Project: Restoration began with the mysterious disappearance of several key figures within the command hierarchy of the Core Imperial Confederation, an act that left their entire interstellar government in disarray. To those that believed in the cause, it was a devastating and drastic change that eventually led towards the dissolution of their military branch. Whatever armed forces remained, after the petty warlords took hold of their armadas, found themselves adrift with naught the Crew (s) or will to give their vessel's flight. Thus, they had nowhere to turn too. However, the technical architects within the Republic Engineering Corporation believed that it would be a waste of all that war material to be left behind - and up for grabs. Therefore, they embarked on a new venture, in tandem with the Thyrsian Hierarchy, that would see the striking designs absorbed and subsequently repurposed.
The first of these schematics was a Corvette that bore a striking resemblance to the ancient Consular Cruisers of the Ancient Republic era; during the rise of the First Galactic Empire under Palpatine. While initially a diplomatic ship, the Consular was retrofitted into a warship to fill the needs of the Republic's Navy, which was sorely lacking a dedicated anti-starfighter platform at the outset of the Clone Wars. Because of the enemy the Republic faced, they were able to utilize a heavier armament to chew through the vast swarms of enemy fighters that were allegedly thrown their way. However, due to modern advancements, the ancient Charger c70 Retrofitting would've made for a poor anti-starfighter platform.
Thus, Republic Engineering Corporation saw fit to do away with the heavy armament and focus on the vessel's speed and maneuverability. With both factors in play, the warship would be able to keep enemy starfighters within range of their dedicated array of weapons, consistently applying pressure and racking up the kill count all the while.
With their new array of weapons, the former Consular vessel found itself subjected to the standard practices of the Coruscanti-based Shipwright. The warship was then outfitted with a slaved network of sentient droid brains, and automated processes that made the starship significantly much more accessible to Crew; as the menial tasks were compartmentalized and entirely streamlined. With the smaller personnel count, the aptly named "Avalon" would be easily obtained and maintained by planetary defence forces outside of large-scale military operations, or mercenary organizations. It goes without saying that should the Corvette find itself in the hands of a large-scale military or mercenary outfit - it would be little issue to dedicate personnel to the command deck, leaving more hands-free to operate elsewhere.
So, with the "Avalon" being the first of Project: Restoration - Republic Engineering Corporation sought to invoke and reinvigorate the ancient heroism brought forth by the military might of the Grand Army of the Republic. Perhaps, through their philanthropic deeds, Hope would be restored to a benighted Galaxy.
MODIFICATION SUMMARY:
- Updated the Submission to match 5.1 Factory standards.
- Updated Speed rating to account for a lack of Moderate.
- Added Automated Repair Drones.
