One of the first vessels the Laitra designed for the Sith Empire, the flaw of its design was the thought process of primarily a few Laitra/Strata overseeing what would be an entirely droid crew. It was designed to operate with the precision of droid and Force-Sensitives running the entirety of the vessel. Thus while it was made to function at astounding speeds, highly acute sensors, solid shielding, and a strong armament capable of aggressively assaulting capital ships; because of these high performance functions, it also hinders its reliability as those high performance systems for a vessel this size tend to over tax it. Which is why for such a ship design it was done with the mind-frame of droids and Force-Sensitives maintaining and running the ship able to keep the vessel running at optimized levels, which an ordinary human, near-human, humanoid, etc crew may struggle to accomplish as keen or precisely. That is to say with an ordinary crew of such, for a well-trained crew of non-droid and/or non-Force-Sensitives could keep this vessel running optimally so long as they were each fully devoted to their tasks.
The purpose of this vessel is primarily to break through blockades while delivering a hard blow to a capital ship, or it can be utilized like many corvette capital ships, which is as an over-glorified escort ship or delegates vessel. But this was a vessel with assaulting or being able to barrage capital ships with proton bombs in mind, while also being able to carry a heavy payload and/or numerous military personnel. It was not ever intended to deal with starfighters and like any ship its size has no hope of out-maneuvering them--a smart captain of this vessel would do well to instead try to use its tremendous speed to outrun starfighters to swing back around for another barrage upon the capital ships or escape the scene altogether. A natural blockade runner because of its immense speed, it can carry a fair amount of supplies past enemy lines with great efficiency.
Interior:
A gift given to the Sith Empire, which was then given to Darth Renata’s apprentice: Jessoin Zarander. This corvette works both as the man’s personal transport, as well as one of the spearhead vessels for space combat. Black marble floors line the entire inside of the Thorn. The walls are all a dark plum in color, the architecture angular yet flowing. Any trim within the ship are veins of gold that glint in the low lighting. The bridge has a pedestal where Jessoin stands to observe and command as needed. The railing around the pedestal of black onyx, with a long golden serpent that coils around the railing. Jess often clutches the bar when the fighting gets intense. The reduced passenger capacity is a newer addition, where the cabins were gutted to give the Sith his own apartment within the ship. When not in his chambers in the Thorn, he is most often found either in the adjacent library, or in the hold sparring with the on-board training droid.
