Design
Marauder-class corvettes weapons included eight double turbolaser cannons and three tractor beam projectors, and could optionally support four more turbolasers if a larger power generator was installed for a total of twelve double turbolaser cannons. They had space for 12 starfighters, and capacity for 80 troops for use in boarding actions or planetary landings. Some Marauder-class ships were equipped with four diamond-boron missile launchers.
History
Built by the profitable Sienar Technologies division of Republic Sienar Systems, a precursor to Sienar Fleet Systems, the Marauder-class was designed as a patrol and escort ship by the Galactic Republic. When the Republic declined to purchase them, mainly due to the Republic's inefficient bureaucracy and not any problems with the ship itself, Sienar managed to sell some to other small governments and organizations such as the Kathol Republic. RSS finally sold production rights to the Corporate Sector Authority to be produced and used in the Corporate Sector. The Rebel Alliance also employed a few of the ships, which were mostly acquired from the Corporate Sector through piracy and refitted into missile cruisers.
