Marauder-class corvette

The Marauder-class was a light capital ship at just under 200 metres long . They were built before the start of the Clone Wars.

You can read the Wookiepedia entry here.

Role: Patrol Vessel, Interdiction Vessel, Missile Cruiser
Manufacturer: Sienar Fleet Systems (Republic Sienar Systems)
Build At: Lianna, Corulag, Jaemus
Size: 195 metres
Speed: Unknown
Hyperdrive: Class 2
Shielding: Unknown
 Main Battery: 8 Light Double Turbolasers
Secondary Weapons: 3 Tractor Beam Projectors
Anti-Fighter Weapons:  None
Complement: Varies
Availability: Tech Level 0

The stats above were for the stock model which was not produced in large numbers.

The Corporate Sector Authority bought many of them and they included 1 squadron of starfighters.

The Rebels used a variant that did not include turbolasers but had 4 concussion missile launchers instead.

The Imperial Navy rarely used this vessel, they had better and newer options available.

I am currently the default model for testing purposes. If you have a model I can use let me know, this ship needs its own model.

Guardian-class Light Cruiser

The Guardian-class was one of the three main vessels used by Imperial Customs, along with Imperial Customs Corvette built by Rendili StarDrive.

They were also used as patrol vessels, where their fast hyperdrive was an asset. In fleet engagements they were used in a picket role, although they were rarely used in such roles.

CR90 Covette

The CR90 was created before the Clone Wars as a fast, easily modifiable corvette.

It was built by Corellian Engineering Corporation based out of the Corellian system.

You can read the Wookiepedia entry here.

Role: Corvette, Light Convoy Escort, Transport, Anti-Starfighter
Manufacturer: Corellian Engineering Corporation
Build At: Corellia
Size: 150 metres
Speed: 60 MGLT
Hyperdrive: Class 2
Shielding: 400 SBD
 Main Battery: 2 Light Dual Turbolasers
Secondary Weapons: None
Anti-Fighter Weapons:  None
Complement: None
Availability: Tech Level 1

As a CEC vessel the CR90 Corvette had a number of standard configurations for different roles. (It could also be modified in any number of ways.) The stats above are for the standard configuration.

The transport / support vessel variant has no weapons and generates a small amount of income and extra space 'population' allowed.

There was also a heavily armed version, I haven't come up with the stats for that yet, but it would at least have 6 dual turbolasers instead of 2. Maybe a concussion missile launcher as well.

I am currently the default model for testing purposes. If you have a model I can use let me know.

Assassin-class Corvette

The Assassin-class was created before the Battle of Hoth as militarized version of the CR90 Corvette. It had a stronger hull, heavier shields and more weapons than its predecessor.

The Assassin-class Corvette was built by Corellian Engineering Corporation based out of the Corellian system.

You can read the Wookiepedia entry here.

Role: Corvette, Patrol, Anti-starfighter
Manufacturer: Corellian Engineering Corporation
Build At: Corellia
Size: 139.25 metres

I am currently the default CR90 Corvette model for testing purposes. If you have a model I can use let me know, this ship needs its own model.

IPV-1 System Patrol Craft

Post Essential Guide to Warfare, you cannot talk about the Imperial Navy without talking about the IPV-1 System Patrol Craft.

The IPV is the most common vessel in the Imperial Navy, with up to 24 stationed on each system. It was commonly used by Imperial Customs.

The main issue with this vessel is that it is not supposed to have a hyperdrive. To get around this I plan on implementing 2 things:
  1. Giving the vessel an extremely slow hyperdrive.
  2. Stationing the IPV at Cardan-class stations and XQ1 Imperial Customs stations.
You can read the Wookiepedia summary of the ship here.

Technical Specifications

Here are the relevant stats I am using:

Role: Patrol Vessel / Customs Vessel / Corvette
Speed: 76 MGLT
Shielding: 400 SBD
Main Battery: 4 medium turbolasers
Secondary Weapons: 1 concussion missile launcher
Anti-Fighter Weapons: None
Complement: None
Availability: Tech Level 1

I am currently just using the default model for now.

Have a model I can use for this? Let me know.
