DESCRIPTION​

The Privateer-Class Frigate was originally constructed by the Corellian Engineering Corporation to counter the negative reputation their ships had (as they were often used by criminals). This frigate was deigned to have a heavy armament along with a small crew, with it's intention being the pursuit and capture of pirate and outlaw vessels. The ship was also excellent for escorting cargo ships, and protecting them during transport.

Unfortunately, as with many other ships produced by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, the design falling into outlaw hands was inevitable. Many pirates with larger crews and mercenaries looking to transport their forces would find the Privateer-Class Frigate to be the perfect vessel. On the inside, it was quite roomy with a large crew quarters, kitchen, and rec room. Of course, it had many other important rooms such as life-support controls, engineering, and a bridge.

While these vessels do see ownership from small planetary governments and mercenary forces, it is debatable that they are found in the hands of pirates more often. As such, many other criminal organizations, including the Five Syndicates, have purchased these ships.

LEGALITY​

Restricted. Privateer-Class Frigates are classified as capital ships under Galactic law, and possess heavy weapons. As such, civilian owners will require extra licensing to operate one legally, and will receive increased scrutiny by authorities.

INTENT​

The Privateer-Class Frigate is intended to be a vessel designed specifically for Privateering. It creates a ship that would be desirable to both pirate, mercenary, and criminal groups.

RESTRICTIONS​

Privateer-Class Frigates are capital ships with powerful weapons, and capital ships cannot be owned or operated by individual characters. They can be acquired as a faction asset, or can be jointly owned by at least 3 player characters who work together regularly.
