Also known as the CR-90a Corvette, the Assassin-class is a more modernized military upgrade for the CR90 Series. They were mostly used by Imperial commanders in patrol and anti-pirate roles. A limited number have fallen into Alliance hands, where they have been very useful in raiding the Imperial supply lines.
