Assassin-class corvette

The Assassin-class corvette was a model of light patrol ship utilized by the Storm Commando wing of the Astragon Navy.

Characteristics
The Assassin was a heavily modified CR90 corvette, another patrol ship also used by Astragon. It is more streamlined and heavily armed, and it is slightly faster than the CR90. However, unlike the CR90, it could not carry any starfighters.

The ship was armed with six dual turbolaser turrets, two quad laser cannons, and a proton torpedo launcher with ten shots. A group of such ships numbering about twelve could take on a Star Destroyer and win. Hoever, without fighter support, the ship is left vulnerable to being outflanked; this is why the CR90 has not been phased out yet.

The Assassin has eight large engines and three small ones, alone with a class 2 hyperdrive.
