DESCRIPTION
The Corellian C70s started life as the well-recognized Corellian Consular-class Cruisers, which were used heavily by the Galactic Republic before the outbreak of the Clone Wars as diplomatic and general purpose transport vessels. The original Consular-Class boasted little in the way of weaponry, only supporting two light laser turrets for defense against unsavory types. With the outbreak of the Clone Wars, this changed. After the first battle of Geonosis the Republic Navy sought to rapidly increase the number of fighting ships available, ordering the construction of numerous Venator-class Destroyers, Acclamator-class Assault Ships, and Arquitens-class Corvettes. It was discovered, however, that Consular-class Cruisers could be retrofit with heavier weaponry much faster than new ships could be built from scratch, so the Republic had most of their fleet of Consulars retrofit into the Corellian C70 Corvettes.The C70s saw heavy use at the beginning of, and throughout much of the Clone Wars. Slowly but surely, however, the Arquitens-class corvettes began to edge their way in and the C70s saw less and less use on the front lines. When the clone wars finally ended, the First Galactic Empire requisitioned much of the former Republic Navy, including the fleet of C70 corvettes. The Imperial Navy chose the Arquitens-class to be the primary corvette model for military use, and ceased production of the Consular-class and C70 Corvettes. The remaining C70s saw service in the Imperial Navy for a time, but as they aged and were replaced by newer Arquitens-Class, most were sold off to the corporate sector or retired for dismantling. Corellian C70s are an uncommon sight these days, but not unheard of in various corners of the galaxy.
LEGALITY
Restricted. Corellian C70 corvettes are uncommon, and are considered capital warships, generally making them illegal for civilian ownership.INTENT
To recreate one of my all-time favorite star wars ships for use on SWRP for my own enjoyment and to share that enjoyment with others! Also to create a cannon, open-market corvette for smaller, non-main groups and organizations to acquire if they so choose.RESTRICTIONS
Corellian C70s are capital ships with heavy weapons, and capital ships cannot be owned or operated by individual characters. They may be acquired as a faction asset, or may be owned in common by at least 3 individual characters who work together regularly.
