I could not find anything on Google, am hoping someone here would know…. I found a reference to the Serenity that places her at 141 tons, and she's bigger than the Falcon… |

I would put it in the Traveler 200 ton category |

Not to hijack the thread, but shouldn't that be mass rather than weight? Anyhow, the Wookieepedia article for the YT-1300 Light Freighter gives the cargo capacity as between 25 and 100 tons, depending on configuration. No all-up weight is specified. Ron |

Weight, mass, and displacement are all measured differently… if the hyperdrive uses liquid hydrogen, it will mass a lot less than if it uses an equal volume of plutonium. |

Going by the owners manual the cargo capacity is 25 metric tonnes. for the basic model.
Probably that can be increased in customised versions, the Falcon herself appears to be rated at 100 Mt though she is a hybrid of the transport and cargo models. |

Not to hijack the thread, but shouldn't that be mass rather than weight? Given an assumption of sitting at 1 grav, I've no problem with the two being equivalent. …it will mass a lot less than if it uses an equal volume of plutonium. *head scratching* Sorry, from whence do you get volume-of-fuel? Is that a suggestion that comparing the Falcon to Serenity may be apples-to-flossfruit? As I mentioned above, Weight/Mass/Displacement are very different, but with the right assumptions, may be used interchangeably. Traveller was mentioned, but not in the OP. Doug |

it depends on the size of the planet you're doing the weighing on.
in space it weighs nothing.
ymmv, |

Not quite true; everything in space is in 'free fall', not weightless. By the way, have you ever seen the Falcon on a planet, or in the case of structures, generated anti-gravity, that seems other than approximate 1 grav? Even dodging minocs and the cave worm, everyone moved as if 1 grav. Still off topic, and inappropriate praddle. Sorry, Keifer113, hope someone that was actually courteous actually answered your question. Doug |

Not sure where 100 tons of cargo fits on the Falcon. Serenity layout seems much more oriented to on and off loading bulk cargo of any type. |

Only if navies abandon the traditional metric for ship burthen. And why would/should "they" do that? |

I can just hear Chewbacca now "RAwwrrrr rawwwRRR"
translation: "Does this millennium falcon make my butt look fat?" |
