[edit] Characteristics
The Vanguard c20 retrofit suite was offered to older model corvettes like the CR70 in order to bring them in line with the CR90 model.[1] Judging from the use of CR90 corvettes in the years leading up to the Clone Wars, the CR70 model was a much older design.[2]
[edit] History
Tantive IV was originally a CR70 before being upgraded to a CR90.[1] As according to Bail Organa's wishes, the vessel was not armed, sporting only escape pods shaped like laser turrets to fool would-be attackers. This was done to signify the vessel's role as a diplomatic ship.[3]
