- Yes, it has. That means Tantive IV in RotS is still a CR70. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision)

- Nice to see Rob Coleman's quote from way back gets some backing in publishing:
- "One of the most fun things about this show was linking the first trilogy to this one, introducing designs that make more of an appearance in A New Hope." The cruiser flown by Bail Organa, for example, is a predecessor to the rebel blockade runner featured in the first shot of the original Star Wars. "It looks a little bit different, but you can tell it comes from the same factory."
- ―Cinefex #102 pg. 68
Technically, it now is a predecessor. 8) VT-16 06:36, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
- That quote originally just confused me. Now it makes perfect sense. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 11:14, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
In Revenge of the Sith, the CR70 has a small hanger bay (which obi won lands in). Does anyone know if the CR90 also had a hanger bay?
- Not to my knowledge. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 14:14, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
- In the X-Wing Strategy Guide, during the details leading up to the sixth X-Wing historical training mission, it's mentioned that Keyen Farlander landed his fighter in the bay of the corvette of that mission. As the corvettes in that game were all CR90s (the CR70 not having been thought up yet), that implies that the CR90 does have a docking bay for starfighters. (You don't actually land or dock with the ship in the game itself, however). Is this canon? - Rebel Dragon 03:13, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Armament
Edit
How exactly can this thing be a corvette if it doesn't even have weapons? -MPK 22:25, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
- And how do we know that ALL ships of the class are unarmed? It makes sense that Bail Organa's ship would be unarmed (while still looking like it has some armament) but as MPK pointed out, a corvette by it's very definition is a military vessel designed for combat. I think it likely that Organa's ship was unarmed but that the average CR70 did possess weaponry. SpartHawg948 07:04, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
- According to the new SotG, a stock CR70 is unarmed, which makes sense for the relatively peaceful era it was introduced in. But you're forgetting that this is a CEC design - it's made for modification. Undoubtedly there are some that are armed to the teeth (for a corvette) and others that are weaponless. I would agree though that too much has been extrapolated from Organa's ship for the CR70. I mean, stock dummy laser cannons? Like pirates wouldn't catch on to that... - Brynn Alastayr 17:52, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
