One of six [[starwars:DP20 frigate|Corellian gunships]] captured by [[Plagueis (House)|House Plagueis]] during the taking of the new [[Ascendant Fleet]], the '''''Anguish''''' has become an attack ship of the Corsair raid fleet. When outside of large engagements, it roves through both stellar and planetary battlefields, crushing fighter resistance and crippling freighters and defensive positions.

==History==
The ‘’Angst’’ was commissioned in [[10 ABY to 19 ABY|17 ABY]] by [[starwars:Corellian Engineering Corporation|CEC]] to protect freighters and shuttles in and around the [[starwars:Corellian system|Corellian system]] from pirates and raiders. Corellia, with its independent mindset, favored the use of the ship alongside three others of its likeness - the [[DP20 Despair|''Wisecrack'']], the ''Sharpshooter'', and the ''Ace''. All four ships formed an essential contingent of Corellia's defense of trade before being reassigned by the [[starwars:Galactic Alliance|Galactic Alliance's]] fleet admirals to the 108th Expeditionary Scout Fleet. There, the four ships helped to maintain civility and stood on watch against future threats.
 
All of that changed in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|36 ABY]] when the [[NSD Ascendancy|''Ascendancy'']] and her crew of Dark Jedi and slaves assaulted the fleet out of nowhere. While the ''Angst'' stood at half crew and put up a better fight than some, she and her peer ''Wisecrack'' were soon overwhelmed from within by [[Ravagers]] and their [[Subjugates|Subjugate]] peers.  Turning on the other two ships, ''Ace'' and ''Sharpshooter'', these craft tore apart their fully-manned brethren by virtue of surprise attack. Afterward, the two opposing ships were fit only to be used as spare parts, their carcasses towed aboard ''Ascendancy'' by tractor beams.
 
''Angst'' found herself renamed as ''Anguish'', while ''Wisecrack'' became known as ''Despair''. The craft would go on to serve the newly-minted [[Ascendant Fleet]] in bloody conquest.

DP20 ships held accomodations for forty-five crewmen and forty-six gunners; in Plagueian hands, both posts are occupied by [[Subjugates]]. In addition, the 120-meter craft always house a Sith, and the crews rotate outward. In the close-knit environment of such a small ship, crew members become akin to families, something that increases the possibility of Subjugate crewmen finding identities and rebelling. To combat this, the crews of the gunships are routinely cycled out or, if necessary, purged. The Sith aboard is both a measure against boarders and a safeguard against slaves; in such enclosed spaces, a [[lightsaber]] and the [[starwars:Dark Side of the Force|Dark Side]] make them more than a match for invading soldiers or a crew of lightly-armed slaves.

The Anguish was one of six Corellian gunships captured by House Plagueis during the taking of the new Ascendant Fleet. It was destroyed along with the rest of the Ascendant Fleet during an attack in 34 ABY.

Characteristics

Designed to serve more adequately as a vessel of war than its relative, the CR90, Corellian gunships had a greatly reduced amount of space for passengers, troops, or cargo. During their design phase, two words guided the shipwrights and engineers of CEC: Fast and deadly. As such, engines made up half of their available interior space, with the rest reserved for deflector shield generators and weapons systems. Because of this speed and lethality, they were ideal craft for raiders and pirate fleets, but also saw extensive use by the Rebel Alliance and were even used by local Imperial fleets.

The DP20 gunship bore a stock armament of eight double turbolaser cannons, four concussion missile tubes, and six quad laser cannons. This made the vessel useful for a number of reasons. Ideally, it was meant to destroy fighters, bombers, and other snub or shuttle craft en masse; where a capital ship's bulk made accurate strikes against such craft difficult, the gunship could pinpoint and destroy them with much greater accuracy. However, they were also capable of harrying and dealing damage to larger ships, while still being maneuverable and quick enough to evade powerful craft such as Star Destroyers. In Plagueian hands, these vessels have become central to crippling and raiding ships for supplies and slaves. DP20 ships held accommodations for forty-five crewmen and forty-six gunners; in Plagueian hands, both posts are occupied by Subjugates.
