[b]Type:[/b] CR-85a Corellian Corvette
[b]Faction/Unit:[/b] Rebel Alliance
[b]Synopsis of Role:[/b] The Intruder is a CR-85a Corellian Corvette, designed toward the end of the Clone Wars as a pirate hunter. It is 30% larger than the CR-70 or CR-90 class, but that space is devoted to launch bays for shuttles/boarding craft/landing craft. While it retains a similar number of turbolasers to the CR-90, it adds the capability to lay sonic mines in its wake and a tractor beam. Other modifications have been made. Currently, it holds three U-Wing transport/fighters, each modified to provide close-air support once the troopers have disembarked.

[b]Synopsis of Role:[/b] The Uslam Liberators started out as the an amalgamation of the Uslam Defense Forces and banned mining unions that the Empire tried to suppress. Their activities in stockpiling and organize were extensively abetted by Prime Minister San Verek, whose government ensured that the disappearing supplies and equipment were accounted for in audits and in the system. After the public execution of San Verek, the Uslam Liberators rose up and took over the Imperial Garrison at Lorya, using their experience with mining charges to breach the facility. During the 5 month siege, the Liberators distinguished themselves while fighting a losing battle on Uslam's surface.
