The Gozanti-class cruiser, also known as the Gozanti-class armed transport, was a class of armored starship used by various factions, and as such had many modified sub-variants, including the Black Sun frigate, the Imperial Gozanti-class cruiser, the C-ROC Gozanti-class light cruiser, the IGV-55 surveillance vessel, and the Gozanti-class Assault Carrier. During the First Order-Resistance War, the Gozanti Armed Transport shared a similar name.
The Gozanti-class cruiser was a starship that could act as a freighter and cruiser. It could be modified to accommodate a twin laser turret in a dorsal mount and a heavy laser cannon on its ventral side. The Gozanti also had a loading elevator on the bottom near the nose and docking ports to the side near the cockpit section.[10] The ships had a hyperdrive and three engines.[1]
Star Wars Gozanti Cruiser
Gozanti-class cruisers were introduced by the Corellian Engineering Corporation[1] around 34 BBY,[9] and they proved to be one of the major starship success stories of the late Republic Era.[4]
The Black Sun crime syndicate also used modified Gozanti-class cruisers. They were forced into joining Darth Maul's Shadow Collective and took part in the takeover of Mandalore.[15] Several joined with Maul's forces after the battle of Zanbar. These ships were painted black with gold highlights, including a stylized rim of a star placed over the cruiser's front, taken from the syndicate's emblem.[16]

The Imperial Gozanti-class cruiser[2] was a 64-meter-long starship that[4] served as a light cruiser.[3] It was a modified sub-variant of the civilian Gozanti-class cruiser used by many factions.[2]
Weeks later, a convoy of three cruisers was tasked with transporting a large kyber crystal. The same Lothal rebel cell captured an Imperial decoder and discovered the convoy's location. The starship Ghost arrived and launched its shuttle, piloted by former Jedi Kanan Jarrus, to distract the convoy's TIE escorts. The lead freighter attempted to flee back into hyperspace, but was destroyed by the Ghost. The kyber crystal amplified the explosion and destroyed the rest of the Imperial ships.[6]
In 4 BBY,[17] Transport Ship 63378 was stolen by the same rebel cell on Lothal. The cruiser was used in the action at Mustafar, a rescue attempt by the Spectres to save Kanan, who had been captured by Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin, and was being interrogated on his Star Destroyer, the Sovereign, in orbit above Mustafar.[7] The same year, several Gozanti freighters took part in the Imperial blockade of Ibaar. They deployed starfighters against Phoenix Cell ships attempting to break the blockade.[19]
During the Galactic Civil War, smugglers also used the cruisers.[27] Following the Battle of Yavin, Imperial officers Ciena Ree and Berisse Sai were ordered to take a Gozanti to recover Lord Vader. Once they arrived at Yavin, they surveyed the destruction of the Death Star, and then Vader's starfighter docked with them. Vader ordered the two officers into the cargo bay, and piloted the ship himself back to the Imperial fleet.[28]
While transporting Grakkus Jahibakti Tingi to Akiva in the Millennium Falcon, the smugglers Han Solo and Chewbacca encountered TIE fighters. Wondering where the Imperial starfighters had come from, Solo speculated that there must be a Gozanti-class cruiser nearby.[29]
The Gozanti-class cruiser, known also as Imperial Freighter, was a heavily armored starship used by the Galactic Empire. It first appeared in Episode I and was later added to the Clone Wars TV series.
The Gozanti-class transport was a 64-meter long starship that could act as a freighter and a small, pocket cruiser in military application. It sported a twin laser turret in a dorsal mount and a heavy laser cannon on its ventral side. The Gozanti also had a loading elevator on the bottom near the nose and docking ports to the side near the cockpit section. The ships had a hyperdrive and three engines. The ships could fit in the main hangar of a Separatist supply ship.

I've got the consular cruiser deck plans from colonial chrome, theses are of the ship as of the Phantom menace when according to wookieepedia the ship is 115 meters long. However the clone wars cgi series introduced the charger c70 refit which increased the length to 138.x meters according to wookieepedia, it also dramatically increased the cargo capacity. I haven't been able to find a deck plan of the charger refit. I'm wondering if anyone here knows of one or perhaps the OP might be generously inclined to give it the same treatment he gave to the gozanti?
These are all great. Thanks for the deck plans! In my EotE, we have made a Gozanti cruiser a major set piece. It started as an ISB ship that was antagonistic to the PCs. They decided to take it over in space, which was probably one of my favorite sessions. A couple things to note:
