Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Starships of the Galaxy
Corellian Gunship is the common name applied to a series of closely related ship designs (the most common being the DP20 Frigate) built by the Corellian Engineering Corporation from the last decades of the Old Republic through the time of the Yuuzhan Vong Invasion.
A departure from most CEC designs, the gunship is not modular, not easily modified, and not meant to carry a significant number of passengers or a large cargo load. It is a small Capital Ship designed to deal with Starfighters and armed Space Transports. Originally built for use by the Republic Navy, the gunship soon found itself popular with merchant companies, wealthy travelers, planetary defense forces, and pirates.
Capabilities[]
The DP20 Corellian Frigate is primarily an escort vessel, designed to protect bulk cargo carriers from attacks by Starfighters and Space Transports or to cover larger Capital Ships from attacks by Starfighters. Though it lacks long staying power and is often overwhelmed if acting alone, it has proven a useful part of many different fleet complements. Although unable to outlast larger dedicated military craft, the gunship has the firepower and defenses to engage such ships briefly.
Unlike most Capital Ships, the DP20 Corellian Frigate does not arrange it's heaviest weapons to be fired in Batteries. Instead, each Double Turbolaser is controlled by an independent Gunner with no ability to tie into the fire of the other Gunners.This disconnected fire control allows the DP20 Corellian Frigate to carry a few extra heavy weapons, but it also means the Turbolasers can't be fired in Batteries.

Tactical Fire[]
DP20 Corellian Frigates are escort vessels designed to deter attackers from targeting protected Starships while eliminating incoming threats. As a Standard Action, a DP20 Corellian Frigate can forgo all attacks to provide Tactical Fire to all adjacent squares. All allied Starships within that area gain a +1 bonus to their Reflex Defense, and enemy Starships within that area take a -1 penalty to their Reflex Defense.
