Crusader-class corvette

Crusader-class corvette The Crusader-class corvette was a warship in use during the Galactic Civil War. It was named after the ancient Mandalorian Crusaders.

Characteristics


Made to counter starfighters and bombers, the Crusader-class corvette carried as many weapons as it could without compromising its space-worthiness. It was also faster than any other similar ship of its time. Together, these made the Crusader an extremely pricey vessel.

Crusaders were also known to utilize an advanced point-defense weapon system that allowed the ships to actually shoot down enemy missiles or torpedoes before they damaged friendly ships. This made the corvettes a valuable support addition to a fleet.

History
Ships of this class were part of the naval forces built up by the crimelord Tyber Zann.
