Corsair battleship

Corsair battleships, sometimes known simply as corsairs, were ships that served in the navy of the Brotherhood of Darkness during the final stages of the New Sith Wars.

Characteristics

Although in other contexts the term battleship denoted large, heavily armored combatants, corsair battleships were relatively fast-moving and maneuverable ships. In this period, it seems that the "battleship" designation described attack/picket ships, which served along with starfighters in a support role for larger warships, such as Sith Destroyers and Dreadnaughts, or the Galactic Republic's Hammerhead-class cruisers.

History

Two ships of this class were Rage and Fury, both of which formed part of the Sith fleet that fought in the First Battle of Ruusan in 1002 BBY.
