Banshee Class Corvette

The Banshee is one of least known ships in the Imperial Navy. Designed and built by Loronar on the back of the success of their Strike Frigate, the Banshee is high-speed pursuit vessel. With most Rebel attacks on Imperial forces being conducted by high-speed craft, most Imperial ships were not fast enough to give chase. Loronar were approached to design a vessel to eradicate this gap in the Imperial Navy. They were asked to design a vessel that could not only keep up with attacking Rebel ships but also be able to follow them back to their base. The Banshee is a sleek, manoeuvrable vessel, with powerful sub-light engines giving it the speed of an X-Wing. An improved hyperdrive was installed to allow it to follow the ships more quickly through hyperspace. The Banshee is quite heavily armed for a ship of its size, which allows it to operate away from the main battle group and to fulfill its role as a pursuit vessel. So far the operations the Banshee has been involved in have been a success.
