Victorian

General Vessel Information

The Crusader-class corvette was a warship in use during the Galactic Civil War. It was produced by Mandal Hypernautics and named after the ancient Mandalorian Crusaders. Made to counter starfighters and bombers, the Crusader-class corvette carried as many weapons as it could without compromising its space-worthiness. It was also faster than any other similar ship of its time. Together, these made the Crusader an extremely pricey vessel. Crusaders were also known to utilize an advanced point-defense weapon system that allowed the ships to actually shoot down enemy missiles or torpedoes before they damaged friendly ships. This made the corvettes a valuable support addition to a fleet.

History

The Victorian was purchased alongside the Pall, and with the same costly condition of secrecy. It served in the defense of Morroth, partnered with the Atrum Pars for mutual defense. The ship was destroyed early in the Yuuzhan Vong attack on the combined Brotherhood fleets at Antei, falling largely because Plagueis had not yet recognized the need to readjust its targeting scanners for organic material. Its accurate anti-starfighter batteries ended up catching the attention of the Vong, without being able to effectively repel them. There were no survivors.
