IPV-1 System Patrol Craft

IPV-1 System Patrol Craft Sienar Fleet Systems IPV-1 System Patrol Craft were standard system security and customs vessels commonly used near planets to interdict smugglers and protect against piracy.



Being very fast and maneuverable, they patroled Imperial sectors when Star Destroyers were unavailable. They were regarded as the first line of defense against purveyors of contrband and various organizations attempting insurrection against an Imperial system, and relied on their speed to catch and disable or destroy enemy craft.

Lacking a hyperdrive, the IPV-1 flew specific routes along known smuggling lanes. Their objective was to maintain the peace and order of the Empire within Imperial controlled space.
