Saviour (Defender-class corvette)

"For a three-thousand year old ship which crashed in the desert, it does feel quite... cozy."

- Phoenix commenting on the Saviour's interior.

GRC-475, callsign 'Saviour' was a Defender-class corvette restored and repaired by Jedi Master Jeden Vesal during the Clone Wars. Originally serving as a mobile base of operations for a Jedi scout just before the Great Galactic War, the scout landed on Korriban to investigate a Sith base, never to return. The ship remained in the desert for the next three-thousand or so years, beating back the dust storms and wild creatures that Korriban threw at it.

History
The corvette was, like the rest of it's make, used by Jedi during the Great Galactic War, the Cold War and the Galactic War some time between 3682 BBY and 3642 BBY. Used by an anomynous Jedi scout before the first conflict of the era between the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic, the scout landed on a flat plateau on Korriban, the Sith homeworld, before going off to find information regarding Sith lore. The scout never returned, and so the ship was abandoned on Korriban. Eventually, it ran out of power and fuel, and so sat dormant on the planet. Despite it's lengthy stay, the ship was sealed shut by the Jedi, and so the interior was clean and preserved.

Milennia later, Korriban was inhabited by the Grand Sith Order, a group of Sith who wished to use the chaos of the Clone Wars as a chance to kill the true Sith (Darth Sidious and his apprentices) and the Jedi. When Jeden Vesal, a Jedi Master, and his squad of Clones landed on the planet, Jeden found the corvette. Unlocking the ship. he found that the ship was completely preserved, even finding the holorecording of a protocol droid who had descended in to madness as his power depleted over time.

When Jeden and his squad, named Nightingale Squad, returned to the Phantom, Jeden's personal Venator-class cruiser, they towed the ship through space with them, and were able to get it in to the cruiser's hangar. Jeden decided that because the ship was still as fast and as powerful as other ships of it's type, it would be a wise idea to repair the ship, making it in to a portable HQ for Nightingale Squad.

For the rest of the Clone Wars, the newly christened Saviour would become the home of Jeden, his four squad members (Phoenix, Wraith, Twenty and Sting) and Jeden's padawan, Koses Lik-Har.

Layout and tech
The Saviour was a standard Defender-class corvette. The ship was entered via a ramp and door hatch just under the cockpit, with the stairs leading inside the ship pointing opppsite the cockpit. The ship contained a meeting room with an intercom, meditation chambers and sleeping quarters for two Jedi and sleeping quarters for a maximum of five people elsewhere. The ship's engines were maintained by an astromech droid named R9-S1, who also controlled the gun's weapons during combat.

The ship had four turbolaser cannons, two on each end of the front hull of the ship (Jeden later had a rotating auto-turret placed on the top of the ship and another just fitting on the bottom). The ship had two high-power thrusters for engines, a very quick hyperdrive and also carried missiles for dogfighting. Due to it's heavy shielding but lightweight design, the ship was expertly built for space combat, and was sometimes used as a bomber, as it was possible to replace the missiles with bombs.
