| ==Class info==
| |
| The ''Vibre''-class "assault cruiser" is a very specialized ship, used exclusively for boarding other vessels. Like Silviut's shuttle design, the Svelte-class, the Vibre-class is small and vaguely beetle-shaped.
| |
| | |
| Following the cowardly destruction of Imperial I Death Star, Imperial commerce raiders and privateers has become as big a problem for the so-called "New Republic" as Rebel privateers and starfighter raids had been for the [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Galactic Empire]]. One of the most effective ships used by Imperial forces in this period is the ''Vibre''-class Assault Cruiser, designed specifically for privateering and introduced shortly before Mon Mothma's resignations as Chief of State.

| |
| The Vibre typically uses its stealth equipment to sneak within strike range of larger Rebel capital ships, then pounds the prize with ion cannons and uses cutting lasers to open the other ship's hull. A squadron of Zero-G spacetroopers is then disgorged into the larger ship. They will then within minutes take control of it.

| The ''Reach'' has been modified to accommodate a small shuttle of identical design called a ''Viper''-class Assault Shuttle. Astronicus had the Silviut Corporation build it specifically for Clan Naga Sadow. It can carry up to twelve passengers in addition to its pilot and co-pilot.
