The Hound's Tooth was a modified YV-666 light freighter manufactured by the Corellian Engineering Corporation.^[1] The elongated, rectangular hull was topped with the ship's command bridge, giving the pilot a commanding view through the segmented viewport.^[6] A deflector shield generator was situated below the bridge, and a forward ramp allowed access into the interior, as did a side ramp close to the aft manoeuvring fins. A rather grim painted mascot adorned the side of the forward hull, depicting a female Trandoshan standing betwixt the ship's name in aurebesh, with a battle-axe strapped to her back, a blaster in one hand and a Wookiee's severed head in the other.^[5][7]

Within, the vessel's lower decks were taken up by the engines, power core, and weapon systems.^[6] It was equipped with a quad laser cannon turret, an ion cannon, and a concussion missile launcher. The Hound's Tooth could reach speeds of up to 1,190 kph, and had a Class 1.5 hyperdrive. Bossk used his ordinary-looking freighter to store his huge collection of weapons, interrogation tools, and gruesome trophies from his years as a bounty hunter. He transformed the YV-666's cargo bays into high-security prisoner cells, and installed an advanced security system that ensured anyone attempting to break in would be blasted.^[5] One of the cargo holds, residing on the ship's upper level,^[2] was transformed into a launch bay for his personal Z-95-AF4 Headhunter, Nashtah Pup.^[8]
