Interestingly, the CR90 could be piloted by as few as two people, as shown when Han Solo and Chewbacca flew a series of corvettes bearing the name Jaina's Light, or even one person if necessary via a steering yoke, as Wedge Antilles demonstrated when he flew the modified corvette Night Caller. The standard crew was made up of 8 officers and 38 enlisted crew, but could range from 30 to 165 total, depending on its configuration. However, its class 2 hyperdrive was slow compared to many ships of similar size. The ship was capable of sustaining acceleration up to 2,100 G and could carry 600 passengers. Ī CR90 corvette travels in formation with two GR-75 medium transports. A similar armament was mounted on the CR92a Assassin-class corvette, a successor of the CR90 that was designed exclusively for combat roles. Ī common configuration for combat-oriented corvettes consisted of six H9 dual turbolasers. Under the standard configuration, these turrets were unable to hit anything directly behind the corvette's engines, so CR90 corvettes featured a well-known axial blind spot. CR90 corvettes could carry as many as eight turbolasers, six laser cannons, and four ion cannons.
The weapon systems varied, although the standard configuration mounted two Taim & Bak H9 dual turbolasers and four single turbolasers. One of the rarer variants could carry starfighters, such as the Night Caller and Constrictor. Its ease of modification was a trademark of CEC and increased the corvette's resale value.
Ĭommon configurations included a troop carrier, light escort vessel, cargo transport, or passenger liner. Some older model corvettes, like the CR70, could easily be upgraded with retrofit packages like the Vanguard c20 to become CR90s. The interior of the CR90 featured a modular design to allow for easy reconfiguration of the Corellian corvette from one function to another. A versatile starship, the CR90 was used extensively across the galaxy by governments and private interests.
