FarStar

The FarStar was a CR90 Corellian Corvette originally known as the Freedom's Messanger and served as a diplomatic ship for the Old Republic. After being lost in the Battle of Ord Torrenze, she was later recovered by the Imperial Navy and renamed as Renegade. After being heaviliy modified by Moff Kentor Sarne the ship was captured by the New Republic, rechristined FarStar and used to hunt him down. She was destroyed in the final battle against Sarne at Kathol.

Original Design
As a diplomatic ship, the Freedom's Messanger was equipped with luxurious interior, diplomatic suits, extended droid service bays and enterteinment and recreation facilities.

Wartime refit
During the Clone Wars the ship was put into combat service. Additional weapon mounts and troop barracks replaced the suits and halls, and the droid bays were used for blaster recharge and maintenance.

Sarne's Modifications
The ship was equipped with a landing bay and three extendable docking tubes. This allowed the FarStar to carry 8 T-65 X-wing starfighters and 4 REC Defender starfighters. It also had two support craft, the Muvon and an Aegis-class combat shuttle.

Old Republic Service
Buildt by the Corellian Engineering Corporation around 52 BBY, the Freedom's Messenger served Chandrila and the Galactic Republic as a diplomatic ship.

During its years of service, the ship was at the signing of the Galactic Republic-Marzoon Confederation treaty as well as delivering a Jedi delegation to end the Vaykaaris uprising. The Freedom's Messanger was widely known as a symbol of peace and hope.

This role changed during the Clone Wars, when the ship was refitted to serve as a combat vessel. But despite the different role, the Messanger served as well as a warship as she did as a diplomatic vessel.

During the Battle of Ord Torrenze, Freedom's Messenger led an assault force into the blockade to allow for civilian evacuation of the planet. The guns-blazing headlong charge cleared a path for the evacuation ships, but Freedom's Messenger suffered heavy hull damage and a critical power core breach, delivering a fatal dose of radiation poisoning to its crew. The ship crashed finally crashed into the planet.

Imperial Service
Years later, the corvette was recovered by the Imperial Starfleet, refitted and recommissioned as Renegade under the command of Kentor Sarne. Assigned to the 15th Deep Core Reserve Fleet, the Renegade fought against pirates as well as several Rebel outposts. Later Sarne rised in the Imperial hierarchy, but the Renegade remained on reserve duty.

In 2 BBY a newly appointed Moff Kentor Sarne requested his old ship to be appointed to his fleet. Like before, the Renegade was responsible for several peacekeeping operations, namely the Subjugation of Charis in 4 ABY.

In 7 ABY Moff Sarne had become one of many Imperial Warlords. Having also discovered the ancient Darkstryder technology, he took the Renegade off the active duty list and once again placed her under his personal command. Hidden in the his private shipyards in the Sorbiss Valley on Kal'Shebbol, the ship underwent a massive refit to serve as a long-range exploration and subjugation vessel.

In 8 ABY the refit was almost complete, but the Battle of Kal'Shebbol forced Sarne to leave the ship behind and flee to Kathol. The ship fell into New Republic hands. Eager to follow the Moff, a hastly assembled crew manned the ship and went into the Kathol Sector.

New Republic Service
Now christined FarStar, the crew went deep into the Kathol sector and encountered many obstacles on their mission to find Moff Sarne. The crew was forced to abandon ship after suffering severe damage in battle against Imperial Moff Kentor Sarne's fleet. The FarStar, however, crashed into Sarne's garrison on Kathol, wiping it out.
