STRENGTHS

• Overwhelming firepower: Many of the weapon systems installed aboard the CR125U Corvette are exceptionally powerful, giving the ship a surprisingly high amount of firepower in a relatively small design
• Heavy armor: The CR125U's upgraded armor gives the vessel considerably more staying power when compared to its predecessors
• Carrier: Each CR125U Corvette is capable of transporting up to 8 starfighters into combat, giving the ship a considerable amount of flexibility
• All rounder: The Assault Laser Cannons installed onboard the CR125U Corvette are capable of easily tracking fast moving starfighters and destroying more heavily armored capital ships
• Performance enhancement: The CR125U is capable of temporarily boosting its speed and maneuverability thanks to its onboard systems
• Reliability: All CR125U Corvettes are highly reliable, being unlikely to malfunction or breakdown

WEAKNESSES

• Limited weapon slots: One of the biggest drawbacks of the CR125U is its limited number of weapon slots, forcing the ship to rely on the power of each individual weapon rather than sheer numbers of weapons themselves
• Short range: Though immensely powerful, the CR125U's Assault Laser Cannons possess a short effective range, forcing the ship to get up close and personal with its targets
• Broadside: The way that the CR125U is designed means that it is most effective when engaging targets in a broadside, though its "Can-Opener" Rotary Laser Cannon and Assault Concussion Missile Launcher can only engage front facing targets
• Large: The CR125U straddles the line between corvette and frigate, being rather large for a ship of its class
• Vulnerable: The CR125U's hangar is especially vulnerable to being targeted by enemy fire

DESCRIPTION

Though it once represented the pinnacle of Mahporeenian naval design, the CR125 Corvette proved to be hopelessly outdated by 902 A.B.Y, and all Mahporeenian attempts to upgrade the vessel had resulted in failure, leaving the CR125A and CR125B variants of the ship to fade away into obscurity. Coupled with the fact that the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant was slowly replacing these ships with Loki-Class Fast Corvettes, their was a very real possibly that the CR125 line would be retired once and for all from Mahporeenian service.

However, that changed upon meeting Bido Roz’lyn , who made a deal with the Imperial Remnant in order to save the production of the ship. In exchange for selling half of the remaining CR125 Corvette hulls to her faction, the Dornean would provide Mahporeem access to a number of technologies that would allow the ship to compete with more modern designs. Eager to keep the size of their navy as large as possible, Mahporeem readily agreed, creating the CR125U Corvette.

The main changes given to the CR125U involved revamping its armament. The standard laser cannons installed aboard the vessel were replaced with Assault Laser Cannon variants, which were powerful enough to rival turbolasers at the cost of reduced range. When supplied with Dornean Plasma, these cannons are capable of punching through Star Destroyer sized vessels while still being able to quickly track and acquire more nimble starfighters. The ship's F-9 Heavy Ion Cannon was replaced with a Can-Opener" Rotary Laser Cannon, while a single Assault Concussion Missile Launcher was installed on the ship, an ordinance launcher usually seen on far larger Battlecruisers. Finally, a single Space Mine Ejector was added in between the ship's Hoersch-Kessel Ion Drive Engines.

For a vessel of its size, the CR125U is surprisingly destructive, able to effectively counter starfighters, support craft and even capital ships with its varied and powerful armament. Of course, the CR125U does suffer against larger, more heavily armed and armored ships than itself but is more than capable of holding its own regardless of what might be thrown against it.
