Legend

this CR90 corvette was purchased by the government of Chandrila some sixty years before the Battle of Endor. It was outfitted to perform a variety of missions, and was best-known for its participation in the Vaykaaris uprising as well as for the fact that the treaty which brought the Marzoon Confederacy into the Old Republic was signed aboard the ship. After a long life, the Freedom's Messenger was finally defeated in battle at the Battle of Ord Torrenze, where it plowed through the enemy blockade with all guns firing. The Freedom's Messenger took heavy amounts of fire, but managed to forge an escape route for the civilian ships stranded on Ord Torrenze. In the wake of the battle, however, the Freedom's Messenger suffered massive damage to her power core, and the ship's crew was fatally poisoned with radiation. It was left for scrap in orbit about Ord Torrenze's sun, until it was recovered by the Empire and refitted as the Renegade.
