The CR90 was the predecessor of the Assassin-class corvette, but since the latter lacked a fighter bay, the CR90 had not been phased out completely. While it was less heavily armed and not as streamlined as its successor, the ability to carry a fighter squadron made up for that tenfold. The CR90 was armed with two dual heavy turbolaser turrets, one dorsal and one ventral. It was also armed with four laser cannons, one on top of each escape pod bay. The ship had four escape pods in case of an emergency.
