The Assassin was a heavily modified CR90 corvette, another patrol ship also used by Astragon. It was more streamlined and heavily armed, and it is slightly faster than the CR90. However, unlike the CR90, it could not carry any starfighters. The ship was armed with six dual turbolaser turrets, two quad laser cannons, and a proton torpedo launcher with ten shots. A group of such ships numbering about twelve could take on a Star Destroyer and win. However, without fighter support, the ship was left vulnerable to being outflanked, hence the CR90 had not been phased out.

- The Assassin-class Corvette, better known as the Modified Corvette, was a small warship first produced some time before the Battle of Hoth and used primarily by the Imperial Navy. Designed as a more militarized successor to the famous CR90 Corellian Corvette, the Assassin-class shared the familiar "hammerhead" styling, but it was more streamlined for greater hull strength.

| - The Assassin-class Corvette, better known as the Modified Corvette, was a small warship first produced some time before the Battle of Hoth and used primarily by the Imperial Navy. Designed as a more militarized successor to the famous CR90 Corellian Corvette, the Assassin-class shared the familiar "hammerhead" styling, but it was more streamlined for greater hull strength. In addition to a stronger hull, the Assassin had more resilient shields and heavier firepower. Though it shared a similar 4-3-4 engine layout, it had eight large outer engines and three small inner engines as opposed to the CR90's eleven nearly identical engines. Much of its cargo space has also been sacrificed so that it may carry up to four starfighters into battle. The Assassin-class was used alongside the CR90 in system patrol squadrons to repel pirates and Rebel attacks on convoys and space stations. It was also used by the Rebels in hit-and-fade operations and by several groups as a transport for high-priority cargo and personnel.
