Strengths:

• Agile and Fast: It's faster and more maneuverable than most ships its size.
• Extreme Defense: It's defenses provided it ample protection from marauders and warships alike.

Weaknesses:

• Offensive Weakness: While it does possess some weapons, those weapons systems are purely ionic in nature, meaning they could disable enemies, but wouldn't likely kill them.
• Easily Recognizable: There is no hiding what the ship is, at least once the Jedi start formally using it. It reads plainly by IFF and design as being a Jedi transport, which can very easily make it a target for opportunistic foes.

Description: In light of the Jedi Order's intent to be a peaceful mediator in the galaxy and not engage in activities with the intent to cause harm, it has become somewhat necessary for them to possess some form of Consular vessel similar to what the old Jedi Order of the pre-civil war era would have used to send their Jedi to worlds in crisis. Because of this need, the Jade-class was born. The ship serves as not just a means of conveying Jedi to where they are needed, but as a medical facility and transport vessel for goods and supplies that might be necessary to help stabilize situations or respond rapidly to post-battle situations. The ship presents itself as no threat, but is lightly armed with a few ion cannons in case it should come under attack by some sort of foe or other. The ship possesses enough rooms for several Jedi to use it to deploy if need be, or to ferry personnel that might need to be evacuated, or even to carry in non-Jedi medical staff for crisis and trauma relief. The Jade-class is meant to be an all around useful vessel for the Jedi Order, and never meant to be a means to wage battle.

No Hangar: While most ships its size would have a hangar at least capable of holding a couple of fighters, this ship does not possess such capabilities.

Having 0 hangars is actually Average for a corvette, average ratings don't merit a weakness. Please replace this weakness with a different one.

It might be average for some corvettes but this is a high end length, and many of the larger corvettes possessed either a hangar or external rack for fighter craft. Bail Organa's corvette in Episode 3 had a hangar for example.

Either way I removed it and couldn't really come up with anything better than it being easily recognizable, which could make it a target.
