ADVANCED SYSTEMS

STRENGTHS

• Brawler: Compared to the CR125 Corvette, the CR125B is far more effective against capital ships thanks to its turbolaser turrets and proton torpedo launcher.
• Carrier: The CR125B carries a small complement of starfighters into battle.
• Field of fire: The positioning of the CR125B's weapons allows the vessel to combat multiple targets simultaneously.
• Heavy armor: Compared to the CR90, the CR125B is more heavily armored.

WEAKNESSES

• Trench Run disease: Compared to the base CR125 and the CR125A, the CR125B is far less effective against enemy starfighters.
• Broadside: The positioning of the CR125B's weapons makes the vessel most effective when engaging targets from the side. Anything in front or behind the CR125B can attack the corvette without having to deal with most of its weapon systems.
• Vulnerable hangar: The hangar on the CR125B is rather prominent, making it an enticing target for enemy ships.
• Slower: Compared to the CR90, the CR125B is slower to move and slower to turn.

DESCRIPTION

The Battle of Brosi and the naval exercises above Umbara have revealed key deficiencies in Mahporeem Naval Doctrine, namely, usage of the Imperial Remnant's CR125 Corvettes. To rectify this problem, the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant has begun development on new variants of the CR125 that better suit the needs of the current Imperial Remnant.

The original CR125 Corvette saw the removal of its turbolasers in favor of heavy laser cannons, making the vessel effective against combating enemy starfighters while still retaining a modicum of usefulness against capital ships. However, the corvettes often struggled in prolonged combat against similarly sized ships and were downright useless against larger vessels, necessitating the creation of the CR125B Corvette.

The reinstallation of turbolaser turrets and the addition of a proton torpedo launcher makes the CR125B far more dangerous against capital ships, especially when utilized in large numbers. However, this means that the CR125B is now far less effective against enemy starfighters, forcing the vessel to rely on its own starfighter compliment to combat enemy starfighter attacks.
