Information
The Assassin-Class Modified Corvette is a well-developed design that was used in a support and screening role since the time of the Battle of Hoth. The Corvette is an extremely versatile ship capable of functioning as a troop carrier, light escort vessel, cargo transport, or passenger liner. The vessel is primarily used as a troop carrier or cargo transport and performs its duties admirably. The Corvette has been retro-fitted with heavier fins and has upgraded the shielding to the dorsal area due to higher vulnerability in this area. The vessel is fast, lethal, and capable of carrying a very small number of fighters, making her a shock attack craft to be reckoned with, as well as an able escort ship.
History
The Darkstorm was rewarded to Clan Taldryan for their efforts in the Second Great Jedi War. Originally a part of a pirate fleet that had assaulted a Brotherhood convoy, the Assassin-class Corvette was claimed as a spoil of battle when the Dark Lord Khyron ordered a full scale attack against the pirate forces. Along with the modified Dreadnaught Dark Seraphim, House Ektrosis was bestowed the Corvette for impressing the Grand Master in the attack.
Since that time, the Darkstorm has played a pivotal role in all of Taldryan's war efforts. Only recently has the aging vessel been relegated to the Homeguard fleet, which protects the Kr'Tal System from enemy Clans. The Corvette was destroyed in the chaos of the Battle of Antei.
