I need some suggestions of ships to populate the background of my sessions with. Im building some basic space backgrounds for the party as they enter systems, land at stations, etc. To that end, I want to populate them with some various ships.
Ive got a good selection of Rebel and Imperial ships of course, but now Im trying to come up with some 'unaffiliated' ship designs to throw about, Im drawing an absolute blank on what to go with.

Yavin was not a planet. It was a moon orbiting a larger planet.
Logan Reyes
Barloz class, Wayfinder, G9 riggers, and various YT-Series freighters, Jumpmasters and E9 scout vessels, and CR90s and gozantis for patrol vessels

Do you mean like individual ships with NPC crews for the players to run into as background characters/recurring minor NPCs, distinct recurring ships *without* NPCs, just recurring scenery, or just an assortment of class names and hullform descriptions for pure scenery use?

Just out of shot theyre bombarding Yavin itself from orbit. Gotta teach that gas a lesson.
Ive got some YT series and CR90s and Gozantis but these are good shouts, thanks user. Time to find some okayish art I can cut out and glue on in the right places.

Majority of ships are cargo and transports, actual warships wouldn't be real common unless there's some major shit going down somewhere.
Kind of think of a harbour in a big city- >1000's of little weekender fishing boats, yachts, maybe the odd speedboat and the like >Sometimes you'll get a big cruise liner come in >Near an export/import area- cargo and container ships >Working ships- trawlers, ferry's, dredges, customs vessels etc >Drydocks and refit yards will see the odd military ship in there for replenishment, refit, as are the usual cargo vessels

Primarily just some names of classes I can dig out to put in the background - either as just descriptions of what they can see, or better yet, actual pictures I can use to make a crowded background for the session.
Like, if they jump into a new system, I want to be able to change the background on roll20 to reflect it to some extent - a starfield, a planet, the station theyre heading for, a couple of ships setting up to dock - shit like that.
And of course having the names to drop in the descriptions is great too.
Usually Id be fine, but I sat down to find non-military vessels and my mind just immediately went blank on class names.

These things are pretty cool

Go to the WEG mediafire and grab Pirates And Privateers. It has a massive assortment of civilian ships included, and with that and the wook, it will be very easy to juat grab an assortment whenever you feel like it
