Silent Scream is a Raider-class corvette serving as an escort vessel within the Ascendant Fleet of Clan Plagueis. Nimble, capable, and extremely well-armed for its design, the Silent Scream is a useful fast-attack vessel capable of countering both starfighters and heavier tonnage ships. One of several such ships of its class within the fleet, it has proven itself capable in both singular attack roles and working as part of a larger battle-group. It has inherited its name from a now destroyed vessel within the Ascendant Fleet.

Characteristics

Typical of its class, the Silent Scream is a sleek and heavily armed design renowned as much for its versatile nature as its ability to blunt typical starfighter tactics. Both atmosphere and void capable, the ship can easily support both ground and spaceborne battles in a number of roles. Thanks to a heavy armament of six quad laser cannon turrets, multiple light turbolasers, and four missile launchers, the vessel is a threat to almost any ship that it engages. The design makes it both a highly effective fighter platform and offers it the ability to threaten far larger vessels when operating as part of an attack group.

While protected only by average shielding and armour, its great maneuverability and speed gives the Silent Scream a noted edge in most battles. This suits its role extremely well, allowing it to rapidly reposition and redeploy when defending a fleet, and engaging in hit-and-fade raiding engagements. Requiring one-hundred-and-eleven crewmen to operate effectively, it requires a far higher number of personnel than most similar ships to operate effectively. Equally, it is only capable of hosting forty passengers, a lower number than that of similar ships within the Ascendant Fleet.

Crew

It has inherited most of its crew from its predecessor after they abandoned ship, barring the previous Captain, Yamret Ohli, who went down with the original.

Bridge Crew

Captain: Captain Kelmiri Holvin is currently the captain of the Silent Scream. A middle-aged female Human, she runs the ship with efficiency and an eye for the small details. Her years of service with the crew as the previous Operations Manager have earned her respect amongst her servicemen.

Helmsman: Senior Lieutenant Jorch Elwren acts as the Helmsman of the Silent Scream. A male human, as Helmsman he is expected to operate the navigational computer of the Silent Scream, including sublight and hyperspace travel.

Comm Officer: Lieutenant Lillux Puvv acts as the Comm Officer of the Silent Scream. A female Sullustan, the Comm Officer is in charge of outgoing and incoming communications. They also operate the sensor suit of the Silent Scream.

Combat Technician: Lieutenant Commander Potosk Thesk acts as the Combat Technician of the Silent Scream. A male Weequay, the Combat Technician operates all the weapon and shielding systems of the Silent Scream, including the ship’s targeting computer. Lt. Commander Thesk is also the First Mate of the Silent Scream.

Operations Manager: Ensign Vazohm Lah acts as the Operations Manager of the Silent Scream. A male Muun, the Operations Manager is in charge of monitoring and allocating the ship’s resources as needed. These resources include the ship’s power levels, personnel, supplies, or anything else that may be needed.

Other Personnel

Head of Security: Senior Lieutenant Bruq Oksesss is the Head of Security for the Silent Scream. A male Trandoshan, the Head of Security is in charge of any interpersonal conflicts that arise aboard the ship, repelling or arranging boarding operations, and managing the dozen or so marines that staff the Silent Scream.

Chief Engineer: Lieutenant Tomal Barcov is the Chief Engineer for the Silent Scream. A male Human, the Chief Engineer is in charge of organizing and running the ship’s engineer and technician staff and keeping the vessel in top working form.

Role

During major engagements, the Silent Scream operates as a part of a wider anti-starfighter screen along with other Raider II-class corvettes. Maintaining a close proximity to the larger cruisers, it helps to blunt attacks by groups reliant upon large waves of smaller attack craft. This leaves it working close to the fleet in a patrol or defensive pattern, while the role of recon efforts is left to other vessels.
