Capsule:
Once the downfall of the Empire occured, Tannhauser Shipyards threw their hat into the starfighter hauling arena. With the times of uncertainty that lay ahead, they believed that a vessel that could transport numerous fighters for a resonable price would be invaluable, and the result is the "Tannhauser-1253.

The ship isn't noteworthy other than it is highly reliable, increasing the resale value tremendously. Currently, Tannhauser Shipyards is backlogged with orders for the Carrier, and is offering discounts to the New Republic and affiliated worlds.
