Legend

this modified Lantillian short hauler belonged to Reekeene's Roughnecks. It was originally purchased and modified to be a pleasure yacht for an Imperial admiral, but the Roughnecks liberated it from a Callonia spaceport. The gang made a number of changes to the original design, turning it into an almost military transport. The Long Shot could transport up to 85 metric tons of cargo, and the starboard passenger pod contains a secret smuggling compartment. The ship is armed with a pair of turret-mounted laser cannons placed just forward of the stabilizers. It was later obtained by the Alliance, and was the ship that was supposed to meet the Celestial as it was moving Bane Nothos and Grand Moff Ravik to a penal world. The Alliance agents on the Long Shot were pursued by the Star Destroyer Relentless, but escaped into Otherspace.
