most notably Lando Calrissian and Han Solo. Her modifications include military-grade deflector shields, hidden smuggling compartments, quad laser cannons, and a souped-up hyperdrive that allowed Han to make the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs—by skimming dangerously close to the Maw black hole cluster.
Under Solo's ownership, the Falcon became central to the Rebellion's greatest victories: rescuing Princess Leia from the Death Star, destroying the Death Star II at Endor, and leading the assault on Starkiller Base decades later.
Han Solo loved her like a person, and Chewbacca maintained her with patience and pride. Lando called her the finest ship in the fleet. They were all right.
