i made a dynamic-class freighter for my party called "Stuck Abfall", which is german for "piece of trash". needless to say its a long term work in progress for the party to make it actually work.

Had a YZ-775 named the Auric Runner, a name which was recomended to me and of which Ive considered a personal favorite.

We had a beat-up scout in an old Traveller game that we re-christened, Mostly Fixed

Drig and I started out in our trusty YT-2400 that we lovingly named the Crater.
Other ships we've flown (or have encountered in our campaigns) include the Blue Nova, the Port Drifter, the Rusty Sprocket, the Undertow, the Space Maven, the Apogee...

Here's a few from various campaigns.
- Bua Nai Hauler, a beat-up YT-1300, owned by a character whose name translated into "Beer Drinker."
- Fallen Angel, a modified Ghtroc 720 owned by a female Twi'lek smuggler named Jasmine.
- Sudden Death, a heavily armed YG-4210 operated by a pair of bounty hunter/mercs that did most of their work during the Rise of the Empire era.
- Corellian Gambit, a slightly modified YT-2400 run by "Captain" Jayce Reynolds (played be me) in a PbP game set during the Legacy Era.
- Flying Heap, a fitting name for a junker of a ship that one group I GM'd had to buy on the cheap to escape Imperial "entanglements." And dear lord was that ship a junker. But what do you expect for a measly 5000 credits?
- Dirty Zanchez. Group was mostly college students, playing a pack of enforcers for a crime lord. 'nuff said.
- Boomstick, which was a transport literally built around a massively overpowered turbolaser. It couldn't blow up a planet, but it sure as heck could give an Imperial Star Destroyer a very bloody nose.

During the fall of the Republic, our Noble (a Politician of note) named our ship the "First Among Equals".

My last Ship was called Trassig. It was a custom YT-74205 freighter. It has 2 foward facing turbolaser cannons. A dual laser turret, and 2 torpedo lanchers modified to launch both proton and plasma torpedos. It has a Stygium cloaking device, powerful XS-12 shield system, along with an armorred hull from a Venator class star destroyer. It is highly manuverable and a .65 Hyperdrive rating.

Anyway, I always liked the name Arjuna for a NR ImpStar Deuce

That would in Latin have been "Primus inter Pares" which is even slightly cooler.

Obstinate Cow for your slow heavy ships
12% Return for a trade ship.
The Entdecker for exploration ships
Running a pirate operation? How about the Virgin Whore or Golden Jump or the Wild Tempest?
Hounds Tooth could fit most any non-military vehicle. As could Hair of the Dog, Shrapnel Skipper, or Midnight Runner.
Is she fast? Then try the Wind Skipper, The Harrier, or Kessel King.

My players acquired a YT2400 that was in terrible shape, and was inclined to drift to port even in level flight. They called her "The Shifty Crab." Later, when it became necessary to alter the BoSS codes to avoid Imperial entanglements, they re-christened her with the unlikely name "Randy Tauntaun".
