Corona-Class Frigate
Ship Class: Line Frigate
Ship Role: Reconnassaince/Close Line Fire Support/Anti-Starfighter Screening
Ship Length: 275 meters
Agility (A): 3
Defensive (D): 3
Offensive (O): 3
Speed (S): 4
Special Gear: 2 (Hangar Space, Troop Capacity)
Designed by Kuat Drive Yards, the Corona-class frigate was patterned after the EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate, which had been a successful design for the company. The basic configuration of the Corona-class resembled the layout of the Nebulon-B, with a forward section connected to the drive unit by a central spar. The fore section extended down from the main body of the frigate, while the central spar had been thickened from the original Nebulon-B design to provide extra protection. The drive unit housed the main engines, with a stabilizing fin extending from the lower part of the section on either side. Corona-class vessels required 782 crew members to operate, as well as fifty-six gunners; however, the frigate could be manned by a skeleton crew of 281. The ships also carried a complement of eighty soldiers. Corona-class vessels could carry 4,000 metric tons of cargo, with enough provisions to last one year before resupply. The Corona-class was armed with ten turbolaser cannons and ten laser cannons for offense, as well as four ion cannons to disable enemy vessels and two tractor beam projectors. The shield generators on the frigate produced the same amount of protection as those on the Nebulon-B, but it had a stronger hull, allowing it to take more punishment in combat. The Corona-class incorporated a Class One hyperdrive unit, which was an improvement over the Class Two hyperdrive on the Nebulon-B. Three squadrons—thirty-six starfighters—could be deployed aboard the Corona-class, compared to the two squadrons carried on a Nebulon-B frigate, although not all line units carried a full complement, and some were only equipped with short-range fighters.
