Vagari-class frigate

Vagari-class Frigate '''

History
The Vagari-class frigates were capital ships produced by the shipyards over Commenor beginning in 28 BBY. They were originally created due to increased pirate activity along the trade routes surrounding Commenor. Due to the need for rapid response the Vagari is equipped with a top of the line hyperdrive. While the majority of the early ship remained in Commenor's defense force a few were purchased by the Judical Forces for evaluation eventually becoming part of the reformed Republic Navy and others were sold to defense forces throughout the Colonies region. Some of these defense forces later joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Confederacy of Independent Systems Navy requisitioned many of these Vagaris for use in launching sneak attacks against systems near Commenor in an attempt to drive a wedge between Commenor and its neighbors.

After the war most of the Vagari class vessels belonging to the Imperial Navy were deployed to the Outer Rim Territories. At some point during the Clone Wars or shortly afterwards techs at an Outlaw Shipyard near Commenor managed to reverse engineer the design by studying a number of vessels wrecked during the war. Copies of these plans were also sold to a number of other Outlaw shipyards, including the shipyard at Starforge Station leading to the vessel becoming part of a number of pirate bands. Later the chief designer of the Vagari-class joined the localRebel Alliance sector force bringing the plans with him and the vessel became common among Rebel forces based in the Colonies.

While a successor design entered production in 6 ABY, and a successor to that design emerged in 26 ABY the Vagaris saw service throughout the Yuuzhan Vong War and a number of them were deployed both offensively and defensively by Confederation Navy forces during the Second Galactic Civil War.

However by the Sith-Imperial War it was primarily used by backwater defense forces, and corporate fleets or independent space fleets that were unable or unwilling to obtain newer vessels.

Real World background
The idea for the Vagari was born when I was bored and pondering which of my Star Wars RPG characters from a AU setting, or Star Wars Mush characters would undergo the most changes if shifted to the Legends setting. Deciding which that was didn't take too long. But realizing he was a ship designer I decided to draw up a Legends counterpart to the first ship he designed. This is actually a lot closer to my original plans for the design then the final form and due to the Clone Wars taking place much earlier in the original character's setting it is slightly more advanced
