- EMP/Ion - The Parabrite/Dunalmite alloy paired with the Kirishima Cap Drains makes this vessel highly resistant to the effects of either energy, allowing it to shrug off attempts to shut down systems inside the ship and even transferring the energy to shield power.
- Stealth Polymer - During the process of construction, the materials were doped with HPI's stealth polymer, and while the surface of the ship is still highly reflective, run of the mill scanners notably have difficulty picking up these ships at times.
- Hull Integrity - The Ossis II framework gives the ship an incredible amount of integrity in regard to kinetic resistance such as ramming or even direct kinetic hits.
- Enhanced Scanning - The vessel comes with an additional modification in the form of a repurposed set of warhead launchers with the sole purpose of deploying sensor beacons to aid in information gathering and targeting telemetry for itself and their allies.
- Variables - While the ship benefits from the VOId systems, in combat situations a direct strike to the engines will potentially damage the adjustable systems and either lock them into that system, or disable the unit.
- Not Impossible - While the stealth polymer helps to avoid being found by passive scans or run of mill scanning systems, higher end scanner systems are able to find the ship with ease.
- Built In - While the Ossis II frame provides many benefits, in field repairs are highly difficult due to the complexity of the internal framework.
- Belly Up - The ship has a single heavy weapons emplacement and ion cannon systems meant to disable or take out a vessel at range, though both have a limited firing arc that requires the vessel being engaged to either be directly in front of, or above the belly level of the ship to the front or rear.
- Limited Weapons - The ship does have some offensive weapons on board, but it was designed around anti-starfighter and anti-ordinance protocols and has limited capabilities in a fight.
The Cresh-class Longbeam Light Capital Corvette is a compact command-and-control warship developed for sector patrol leadership and rapid stabilization response. Its design traces ancestry to the Longbeam escorts of earlier navies, retaining the iconic forward-weighted profile and elongated ventral hull lines, but scaled to operate independently for extended durations along frontier hyperlanes where piracy, trade disputes, and planetary crises could emerge without warning.
While visually elegant, the hull structure is reinforced internally with lightweight honeycomb support lattices and external armor plating finished in a soft iridescent silver with minimal royal red and warm gold line-marking, consistent with Naboo’s naval aesthetic doctrine of defense without intimidation.
This class often leads multi-ship patrol groups, hosts sector command detachments, and coordinates starfighters and cutters assigned to local defense networks.
Standard Crew Complement consists of around 145 officers, pilots, engineers, medical staff, and support personnel. The ship comes with a troop/passenger capacity standard of 95 troops for rapid deployment or defensive garrison reinforcement with a humanitarian evacuation capacity of up to 160 evacuees in temporary boarding configuration given notice to make changes. The Cresh-class also is capable of light vehicle transport of 4–6 light repulsor APCs or utility transports in a recessed internal cargo hold connected to a mid-ships vehicle deployment ramp.
Pilots describe the Cresh-class as a ship that prefers smooth hands over forceful inputs. The variable-output ion-drives offer a uniquely layered sense of propulsion, where acceleration feels gradual and composed rather than sudden. The ship responds best when the pilot treats it as a vessel meant to glide rather than lunge, and experienced helmsmen learn to shape maneuvers like flowing arcs instead of sharp angles.
In formation or sector patrol, the ship feels patient and steady, maintaining velocity without constant adjustment, ideal for command staff coordinating multiple units. During combat, the Cresh-class maintains tighter control authority than most light capitals of similar displacement, especially in lateral drift corrections, giving it a reputation for surprising agility when under pressure.
Atmospheric operation is functional but dignified. It moves through air with weight and presence rather than speed, like a stately maritime cruiser cutting slowly through calm water. Pilots often describe looking out across the hull from the bridge and feeling the vessel’s identity strongly: a calm, watchful guardian built not for conquest, but for keeping the light steady where darkness begins.
