The Imp class of light cargo freighters was produced by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. The base freighter design, like many CEC ships, was modular and came with many options. The 'Besther' model, named for the project lead, featured individualized cargo pods which could be customized to accommodate specific needs.
The Besther Imp XIV was made in the first production run and has faired decently in its 34 years of service. Many non-essential systems no longer function well or at all, and it's space-worthiness is in doubt, but it works well as a planetside-only cargo transport.

The Lucasarts game "Star Wars 1313" was shaping up to be a brand new style of game for the Star Wars brand and a fantastic look at another side of the SW universe. Unfortunately, when Disney bought Lucasfilm they shuttered the Lucasarts game department. While not official, 1313 appears to have been effectively cancelled.
For SHIPtember I decided to pay tribute to what could have been. This ship features prominently in the trailer/demo video for the game, and appears to represent the opening act of the game.
While simple in shape, the detachable cargo pods were what first intrigued me enough to start this project. The ship is, to my best estimate, full minifigure scale. Though similar in looks, this ship would actually be dwarfed by the nearly four-times longer Tantive IV.
The full size of this model is 131.3 studs long, 42 studs wide, and 19 bricks tall. It took two weeks to create, start to finish.
The hiss and pounding of the dreaded machine. The soldiers of the trenches cower in fear at the sound.

Christchurch, New Zealand. Can't help photographing the irresistible wee Imp, especially parked on it's own like this. I presume it's still waiting for it's "Rock Café" signwriting.
This particular Cob Van was in fantastic condition when it was spotted as an exhibit at the 2014 Crich Tramway Village, Classic Transport Gathering on Sunday the 24th of August 2014. This particular Commer was made back in 1967 but it was first registered in the UK, on the 11th of September 1989 so it was presumably imported into the UK round that time. This one does have its original engine according to the DVLA, a 0.9 Litre (0878cc) Straight-Four Imp engine which runs on petrol. When seen the van had appeared to have been lowered and had been given new wheels too, but combined really suited it, along with the period sign writing.
