[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [qb] [QUOTE]a pusher-ship for big linear trains of cargo containers[/QUOTE]Long haul space truckers? I've seen that in so many other franchises, even Cowboy Bibappu, I'm sort of glad it hasn't been a common sight in Star Wars, actually.[/QUOTE][/qb]I'm not familiar with it elsewhere. It does make sense, though. Unlike an Earth tractor truck where the gearing for towing and such still preclude grand performance, in space a pusher relieved of its bulk would be a high-performance machine. [QUOTE][qb]If the Ghost had been a de-clawed bomber ship from some old conflict, then it would have been logical for it to have these obvious B-25 homage turrets. As it is, it kind of interferes with its function and should have been declared illegal by the empire by now.[/qb][/QUOTE]Indeed. As strange as it is for an oppressive regime to allow armed citizens, it's even more strange for them to allow armed vehicles. Even Han gets boarded sometimes, we hear, and yet the Falcon clearly wasn't impounded. Perhaps he bribed them . . . perhaps offering them that cargo he dumped. Of course, in the original trilogy we don't exactly see a lot of normal Imperial traffic. Leia's cruiser was a senatorial vessel and might've had special dispensation to be armed, and the Falcon seemed to be hanging out in the somewhat more lawless Hutt areas when we first see it and presumably intended to skirt authorities on arrival at Alderaan. Hmm . . . [/QB][/QUOTE]
