Lore-Breakdown of the GHTROC 720 light freighter | Star Wars Hyperspace Database

[@hyperspacedatabase]

A Sea Turtle shaped light freighter. What other Star Wars ships are shaped like or based off of animals?

[@slimetank394]

The space ship - walker hybrid Maul and Savage used in the clone wars. It's a land turtle :D

[@slimetank394]

Also there's an asteroid miner ship that looks like a mosquito in legend iirc

[@hyperspacedatabase]

@@slimetank394 it's even called the turtle walker!

[@neilmurphy966]

Obvious one is the Spider Droids seen on Geonosis in AOTC lol.. tho not a ship lol

[@neilmurphy966]

The space turtle cud be the one that Discworld sits upon (Terry Pratchett 🤠)

[@dathorseguy3279]

Can't believe I have only now come across this video. The 720 freight has been my favorite Star Wars ship for years. Excellent breakdown!

[@hyperspacedatabase]

So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you very much!

[@deans-rewind2882]

Love how much it looks like a turtle. Good video

[@hyperspacedatabase]

Right? Such an interesting design! Thank you!

[@nfinity1421]

It is a very beautiful ship, thank you for this video about it.

[@hyperspacedatabase]

It's just so unique! Love it! 🐢

[@EpicJasonX9000]

it's definitely a neat looking ship. I know 4 mutant ninjas in New York City that would love to have a copy of this ship, especially to fight off invaders from Dimension X.

[@hyperspacedatabase]

Lol! A battle against the technodrome? I'd watch that!

[@homlac1]

Interesting, this is going to my new favorite freighter

[@hyperspacedatabase]

It is pretty cool, especially since it is so moddable like the Millennium Falcon was!

[@cernstormrunner7263]

love the Ghtroc.

[@hyperspacedatabase]

It's just so different. Gotta love it!

[@Ashmoleon2006]

this ship is a mainstay of our west end games star wars d6 games

[@hyperspacedatabase]

It's such a cool ship!

[@awesomefanger]

My rpg group had one when we played the original west end games D6 system. We called it the Gamera. Based on the turtle kaiju.

[@hyperspacedatabase]

Ah nice! That's awesome!

[@graydanerasmussen4071]

Ours is the Nova Star. My character lives in the Starboard escape pod, and reigns supreme in the workshop/engineering bay, being a droid tech/engineering geek. Nothing stays the same for very long on this ship :D

[@hyperspacedatabase]

@graydanerasmussen4071 very nice!

[@Exodianecross1978]

The 720 was always a favourite of mine, at least in LEGENDS! I don't believe it was a good decision to give this ship so much "Bith-flaws" in the new CANON! That makes things more complicated for me.

[@jkb2016]

It looks larger on the inside. Definitely one I'd like to own.

[@hyperspacedatabase]

I just love how unique it looks!

[@Shogundoxie1414]

My bounty hunter uses a Ghtroc 720, called the Flying Beskarback, named after a species of turtle found on Mandalore.

[@hyperspacedatabase]

Nice! That's awesome!

[@Shogundoxie1414]

@@hyperspacedatabase I changed the name to make it more Bounty Hunter-esqe so it's now called Dragon's Fortune

[@hyperspacedatabase]

Ooh, very nice! I dig it!

[@QalOrt]

If I had one, I'd name it Gamera.

[@hyperspacedatabase]

Heck yeah!

[@RedXlV]

Those seem like oddly large escape pods for a ship of this size. But I suppose if you ever *are* in a position of having to use them, you'd appreciate not having to pack in like sardines to escape.

[@hyperspacedatabase]

Totally.

[@sadbear101]

I’d like to imagine that because of the size they could be modified into small shuttles like on the “Ghost”. Or maybe even one shuttle, one small fighter?

[@graydanerasmussen4071]

@@sadbear101 They totally can! They are already space worthy, and "only" need Ion engines, Sensors, better repulsorlifters and controls to work as ship gig or small shuttle. They are also light and compact enough to receive a hyperdrive from an ARC 170, or an A- or B- wing. Not a combat craft, but it'll take you anywhere under the radar...

[@vger9084]

The 720 was the Ford Pinto of the Star Wars universe. 🤣🤣🤣

[@hyperspacedatabase]

😂

[@jwatson15]

I've always wondered. Does this ship have two engines or four? I always thought it had two on each side and two smaller ones in the back between the escape pods.

[@deciopenna]

What tool you use for the 3d model?

[@hyperspacedatabase]

I use the "people are more talented than me at animating" tool. 😅 seriously, a lot of the footage i get is from mods of the video game Empire at War and I highlight a lot of awesome models by users on sites like Sketchfab. Full credit to those modelers though, solid work!

[@baron7755]

I always thought it was pronounced as a word "gutroc" not spelled out

[@hyperspacedatabase]

It could be! Honestly some names in Star Wars are just left to the interpretation of the reader, as there aren't pronunciation guides for many of the questionable names/organizations.

[@kenross4453]

@@hyperspacedatabase AFAIK, the 'proper' pronunciation is not that far off; it is more just 'Troc' with a tiny but of a growl in front.

[@googesowders2758]

Like it better when it was a sea turtle 🐢. It's does look strong like a reinforce hull or something . Thanks for mentioning the novel ,I'll check it out. I'd turn em into gun boats . Or heavy bombers, orbital bombs for in space and old school protons for planetary. I like the ideal of orbital bombs for holding ships in place , they react to a ship moving or powering up an then attach. And low tech bombs just to carpet a driod factory.

[@hyperspacedatabase]

That would be a great use for these ships!

No one's cares about rey

[@Exodianecross1978]

Neither do I, but I care about Daisy Ridley! I hope she can continue her career, I have no ill feelings for her. She's an actress and did the job she signed on. That the result was so terrible is no fault of hers!

[@yoooo790]

@Exodianecross1978 definitely agree. Disney needs to have better writers. If I were in charge, I would start using legend material. Expanding the galaxy just a bit more. I would like to see other females such as Mara Jade Skywalker, etc.......easy money grab. But Disney likes to be dumb.

[@Exodianecross1978]

@yoooo790 I can only imagine Katheryn Winnick as Mara Jade. No one else comes to mind.
