CR90 Corvette

The Corellian Corvette (officially designated the CR90 Corvette) is the most versatile light warship in existence. Able to be modified to fit almost any mission profile, there is no end to the variation noticeable from ship to ship. Corellian Corvettes are commonly used as escorts, cargo transports, diplomatic couriers, and even frontline warships.

This diversity makes the CR90 a very popular pick among most navies. Enhancing the ship's desirability is its affordable cost and its above average speed. Smugglers and rebels have often taken advantage of the CR90's speed to run Imperial blockades, giving rise to the ship's nickname, "Blockade Runner".

Quite unfortunately, the ship's design introduces a fatal weakness. Due to the placement of the weapons turrets and the size of the ship's engine block there is a blind spot directly aft. An experienced fighter pilot can put his craft in that blind spot, and disable or destroy a corvette with ease.
