A versatile light capital ship, Corellian Engineering's fast, reliable CR90 class corvette is a small multi-purpose vessel popular with both militaries and civilian organizations.

Long and sleek, the CR90 has a distinctive, wasp-waisted profile with a narrow midships section flanked by a massive bank of eleven Cirodyne ion turbine engines aft and a broad, hammerhead bridge and crew section forward. CR90s are remarkably fast and agile for ships of their size, and can be configured as a troop carrier, cargo hauler, a passenger liner or consular ship, or even a heavily armed escort vessel.

The corvettes usually mount a pair of T&B twin turbolasers in dorsal and ventral midships turrets as their main weapons. Along with the turbolasers are four light turbolasers, two to a side, mounted dorsally in turrets on the midships hull section. This makes them well suited to running blockades and acting as heavy escorts for cash-strapped militaries.
