Legend

following the success of the IR-3F, Seinar Fleet System produced this System Patrol Craft measuring 150 meters in length. Note that Pirates and Privateers documents the length at just 120 meters. These fast, maneuverable craft were well-armed for intercepting criminals along border regions where Star Destroyers are not present. They lacked hyperdrives, and so they were restricted to patrolling specific areas of space. They have been rated at a top speed of 80 MGLT, and have a crew compliment of 12 - four officers and eight gunners. They had cargo capacity to transport up to 200 metric tons of supplies or equipment, and could accommodate ten additional troops or prisoners. The standard IPV-1 was armed with four Taim & Bak XV7 light turbolasers, a Krupx VL-4a warhead launching system, front- and rear-projecting Novaldex shields (rated at 150 SBD), and a 60-RU titanium alloy hull.
