The Corellians are known well for their versatile multi-purpose starships. The Corellian Corvette is an excellent example and can easy function as either a troop transport, light escort, cargo or passenger carrier. Unlike most highly specialized vessels, the corvette is so easily modified to varying tasks that it is found throughout the galaxy.
As a transport ship, the Corellian Corvette has massive and highly adaptable internal holds capable of carrying anything from loads of grain and water to highly sensitive fuels. To protect this cargo, there are plenty of weapons hardpoints on the hull of the ship allowing it to support a variety of weapons types and configurations. This is one of the reasons why this craft is so popular among pirates.
As a passenger vessel, quarters can be installed of any comfort level from standard steerage to first-class. Corvettes were widely used as civilian passenger liners and colony ships. In the past 40 years, planetary colonization was made possible by the Corellian Corvette due to its versatility and the fact that colonists could not only transport themselves, but their equipment, livestock and building materials as well.
This vessel was primarily used by the Rebellion, many private corporations, pirates, and for a while the Imperial Senate. Emperor Palpatine disbanded the use of corvettes in the Senate and had them either given to the Imperial Navy or sold to private businesses. Despite the aging of this craft and the developement of newer, faster vessels, it will be quite a few decades before it is completely phased out of use. The Corellian Corvette has had an outstanding history and will continue to serve its owners for years to come. |
