- Like all products of Byblos Star Drives, the BSD-SI Corona Class Frigate comes equipped with a Hypermatter Annihilator System, allowing it to create an enormous amount of power for its various systems and sub-systems which means it can operate for far longer than normal combat frigates of the same classification currently in operation across the galaxy.
- Formidable Vessel
- The BSD-SI Corona Class Frigate is quite the formidable vessel coming standard equipped with several weapon batteries to defend itself with, such as 10 turbolaser cannons and 4 ion cannons to penetrate through sub-standard shielding. Additionally - it also comes with a considerably large hanger for its class able to house up to three squadrons of starfighters and one squadron of support vessels making it ideal for supporting planetary defense operations.
- Mass-Production Model
- Like many products produced by Byblos Star Drives, the BSD-SI Corona Class Frigate is a mass production model meaning that parts and repair kits are easy enough to come by on the open-market. This gives it a cutting edge against the other personalized transport models of the same classification currently in use as each vessel lost in combat can be easily replaceable.
- Low Maneuverability
- In order to make room for additional armaments and hanger space across the Frigate Model, Byblos Star Drives had to drop some of the maneuverability standards common place amongst their products. While this does not seriously affect the Frigate's combat ability against other vessels of the same classification it does raise the risk of heavier firepower from cruisers reaching its hull with a well placed blast.
- Low Speed
- The size of the Frigate model happens to decrease the overall speed across the board, making the SI-Corona Class Frigate unable to catch up with faster vessels currently in operation across the galaxy such as corvettes and starfighter craft. While normally this would not pose a problem it does raise the risk of being outmaneuvered on the battlefield; leaving the engines exposed.
The BSD-SI Corona Class Frigate stands as a remarkable evolution of the original Corona Class Frigate, meticulously crafted by the New Republic countless centuries ago. However, it has undergone extensive modernization to adapt to the ever-changing nature of today's tumultuous battlefields.
As the galactic governments relentlessly clash over limited resources, Byblos Star Drives seized the opportunity to explore the planetary defense market and create a versatile frigate that serves multiple purposes. This remarkable vessel can function as a starfighter carrier and also as the primary attack frigate at the forefront of battles.
This state-of-the-art ship is outfitted with top-notch weaponry specifically designed to take on the most formidable opponents, such as pirate cruisers and customized patrol frigates that frequently patrol the Galactic Trade Lanes while the rest of the galaxy is embroiled in intense warfare.
Moreover, the Corona Class boasts a spacious hangar capable of accommodating three squadrons of starfighters and one squadron of support craft, making it a valuable secondary carrier in any fleet formation during battles.
One cannot overlook the significant drawbacks of this vessel, primarily its limited maneuverability and sluggish speed. These shortcomings render it susceptible to being outmaneuvered on the battlefield, especially by a skilled tactician.
