During the Great Galactic War, the Jedi Order was granted use of Republic military vessels, but these starships proved to be unsuitable for the specialized assignments Jedi often undertake.

- The Defender-class light corvette was produced by the Rendili Vehicle Corporation for the Jedi Order during the Great Galactic War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. Manufactured on Corellia, the Defender-class light corvette was modeled after a similar consumer corvette that was inspired by the Republic Military's Thranta-class corvette, but the Defender-class was modified specifically for use by Jedi as a mobile operations base and a capable starfighter in its own right. The corvette could be flown by a single pilot, and it was equipped with heavy shielding, two sets of dual laser cannons, and missiles. The ship's interior was laid out over two decks, and a secure holoterminal, transceiver, multiple conference rooms, and a medbay were among the vessel's numerous amenities
- The Defender-class light corvette was specifically designed[2] by the Rendili Vehicle Corporation[1] for use by the Jedi Order, as the Jedi Council believed that traditional vessels of the Republic Military were unsuited to use by Jedi on many of their missions.[2] The Order imagined the new vessel to be a mobile base of operations that was fast, maneuverable, and well-armed.[3] Rendili[1] based the exterior design of the Defender-class on a consumer model corvette,[2] which itself was devised after the Republic Navy's Thranta-class corvette,[3] but the ship underwent considerable upgrades and retrofits that distanced itself from the civilian model.[2] Rendili specifically designed the vessel's color scheme of red and white to create a vessel that would inspire fear in the Republic's enemi

| - The Defender-class light corvette is a player starship available to players of both the Jedi Knight and Jedi Consular classes. During the Great Galactic War, the Jedi Order was granted use of Republic military vessels, but these starships proved to be unsuitable for the specialized assignments Jedi often undertake. Eventually the Jedi Council decided to commission a new corvette, custom built for Jedi only missions.
- The Defender-class light corvette was specifically designed[2] by the Rendili Vehicle Corporation[1] for use by the Jedi Order, as the Jedi Council believed that traditional vessels of the Republic Military were unsuited to use by Jedi on many of their missions.[2] The Order imagined the new vessel to be a mobile base of operations that was fast, maneuverable, and well-armed.[3] Rendili[1] based the exterior design of the Defender-class on a consumer model corvette,[2] which itself was devised after the Republic Navy's Thranta-class corvette,[3] but the ship underwent considerable upgrades and retrofits that distanced itself from the civilian model.[2] Rendili specifically designed the vessel's color scheme of red and white to create a vessel that would inspire fear in the Republic's enemies and instantly announce the presence of a Jedi on battlefields across the galaxy.[3] Measuring seventy-nine meters wide and ninety-four meters long, the Defender-class was twenty-nine meters tall when resting on its four landing gear. The frontal hull of the corvette was curved at an angle that deflected enemy laser fire easily, and two sets of twin laser cannons were situated at either end of the bow, while the corvette's bridge was located in the center between the ship's main running lights.[3] The main body of the ship was roughly in the shape of a triangular figure-eight, with the rear of the ship[2] sporting two access hatches[3] on either side and the corvette's twin thrusters situated at the end of the vessel.[2] The access hatches were situated on either side of the main conference room,[2] with the sensor array[3] and communications dish located on the exterior of the vessel above the conference room. The primary boarding ramp was located in the center of the corvette's lower hull and opened out beneath the ship's bridge.[2] The Defender-class corvette was equipped with high-powered deflector shields for defense, while the ship's missile launchers allowed it to take on enemy vessels of far greater size and strength.
