Local Imperial forces also utilized the class. 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. The DP20 was originally designed for the fleet of the Galactic Republic. They were equipped with Class 2 hyperdrives. Each one carried a crew of 45, along with 46 gunners.
What little room was left was used for deflector shield generators and weapons.Īrmed 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. Engines consumed nearly half of the gunship's interior space. These small ships were designed to be only two things: fast and deadly. Unlike its cousin, the CR90 corvette, the gunship had minimal cargo space and almost no space for passengers or troops.
