"During the Great War, the Jedi Order was granted use of Republic military vessels, but these starships proved unsuitable for the specialized assignments Jedi often undertake. Eventually the Jedi Council decided to commission a new corvette, custom-built for Jedi missions. The Defender-class corvette is built on two decks, maximizing the use of available space for state-of-the-art facilities supported by military-grade flight systems. Although peace is a key tenet of the Jedi, so is self-defense: in case of hostile action, the Defender can make use of a powerful attack and defense array of weapons, shields and advanced countermeasures."
