Star Wars: The Old Republic Starship Holonet Updates

The official Star Wars: The Old Republic website has once again seen an update to its holonet database, with the latest two entries profiling the Fury and Defender starships. Information, screenshots, and a video tour of each ship is provided, and then we have some new concept art to look at as part of another Fan Friday event. On the Defender:

Corellian Defender-Class Light Corvette

Developed at the height of the Great War, the Defender was custom-built for the Jedi Order. The Jedi Council commissioned the starship after determining that Republic military vessels were not well-suited to the Jedi’s more specialized missions. The Defender’s exterior design is based on the consumer model corvette, but it has been outfitted with countless customized upgrades. The starship includes two levels. The formal upper level features diplomatic meeting rooms and an elegant conference room at the ship’s center. The conference room contains a unique Holocom system for secure communications with the Jedi Council. The Defender’s lower level includes a cargo hold, a medical bay, and a small private space in which the Jedi can retreat for meditation. Despite the Jedi Order’s commitment to peace, the ship is battle-ready. If circumstances warrant, the Defender is engineered with high-powered shields and twin turbo lasers to engage the enemy.
