Class info
The Vibre-class "assault cruiser" is a very specialized ship, used exclusively for boarding other vessels. Like Silviut's shuttle design, the Svelte-class, the Vibre-class is small and vaguely beetle-shaped.
Following the cowardly Destruction of Imperial I Death Star, Imperial commerce raiders and privateers has become as big a problem for the so called "New Republic" as Rebel privateers and starfighter raids had been for the Galactic Empire. One of the most effective ships used by Imperial forces in this period is the Vibre Class Assault Cruiser, designed specifically for privateering and introduced shortly before Mon Mothma's resignations as Chief of State. The Vibre typically uses its stealth equipment to sneak within strike range of larger Rebel capital ships, then pounds the prize with ion cannons and uses cutting lasers to open the other ship's hull. A squadron of Zero-G spacetroopers is then disgorged into the larger ship. They will then within minutes take control of it.
Astronicus Reach details
The cruiser, after being awarded to Clan Naga Sadow by the Dark Council, was named in behalf of the Clan's founder - Astronicus Aurelius Sadow. The ship has been used in numerous CNS operations and since his return to the Clan, Astronicus has taken command of it - placing his long standing friend and House Naga Sadow's former Sith Commander.
