The Corsair was a Derriphan-class battleship that played a major role in two galactic wars a millennium apart. A Sith vessel, the Corsair contained Force-enhancing Sith magic crystals of immense power that were able to tear out the core of a star. The Corsair was initially one of the flagships of Dark Lord of the Sith Naga Sadow's Sith invasion fleet during the Great Hyperspace War in 5000 BBY. After the war's tide turned against the Sith, Sadow used the Corsair to flee Galactic Republic space, using the power of the ship to cause solar flare activity in the star Primus Goluud as cover for the retreat to the Sith Worlds in the Outer Rim. There, the Corsair saw heavy action in two consecutive battles, the first against a group of Sith rivals and the second against pursuing Republic forces. To avoid defeat in the second battle, Sadow used the remaining ships in his fleet as a barricade and fled the scene in the Corsair. Flying through the twin stars of the Denarii Nova, Sadow used the ship's power to destroy any pursuers. He then settled with his Massassi crew on the moon Yavin 4, building the Temple of Fire around the Corsair, where it remained entombed for a millennium.
In 3997 BBY, the Corsair was discovered by Exar Kun, a newly ascended Dark Lord of the Sith. With the Corsair under his control, Kun struck up an alliance with Jedi Knight Ulic Qel-Droma to wage war against the Republic and the Jedi Order. The Corsair was the vessel that flew to the Republic capital of Coruscant and retrieved Qel-Droma after his arrest and trial for a failed attack on the planet. After the treachery of Qel-Droma's lover, Aleema Keto, was discovered following his rescue, Kun and Qel-Droma formulated a plan to rid themselves of both her and the bumbling Cathar commander Crado. Command of the Corsair was given to Keto and Crado, and they were directed to lead an attack on the space station Kemplex Nine to lure Republic forces there. After successfully drawing Republic attention, Keto used the Corsair's power to rip the core out of a star in the Cron Cluster and use it as a weapon, obliterating their enemies. However, she found herself unable to control the ship's power; a chain reaction caused a supernova in the cluster, which destroyed the Corsair, all according to Kun and Qel-Droma's plan. (Read more…)
