Description
This is a Star Wars light freighter that I built years ago. While it shares design elements from several ships in the Star Wars universe, it is not directly based on any of them. In my opinion, it most closely resembles the Winnebago Eagle 5 from Spaceballs. Because of it's mismatched color scheme, I decided that it was an old freighter that had been upgraded, modified, and repaired by many owners over her lifetime. Most of the ship's owners were smugglers, bounty hunters, and other underworld figures.

Since she resembles the Twilight from The Clone Wars animated series, I decided to give the ship a similar model name. I call it the "G-8 Rigger Freighter". With the extensive modifications to nearly all its systems, the centuries-old craft is able to compete with more modern vessels of similar size. While not as fast as the Millennium Falcon, it still has a better-than-average hyperdrive and it makes up for its slower speed with heavier armor and greater firepower.
