So according to that link, the cargo bay doors for cargo spot 2 and 3, are 4.12m high. So that should accomodate possibly a Y-wing, X-wing, and easily an A-wing.

I've always seen them as a possibility of A-Wing Carriers. Especially as short legged and lousy hyperdrive storage capacity of the A-Wings.
Probably a lot of Hutts bought them up in crooked auctions as Z-95 Carriers as well. Maybe only put a half-squadron on them and use the rest for cargo? |

Page 237 of the Thrawn trilogy sourcebook has a picture of an x-wing being carried in an standard Ghtroc freighter. Should give a good sense of scale.

So 'scum' would be more likely to use them as carriers..

Maybe, but you have numerous bulk freighters with a lower price point with similar cargo capacity. Pretty much all of the Action Series come to mind. You also have the Brayl-class bulk freighter: http://d6holocron.com/wiki/index.php?title=Brayl_Bulk_Freighter

A B-Wing could also fit through either door. Have four of those come boiling out and watch anything short of a star destroyer run for cover. If you're really serious about threatening capital ships, stash some Skipray Blastboats in the hold. They'll fit with the wings in landing mode.

It took me a while to realize it, but it looks like they tried to make a "sea turtle in space" with the 720. Not a bad look per se, but certainly as slow as a turtle...

Yup. It's a stretch sea turtle. Now what if a Quarren, Mon Cal, or other aquatic species had one filled with water? That could prove interesting to visitors.

I noticed the sea turtle look as soon as I saw it in the 90s. An actual sea turtle is beautiful but I feel this spaceship version is ugly. It is a horrible design.
In 1e everyone had YT-1300s or GX1s. In 2e this turtle ship inexplicably became popular.

I figured the cargo space at 70m x 36m x 6m. That gives us 15,120 cubic meters. Google tells me seawater weighs 1.024 metric tons per cubic meter, so to approximately fill the cargo hold is only 15,843 metric tons. That means a lot mass left over for fish!

It did get me wondering about how electronics mix with damp, moist environments (as prefered by Mon Cals and Quarren). Maybe Mon Cals are the originators of the fluidics control systems described in Han Solo's Revenge...

I am shocked at how few folks i have played with/ran for, over the decades, who've opted for a Ghtroc.. MOST go for some form of YT, or the L-19!
