"Pirate King Gorian Shard is captaining a Cumulus Class Corsair carrying a complement of snubfighters. It has aerial bombardment capabilities."
―Bo-Katan Kryze[2]

The Cumulus-class Corsair was a type of corsair ship used by the Pirate King Gorian Shard[2] approximately five years after the Battle of Endor.[3]

Description

The Cumulus class was a roughly cruciform or dagger-shaped warship with a prominent blade-shaped prow with a small command Tower in the aft with a compact Bridge with red lighting.

It was armed with four quad laser cannons, fourteen ventral gunwales, and could carry a complement of at least ten fighters.[2]

History

A Cumulus in service to the Pirate Nation, specifically Gorian Shard's gang, took part in the pirate siege on Nevarro. Despite its capabilities, the ship was eventually brought down and destroyed by Din Djarin's N-1 starfighter and Bo-Katan Kryze's Gauntlet starfighter during the siege, which ultimately resulted in Gorian Shard's death.[2]

One Cumulus-class vessel was present within[4] the Outer Rim Territories shadowport[5] Borgo Prime[4] around 9 ABY.[6]

In addition, SWInsider "A Certain Point of View" — Star Wars Insider 228 also dates "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" to nine years after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 9 ABY per Timelines. "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" takes place after the conflict on Mandalore, which is the main event depicted in "Chapter 23: The Spies" and "Chapter 24: The Return," the final two episodes of The Mandalorian Season Three. Therefore, Seasons One through Three of Star Wars: The Mandalorian, the latter of which includes "Chapter 21: The Pirate," must all be set in 9 ABY as well.
