Corellian Thunder (DP20 frigate)
The Corellian Thunder was a DP20 frigate in service to the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War.
Description
The Corellian Thunder was a DP20 frigate[2]—commonly referred to as a "Corellian gunship"—manufactured by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. Measuring 120 meters from stem to stern, the Corellian Thunder was a well armed anti-starfighter warship, boasting eight double turbolaser cannons and four concussion missile launchers for capital ship combat, and six quad laser cannons for starfighter defense. The gunship was equipped with a navigation computer, sensor package and deflector shields. Capable of achieving speeds of 1,000 kilometers an hour in atmosphere, the Corellian Thunder also had a Class 2 hyperdrive for faster-than-light travel with a slower Class 16 unit as a backup. The gunship could store 300 metric tons of cargo aboard, and had enough room to stow eight months worth of consumables.[3]
History
The Corellian Thunder served the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War, assigned to the Trax Sector Force. Around 0 ABY, it participated in the battle of Bissillirus alongside its sister ship, the Dream Runner, and the EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate Defector.[1]
