Legend

Samuel Tomas Gillespee's personal freighter, the Kern's Pride was a modified CR90 corvette that had seen more than its fair share of combat and fighting. Many of Gillespee's team wondered why he kept the ship around, as it was easily the most beat-up ship in his small fleet. Gillespee, however, refused to accept another command, and once claimed that the way he'd leave the Kern's Pride was when the ship itself finally died. He first acquired the ship some twenty-five years before the Battle of Endor, and reconfigured the ship almost annually to meet his changing needs. It even helped transport Alliance soldiers into battle during the Galactic Civil War. The Kern's Pride was armed with six double turbolaser cannons and a pair of ion cannons. It required a crew of 145 to operate, and could carry up to forty passengers and 10,000 metric tons of cargo.
