Legend

this was a Corellian Engineering Corporation troop transport ship that was modified for use by the Old Republic during the early stages of the Clone Wars. Based on the design of the larger Republic Cruiser, the CR20 measured 60 meters in length, and had a deep-bellied hull. The ship's crew compliment included a pilot, co-pilot, communications officer, and three engineers. To protect itself, the CR20 was armed with a pair of double turbolaser cannons. As refitted for the Grand Army of the Republic, the CR20 could accommodate up to forty clone troopers, twelve speederbikes, and any necessary supplies. The mission profile of the CR20 was for the planetside deployment of small forces, where an Acclamator-class transport was simply too impractical.
