The Pride of Owyhyee is a Assassin-class corvette commissioned by the Galactic Empire in 3 BBY and completed by Corellian Engineering Corporation in 1 ABY. The vessel was acquired by the Anzat mercenary group Alpha's Omega in 14 ABY from a corrupt Imperial Remnant Admiral. The mercenary group used the vessel until it was "liberated" by the Knights of Allusis in 37 ABY following the Battle of Purity Rock.

Characteristics

Original Schematic

The Pride of Owyhyee is a modified Assassin-class corvette originally used as a system patrol craft by the Galactic Empire. The The Pride of Owyhyee was heavily modified by Alpha's Omega after the group acquired the vessel from the Imperial Remnant under questionable circumstances. The group added secondary and tertiary sensor arrays to enhance it's scouting capabilities and spot enemies from greater distances. The vessel's shield generators were upgraded and the hull was reinforced to improve survivability in combat and a second tractor beam projector was added to better trap the vessel's quarry.

The interior of the vessel was heavily modified by Alpha's Omega to support the group's mercenary activities. Sensor shielded cargo compartments were added for smuggling, a sizable brig was installed to hold captives and the ship's conference room was upgraded with state of art holoprojectors and communications equipment for mission briefings. The rest of the vessel was left in it's original condition, including the stock blue paint job, to allow the The Pride of Owyhyee to blend into system traffic or pose as a patrol vessel when needed.

Capabilities

The CR92a Assassin Class is the more militarized successor to the ubiquitous CR90 Corellian Corvette. The Assassin class, like its predecessor, has an excellent array of sensors which give the ship an edge during patrols or scouting missions. The Assassin Class design maintains the standard compliment of Turbolasers though it adds a photon torpedo launcher and a tractor beam projector to the arsenal. The tractor beam can be effective at stalling or hindering the escape of fighters and even small freighters. Assassin Class corvettes also boast stronger hull and shield ratings than their CR-90 counterparts. Another addition to the Assassin class is the inclusion of a docking bay. The docking bay is capable of holding multiple starships, depending on their sizes, which allows the ship to be used as a small carrier should the mission dictate. These upgrades allow the Assassin class to be far more effective in combat while maintaining the CR-90's versatility.

History

Service in the Empire

The Pride of Owyhyee docked

The Pride of Owyhyee was originally commissioned by the Galactic Empire in 3 BBY and completed by Corellian Engineering Corporation in 1 ABY. The Empire christened the vessel Emperor's Cutlass and placed the vessel into service as a patrol vessel in the Anzat sector. The Emperor's Cutlass remained stationed in the Anzat sector until the entire sector was absorbed by the remnant faction Greater Maldrood after Emperor Palatine's death in 4 ABY. The warlord and former High Admiral Treuten Teradoc ordered the ship's name be changed to Cutlass.

While still in service of Warlord Terdoc's Greater Malrood, Cutlass saw action in minor skirmishes against other Imperial Remnant factions and New Republic forces. Following Terdoc's assassination at the hands of Imperial Admiral Natasi Daala in 13 ABY, Greater Malrood was in a state of chaos as the former warlord's assets were folded into the new United Warlord Fleets. During the confusion a unscrupulous former subordinate of Teradoc sold the Cutless to Thett Omega for personal profit before destroying all records of the transaction and fleeing to Republic space.

Alpha's Omega

Having acquired the Cutlass at a substantial discount, Thett Omega set about contracting the various modifications that would make the vessel more suitable for Alpha's Omega operations. Once all the modifications were complete the vessel was re-christened Omega's Cutlass and entered into the organization's small fleet. While it was the Omega's Cutlass, the vessel remained in constant use by Alpha's Omega for a variety of missions and support roles. Most notably the vessel was used in raids on civilian shipping, kidnapping operations, infiltration, and as a support/command vessel for ground operations.

Knights of Allusis

The Pride of Owyhyee Unit Patch

The vessel was "liberated" by the Knights of Allusis during the battle team's escape from the Purity Rock detention facility. The vessel was re-named The Pride of Owyhyee and integrated into the Tythonian Space Militia of the Kotahitanga-Unity Defense Force. The Pride of Owyhyee is currently attached to the Knights of Allusis as a command and support vessel for the strike team.
