Vigil-class Star Corvette

Last crawled date: 1 year, 9 months ago

The Vigil-class Star Corvette is a small warship in use by the Galactic Empire. Manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards, the Vigil-class is the smallest vessel of the iconic Star Destroyer line, despite being slightly larger than either of the Bayonet-class light cruisers. It featured many of the design aspects from the true destroyer design. One notable exception is that the command deck is sat flush with the hull to the aft over the main engines, giving the Vigil-class a smaller silhouette and better protection than a tall and exposed command tower. For its primary armament, the Vigil-class is true to its destroyer origins, carrying a trio of turret mounted dual heavy turbolaser turrets on the dorsal hull that give it an exceedingly heavy punch for its class. Further supplementing its armament are a trio of lighter turbolaser turrets, along with smaller anti-starfighter laser cannons. Because of this, they rarely serve in the line of battle with larger types of star destroyers. Instead they patrol trade routes, escort cruisers as picket ships, serve as battlegroup leaders for small backwater fleets, operate as lone cruisers hunting pirates and smugglers, and generally serve where a larger destroyer would be deemed excessive or wasteful.
