General Vessel Information
The Assassin-class corvette, better known as the modified corvette, was a small warship first produced some time before the Battle of Hoth and used primarily by the Imperial Navy. Designed as a more militarized successor to the famous CR90 corvette, the Assassin-class shared the familiar "hammerhead" styling, but it was more streamlined for greater hull strength. In addition to a stronger hull, the Assassin had more resilient shields and heavier firepower. Though it shared a similar 4-3-4 engine layout, it had eight large outer engines and three small inner engines as opposed to the CR90's eleven nearly identical engines.
History
Scylla, originally Malevolent, shared much the same origin and operational role as the Hell’s Iris, with the exception of the Imperial middleman. Clan Satal Keto purchased it newly built from a corporate stockyard under the guise of an independent security firm. Before Independence and the appropriation of the cruiser Vengeance it served as the flagship of a much weaker Ketoan fleet.
With the annexation of Jusadih it was made part of the planetary defenses of Shintera. Here it would serve for several years, until the arrival of the Vong. The ship mounted a spirited defense against the invaders, but was rapidly overwhelmed. When enemy boarders had finished rounding up the few token Jedi present, the remaining crewmen were summarily executed for their defiance. In an act of spite for all things technological, the nearest warship focused its dovin basals on the derelict, forcing it into a rapidly decaying orbit. The corvette plummeted into the Shinteran capital, acting as an ancillary to the Vong bombardment, killing hundreds.
