Silent Scream is a vessel in Clan Plagueis’ Ascendant Fleet. It is a Combat Hammerhead Corvette assigned to Task Force Besh.
Structure
Bridge
The bridge of the Silent Scream is positioned at the front of the vessel. Occupying the bow of the bridge is a large viewscreen, under which a row of consoles is arranged to control the vessel. Four chairs are arranged along the consoles for the bridge crew. Behind the array of consoles is another, much smaller consoles. Behind this console is the captain’s chair. A co-captain’s chair has been installed to the port-aft side of the captain’s chair. All the chairs can swivel to allow the occupant easy access in and out of their seat. The captain’s chair in particular has been modified with a plush, deep red upholstery and golden trim.
Crew Quarters
Directly below the bridge is the captain’s quarters. A small, private room complete with refresher, desk, wardrobe, and bed. Directly above the bridge is the VIP quarters. A room often left unoccupied is reserved for when a special commander or VIP is aboard the Silent Scream. It is nearly identical to the captain’s quarters in design. Currently it sports high-class decor and luxury additions such as silk sheets and upholstered furniture. Both of these quarters are accessible via a turbolift in the rear of a bridge with the appropriate passcode.
In the middle section of the ship are the quarters for the rest of the crew. Basic bunks with a few refreshers between them to share, the crew of the Silent Scream is assured the base comforts that they need to do their jobs right. Also within the crew quarters is the kitchen. Although there is not a large eating area, there is a bar and a few stools, as well as a couple of tables provided. Droids take care of food preparation and disposal.
Other
Between the bridge and the crew quarters is the security headquarters. This is where the head of security resides and is where the marines onboard the Silent Scream are coordinated from. The headquarters, besides serving as an office for the security head, a brig, and a weapon storage facility, has a small war room. This is where boarding operations and defenses can be planned and organized and can serve as an emergency secondary bridge should the bridge become unusable.
In the aft section of the Silent Scream is the storage area. This is where most of the supplies and any cargo are held. The storage area is relatively small and cannot hold a lot, but it usually has enough room to hold at a single starfighter if desired. Below the storage area is the engine room. This is where the engineers and technicians of the Silent Scream can gain access to the ship’s engines and machinery.

Role
Primarily the Silent Scream will act as a point defense vessel for the Dominant, intercepting and eliminating hostile fighters or bombers that attempt to make attack runs on Task Force Besh’s flagship. However, it can also act independently as a skirmisher and reconnaissance vessel. It rarely functions on its own when it is expecting combat, but for non-combat missions can be used as a long-range transport or escort vessel. The role it has within the Task Force is flexible enough, however, to allow it to adapt to many different scenarios.
