Description
A descendant of the venerable EF76 Nebulon-B, the Nebulon-V is the newest addition to the Escort Frigate Line by Kuat Drive Yards. It features extremely heavy armor plating, which has been raised up off the hull, creating a buffer zone and allowing the armor to cool more quickly when it is under sustained turbolaser fire. These gaps between the armor plating and hull also provide additional storage space. Cargo containers can be mag-locked along the hull, concealed and protected by the armor plating.
It is also heavily armed, and with its robust engines making it highly maneuverable and quick to accelerate it is ideal for anti-starfighter operations or escort duty. Unfortunately, the heavy armor and extensive armaments limit hangar capacity substantially. External docking berths have somewhat offset this drawback, but it is certainly no replacement for a dedicated carrier. With some weapon systems removed completely, the vessel is easily outfitted for a myriad of other roles, including a hospital ship or an armed personnel transport.
The Corusca itself is a late model, having come out of KDY shortly before the product line was discontinued, and incorporates several MandalMotors design improvements. The traditional prow or dorsal mounted bridge is replaced with an internal Combat Information Center (CIC), designed for maximum efficiency and survivability. Additionally, the Corusca has been equipped with a Gravitic Anomaly Sensor, buffering it against damage normally associated with sudden reversion to real space and software patches have prepared it for potential HIMS system install- though the actual hardware installation on a low priority picket ship was deemed far too costly by Imperial budget reviewers. Finally, the already robust defenses of the Nebulon-V line has been enhanced with an additional backup power generator, and all important systems software have been copied to a back up server to speed an emergency reboot.
Service records indicate that the Corusca was originally sold to the Imperial Navy for the patrol of border territories, but that a series of accidents and unfavorable encounters with pirates prompted Imperial Insurance adjustors to declare the ship totaled and sell it for scrap. The ship was sold at auction to the Cyrillian Defense Fleet, under control of the local systems government. After unremarkable service with the CDF, the ship was once again auctioned, this time to a now defunct mercenary group that declared bankruptcy shortly after the acquisition. Records are lost at this point until the ship surfaced again nearly two years later in the hands of Bacta pirates, when it was captured by sympathetic Mon Calamari Patrol and donated to the Rebellion in need of serious repair.

Interested in joining the crew of The Corusca? It's easy! Just post a short introduction, tell us what you characters skills are, what position you'd like, and why he/she/it wants to join us. Corusca crewman are not restricted to working ONLY on Corusca projects, and being a crewman is not required to go on an adventure with us either. If you're interested in having help from the Corusca and her crew on your own adventure, just ask here or shoot me a message! May the Force be with you.
More on the Subject of joining the crew:
I've gotten more than a few requests to join the crew over the last few days, and I'm definitely open to participation. That said, I won't be adding anyone to our roster until they become an active participant, since several of our original members who expressed interest in joining (who I added to the roster) have since disappeared without taking part in any of our efforts. I'd also like to get more group discussion going here in the OOC, since I sometimes lose track of my PM/VMs (unless it is a private question, and then by all means). Bottom line, make yourself an active participant.
