Description:
The G9 Rigger-class light freighter was a type of Corellian freighter manufacturer by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, and presumably well-armored like most other known models produced by CEC. Measuring 34.1 meters long and 16.9 meters wide (including its starboard outrigger), the small freighter had an outrigger that could be extended below its belly in flight, for added stability, and to provide an additional firing arc for the two blaster canons mounted there. It was already an aging model by the time of the Clone Wars, and was considered to be slow and unwieldy compared to starfighters.
While not a military design, at least one such vessel, the Twilight, saw action in the Clone Wars, when Anakin Skywalker used it to escape Teth and was intercepted over Tatooine by Rogue-class starfighters. Obi-Wan Kenobi made the first reference to the existence of the G9 in Episode IV, when he told Luke Skywalker that his father had been a navigator on a spice freighter, which was true from a certain point of view: the Twilight had indeed been a spice freighter prior to Anakin's "acquisition" of the vessel on Teth.
