But those guns can find use all the time, while a hypothetical Aiwha-II would rarely get to use its weapons. Now the Aiwha does have alpha power (relative to its class), because MTL is pretty damn dangerous to anything short of a frigate. Better then to spend it on “ship” – less alpha power, but usable everywhere. On the defense they may never be in a situation to properly use their main battery, which is a waste of money. A warhead carrier is pretty much only good for fixed battles – at all other times they are at best saddled with mass they won’t use (because who uses a multi-hundred teraton anti-capital warhead on a blockade runner?), and at worst an explosion hazard. So the relative value of “ship” money vs “warhead” money is different.

But the Imperial Navy has to be ready everywhere. Why? Rebels fight on ground of their choosing (if they’re at all smart) – at that point, having missiles is great. But in Imperial service, I think they’d be limited. It was also used by the Rebels in hit-and-fade operations and by several groups as a transport for high-priority cargo and personnel.Missiles are good for amplifying power. The Assassin-class was used alongside the CR90 in system patrol squadrons to repel pirates and Rebel attacks on convoys and space stations. This page lists available add-ons and resources for the Star Wars movie, including x-wing fighters, the millenium falcon, imperial shuttle, star destroyer, death star, tie fighter, and much more. It is a place for the Celestia community to catalog, publish and maintain Celestia resources.

Much of its cargo space has also been sacrificed so that it may carry up to four starfighters into battle. The Celestia Motherlode is a site based on Celestia, a free, 3-D, real-time space simulator.


Though it shared a similar 4-3-4 engine layout, it had eight large outer engines and three small inner engines as opposed to the CR90's eleven nearly identical engines. In addition to a stronger hull, the Assassin had more resilient shields and heavier firepower. The Assassin-class Corvette, better known as the Modified Corvette, was a small warship first produced some time before the Battle of Hoth and used primarily by the Imperial Navy.ĭesigned as a more militarized successor to the famous CR90 Corellian Corvette, the Assassin-class shared the familiar "hammerhead" styling, but it was more streamlined for greater hull strength.
