The LAAT/le patrol gunship [1] was the civilian model of the LAAT/i gunship and was sleeker, smaller, and less heavily armed. [2] Designed for crowd control, the gunship was fast, maneuverable and armed with light but efficient weaponry, making it ideal for law enforcement in heavily built-up locales. [10] The police gunship possessed a spoked cockpit and solar gatherer panels which acted as the power generator for the ship. Two ball-mounted laser cannons were underneath the cockpit and one laser cannon was mounted on the rear of the ship which were better suited for patrolling the city scape as well as having a lower risk overall in causing collateral damage.

The LAAT/le patrol gunship, also known as the Republic police gunship and later known as the Imperial patrol transport, was a gunship introduced during the Clone Wars to perform law enforcement functions on the Republic capital of Coruscant. Designed to be sleeker and smaller as well as less heavily armed than the Republic attack gunship, the patrol transport was better suited for policing the dense, planet-wide city while reducing the risks of collateral damage.

A rugged and reliable ship, the clunky PB-950 was known for its ability to withstand considerable punishment due to its double hulled design. [3] In addition, despite the ship's age, its armament sported enough firepower to deal with smugglers and pirates, its stock ion cannons being used to immobilize ships before they could escape.

Despite seeing a last surge of popularity at the onset of the Clone Wars before production was halted to make way for the larger and more powerful Light corvette, there are still tens of thousands of patrol boats in operation rounding out Imperial Customs forces and system defense forces throughout the Galactic Empire, [1] with the corellians employing these craft during the original Corellian Crisis. more

Two Raider-class corvettes were part of an Imperial task force ordered to eliminate insurgents in the Umbara system led by Admiral Carlou Gendling. Gendling's inability to act decisively resulted in the destruction of one corvette and critical damage to the other corvette. [2] more

The Raider-class corvette was a sleek and roomy vessel at 150 meters for a sizeable crew and featured 3 engines and a hyperdrive. The dark grey protrusions on the craft were actually solar collectors, nearly identical to those found on the starfighters of the TIE-series. These ships could be operated with a pilot and a co-pilot and were armed with ion cannons, dual heavy laser cannons, concussion missiles, and turbolasers. [5] The ships also had a small hangar on the starboard side, that could hold at least 2 TIE fighters. [6] more

During the evacuation of Yavin 4, one corvette was aboard the hangar of an Imperial Star Destroyer. Rebel pilot Evaan Verlaine was assigned to infiltrate the Destroyer and buy time for the evacuation. She took the corvette, which she rammed into the mighty vessel, ejecting at the last moment. The impact was enough to knock the Destroyer off course when it fired, causing the blast to level the top of a nearby mountain. The act bought enough time to finish the evacuation. [8] One Raider-class corvette was captured by a Starhawk-class battleship and brought to its hangar. [9] here
