AA-9 Coruscant freighter

AA-9 Coruscant freighter The AA-9 Coruscant freighter, also known as the Botajef Freighter-Liner, was a massive freighter-model used to transport large groups of people to and from Coruscant.

Characteristics
AA-9 freighters were built at the Botajef shipyards. They employed Type Dyne-2577 sublight drives.

A number of such freighters, as a result of the dislocation of populations by the Separatist crisis, resulted in the Refugee Relief Movement converting numerous AA-9 freighters into makeshift passenger transports, the middle deck modified to carry 30,000 people.

History
One ship, the Jendirian Valley, transported Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala to Naboo after a failed attempt on Amidala's life.

During the Clone Wars, ships of this kind were used as cargo transports for the Grand Army of the Republic and were often gathered into convoys, with added protection given by dedicated warships like the Acclamator-class Assault Ship. They were also used as troop transports by the Clone Army itself.

The civilian version was known to be in use at least 20 years later, during the Galactic Civil War.
