Rebel/New Republic Raider Corvette

Background

source wookieepedia

Raider Class corvettes originally came to prominence during the height the Galactic Empire as a counter to various ships like the CR90 Corvette and DP-20 frigate in use by both the Rebellion and various pirate and mercenary bands. Like other ships though a few came into the possession of the Rebel Alliance. Typically they were used as is but one particular, the Corvus, lead the way to what Rebel and later New republic new build Raider Corvettes would be like.

The Corvus herself started out as a standard Raider Class Corvette but defected to the Rebellion shortly after the Battle of Endor. It was after a particularly nasty battle in which it was heavily damaged then she was refitted and redeployed that the template of the ships going forward would be set. All previous in service raiders from then on would be brought in and refitted to the same specs and all newly built ships would be as well.

Armour - stops up to and including the equivalent of 90mm rounds

NOTES: 1 - Depleting the MDC of the main hull will put the ship out of commission. All internal systems will shut down, including life support and internal gravity.

1B - If the bridge is destroyed then control is automatically given to the main engineering section with the following penalties: -5 on all combat rolls and attacks per melee are halved.

2 - Destroying the sensor will deprive the ship of all forms of long range communications, radar and targeting. The range and targeting capabilities of the secondary systems are equal to that of a shuttlecraft at best. The ship can still operate, but is at -3 on initiative, -3 to strike, and number of attacks per melee of the weapon systems are reduced by half.

3 - Depleting the MDC of the main engine and secondary engines will leave the ship adrift in space. If in an atmosphere, the ship will crash.

4 - Shields regenerate at 100 mdc per melee. Only if a generator is damaged will the ability for shields to regenerate be hampered
