DP20 Light Frigate (Corellian Gunship)
A mainstay in the Post-Endor Alliance fleets, these powerful vessels can over-power ships much larger than themselves as well as engage fighter squadrons. Often working in squadrons of 3 to 6 gunships, they can even take on the powerful Star Destroyers of the Empire.
Design
The DP20 frigate, also known as the Corellian Gunship, was one of the few dedicated warship designs produced by Corellian Engineering Corporation, and was the most common member of the Corellian gunship product line. These small ships were designed to be only two things: fast and deadly. Engines consumed nearly half of the gunship's interior space. What little room was left was used for deflector shield generators and weapons.
Armed with eight double turbolaser cannons, four concussion missile tubes, and six quad laser cannons, the Corellian gunship was effective against both larger capital ships as well as starfighters, though it was primarily used against the latter.
History
The DP20 was originally designed for the fleet of the Galactic Republic.[5] These vessels saw extensive use among the Corellian and Rebel Alliance/New Republic fleets, although some were also seen in the hands of independent operators, such as pirate factions and other fringe groups.
