{{Quote|I owe the ''Outrider'' the best. She's brought me home when any other ship would have scattered me across space.|[[Dash Rendar/Legends|Dash Rendar]]|<ref name="EVV" />}}
The '''''Outrider''''' was a heavily modified [[YT-2400 light freighter/Legends|YT-2400 light freighter]] used by the brash [[Smuggler/Legends|smuggler]] [[Dash Rendar/Legends|Dash Rendar]]. Rendar held that his ship was almost as well known as the [[Millennium Falcon/Legends|''Millennium Falcon'']].

==Design and modifications==
[[File:Outrider_schem.jpg|thumb|left|180px|''Outrider'' [[:Category:Technical drawing images|schematics]]]]

The ''Outrider'' started life as a stock [[Corellian Engineering Corporation/Legends|Corellian Engineering Corporation]] YT-2400. Like all the ships in the [[YT-series/Legends|YT-series]], the ''Outrider'' featured the trademark saucer-shaped hull, which Rendar reinforced with titanium armor and gave a dark, chrome gleam. The cockpit and main escape pod were attached to the starboard side of the saucer with two bracing arms. The docking hatch and another escape pod were on the port side.<ref name="EVV" />

One of the first modifications Dash made was to replace the original engines with three [[KonGar Ship Works|KonGar]] [[KGDefender ion engine|KGDefender]] military-grade [[Ion drive|ion engines]]<ref name="EVV" /> stolen from the advanced engineering department of the [[Imperial Academy/Legends|Imperial Academy]] on [[Corulag/Legends|Corulag]]. The factory-issue [[Hyperdrive/Legends|hyperdrive]] was also replaced with a modified [[SoroSuub Corporation/Legends|SoroSuub]] Griffyn/Y2TG hyperdrive, giving the ''Outrider'' a Class 0.75 hyperdrive rating.<ref name="EVV" /> The backup hyperdrive engine had a Class 10 performance. Rendar also improved the ''Outrider''{{'s}} sensors and added a countermeasure/stealth package. Though these last modifications were highly illegal, they helped him to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

When Rendar could not avoid combat, the ''Outrider'' was more than capable of holding its own. The ship was armed with a pair of [[Dymek/Legends|Dymek]] heavy [[Laser cannon/Legends|laser cannons]], mounted on dorsal and ventral turrets. The standard Corellian 1D servo mounts provided a 180-degree range of fire above and below the ship. These cannons were hand-modified by Rendar to improve both firepower and range, and could be fired from the gunnery wells or from the cockpit. The ''Outrider'' was also armed with a pair of forward-firing [[Concussion missile/Legends|concussion missile]] launchers built into the cockpit tube. Each launcher contained a magazine of three missiles.<ref name="EVV" />

The ''Outrider'' was customized to be operated by Rendar and/or [[LE-BO2D9|Leebo]]. It could carry about 75 metric tons of cargo, in addition to up to four additional passengers. When fully stocked, it could go for two standard months before needing to resupply.

==History==
[[File:Outrider-SOTETC.jpg|thumb|left|180px|''Outrider'' in action]]
When asked how he acquired his ship, Rendar typically answered, "Not by clean living." The ''Outrider'' was a gift from "Uncle" [[Vanya]], a Twi'lek crime boss for whom Dash worked during the early days of his mercenary career. Vanya also provided Rendar with a [[Rodian/Legends|Rodian]] co-pilot who ended up dying within the first twenty seconds of Rendar's debut mission.

Rendar immediately began modifying the ship for smuggling duties. Most of the original modifications were done at the [[Byblos Starport Tower 214]] by Rendar and the talented [[Sullustan/Legends|Sullustan]] engineer [[Bolabo Hujaan]].

Sometime before the [[Battle of Yavin/Legends|Battle of Yavin 4]], the ''Outrider'' was smuggling cargo through [[the Maw]] when it was ambushed by the [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Galactic Empire]]. Rendar and his navigator, [[Eaden Vrill]], were able to escape by using a hyperspace jump, but it blew out the primary and secondary hyperdrive engines. They limped to [[Tatooine/Legends|Tatooine]] on their ion engines and laid the ''Outrider'' in a berth in [[Mos Eisley/Legends|Mos Eisley]] to effect repairs. Rendar was able to hire his crew to the [[holostar]] [[Javul Charn]] to get the required money to pay for repairs.<ref name="Shadow Games">''[[Shadow Games]]''</ref>

Dash and Leebo were infamous in smuggling circles well before they were hired by the [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Rebel Alliance]] to smuggle weapons and badly needed supplies to [[Echo Base/Legends|Echo Base]] on [[Hoth/Legends|Hoth]] after the evacuation of [[Yavin 4/Legends|Yavin 4]]. When the [[Battle of Hoth/Legends|Battle of Hoth]] began, the ''Outrider'' was still berthed in Echo Base's hangar. Dash and Leebo barely escaped the base, and had to fly through the [[Hoth asteroid field]] in order to escape the orbiting [[Death Squadron/Legends|Death Squadron]].

Soon afterwards, the ''Outrider'' accompanied the [[Millennium Falcon/Legends|''Millennium Falcon'']] in an attempt to rescue [[Han Solo/Legends|Han Solo]] from the [[Bounty hunter/Legends|bounty hunter]] [[Boba Fett/Legends|Boba Fett]], who had set down for repairs at the Imperial Enclave on the moon of [[Gall/Legends|Gall]]. The ''Outrider'' also participated in a battle to secure the Imperial freighter ''[[Suprosa]]'', which was carrying the plans for the [[Death Star II/Legends|second Death Star]]. Rendar also piloted the ''Outrider'' during the final conflict with [[Black Sun/Legends|Black Sun]] leader [[Prince/Legends|Prince]] [[Xizor/Legends|Xizor]] over [[Coruscant/Legends|Coruscant]]. In that battle it appeared that the ''Outrider'' was destroyed, and Rendar and Leebo killed, but it was a trick of timing and perspective. Rendar had decided that his time as a Rebel was over. The fate of the ''Outrider'' and its captain in later years is unknown.

==Behind the scenes==
The look of ''Outrider'' was designed by [[Doug Chiang]], who also worked on the designs for the ''[[Star Wars]]'' [[prequel trilogy]] films. He was inspired by the design of the ''Millennium Falcon''.<ref>''[[The Secrets of Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire]]'', Part 4: Battle Zones, II. Battleships</ref> Its class of ship was designed for the [[Special Edition]] release of the [[1977]] original film [[Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope|''Star Wars'': Episode IV ''A New Hope'']], and was later adopted and given the name ''Outrider'' in the multimedia project ''[[Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire]]'', though the latter was released first in [[1996]].<ref name="twitter">[[Pablo Hidalgo]] on [https://twitter.com/pablohidalgo/status/816347794445242368?lang=en-gb| Twitter]</ref>
