Description
The Corsair, a Derriphan-class battleship, was a well-armored capital ship that could take a large amount of damage even though it lacked shielding. Its heavy armor allowed the ship to concentrate its fire on individual enemy ships, although its small complement of six starfighters forced it to rely on its point-defense weapons for most of its anti-fighter protection. The Corsair required a crew of only 25, but could hold up to 850 passengers, 5,000 tons of cargo, and 1 year's worth of consumables. Able to contain two shuttles alongside six starfighters, the battleship was armed with a battery of point-defense laser cannons and a battery of heavy concussion missile launchers, which each had a payload of 60 missiles.

History
The Corsair was one of the battleships that served Dark Lord of the Sith Naga Sadow during his rule over the Sith Empire in a secluded region of the Outer Rim, around 5,000 BBY. However, the Corsair was different than the other Derriphan-class warships employed by the Sith during that time, as it was equipped with powerful Sith magic crystals that were powerful enough to wrench out the heart of a star. That year, due to the arrival of two explorers from the Galactic Republic, siblings Gav and Jori Daragon, the expansionist Dark Lord learned the location of Republic space, and began preparations to invade. The Corsair was selected as one of the main flagships of Sadow's invasion fleet. After amassing a sizable force, the Sith armada jumped through hyperspace and began their attack on the Republic. But toward the end of the war, Gav Daragon, who by that time had become one of Sadow's highest-ranking generals, started to doubt if he was doing the right thing by serving the Sith. And after an encounter with his sister Jori during a battle at their home planet Koros Major, Gav decided to rebel against the Dark Lord. Daragon confronted Sadow at the star Primus Goluud, where Sadow was sequestered while he commanded the war effort, and fired upon his Sith Meditation Sphere. However, the ever-devious Sadow tricked Daragon into meeting him face-to-face on the Sith craft, but by the time he reached the Meditation Sphere, Sadow had escaped. A Republic fleet soon arrived on the scene; when Gav offered to help them battle the Dark Lord, Sadow recalled what was left of his forces and returned to Primus Goluud in the Corsair. A brief skirmish ensued between the two sides, a battle that ended when Sadow used the power of the Corsair to trigger solar flares in the star Primus Goluud, killing Gav Daragon and covering the Sith retreat back to their worlds.
