The Millennium Falcon, originally known as YT-1300 492727ZED, was a Corellian
YT-1300f light freighter used by the smugglers Han Solo and Chewbacca during the
Galactic Civil War. It was previously owned by Lando Calrissian, who lost it to
Solo in a game of sabacc.
Its aged appearance belied numerous advanced modifications to boost the ship's
speed, weapons and shield, including a hyperdrive engine among the fastest in
the entire galaxy, enabling it to outrun Imperial Star Destroyers. It included
sensor-proof smuggling compartments, which were used during the rescue of
Princess Leia Organa to evade Imperial stormtroopers. Afterwards, the Millennium
Falcon saw further action when Solo chose to join the Rebels during the Battle
of Yavin, where it was able to sneak up on Darth Vader's TIE Advanced.
Awesome set!
