Unverified Vehicle Name[]
The vehicle described in this article is titled "Cont-A Bulk Freighter", a name which is not mentioned in the official Capital Ship Manual or on Wookiepedia or on Google.
If a relevant source is not cited within 2 weeks, the article will be renamed to "Bulk Freighter" in accordance with the information in the official Capital Ship Manual.
I have not had the pleasure of fighting from a Bulk Freighter recently, so I don't know offhand what the vehicle's in-game title actually is. If someone could please verify this, preferably with a screenshot of the kill log in the upper-left, that will count as a relevant source.

Yeah, I know it's not officially called the "Cont-A Bulk Freighter". In most of the X-wing combat space sims, there are different types of containers, which are classified by letter. Container Type-A's are the trapezoidal containers, which are mounted on the sides of the Bulk Freighter. I figured since there are so many different types of freighters, I'd narrow down the selection to the Container-A classification, as opposed to a ubiquitous "Bulk Freighter". Your choice though, Shadowfax. I don't think it's too big a deal. BTW, it does go by (Player X) (Bulk Freighter) (Player X's victim) in the game. -=CT=- JaFaR
- I vote for renaming the ship to just Bulk Freighter. The name is not vague as the other freighters have their own names, such as Modular Conveyor, Bulk Freighter, Container Transport, and so on. --Safe-Keeper 11:51, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for listing the source JaFaR, nice to see it was technically correct as far as Star Wars lore goes. However, since the container-type is so rarely written with the ship's class name in other sources (i.e., the manual, or the cargo ships of most other Star Wars games), it really should not be written as the article title.
- It isn't a big deal, like you said, but this will save a little bit of confusion. Article titles are expected to match the official {boring} ship titles (see B-Wing Starfighter). So I vote for "Bulk Freighter" too.
