- "I've outrun Imperial starships. Not the local bulk cruisers, mind you. I'm talking about the big Corellian ships, now."
- ―Han Solo
The Corellian Engineering Corporation, abbreviated CEC, was a Corellian starship manufacturer. Its products included several models of freighters, such as the YV-666 light freighter,[40] the YT-1300 light freighter,[38] the VCX-100 light freighter,[32] the VCX-150 freighter,[33] and the Baleen-class heavy freighter.[11]
Other CEC ships of note included the Gozanti-class cruiser[32] and its C-ROC variant,[44] the CR90 corvette,[9] the interstellar trash hauler,[24] the Consular-class space cruiser, and the G9 Rigger-class light freighter.[4]
Aside from ships, CEC also built masking transponders,[27] weapons systems like the AG-2G quad laser cannon,[6] escape pods such as the Model CEC Class-1,[29] and ion engines like the 3900hh[7] or the 5900hh.[13]
Ovan, the father of Han Solo worked for CEC, building the YT-1300s.[1]
During the reign of the Galactic Empire, Augustus Graves served as CEO of the company.[1]
By the time of the Battle of Scarif, CEC had been imperialized by the Galactic Empire.[41] Later, the company would be taken over by the First Order.[42]
