Planets

The Corvus is a spaceship belonging to the Star Wars universe, specifically from the 2017 video game Star Wars Battlefront II. Created and developed by Electronic Arts (EA), the game features an extensive single-player story mode that follows the elite Imperial Special Forces unit known as Inferno Squad. Throughout the game, the Corvus serves as the primary mode of transportation for the Inferno Squad, commanded by protagonist Iden Versio.

The Corvus is a Raider II-class Corvette, designed and produced by manufacturer Kuat Drive Yards. It measures approximately 150 meters in length and is equipped with a class 2 hyperdrive. These Corvettes are typically used by the Galactic Empire for pursuits, reconnaissance, and escort missions. The ship's loadout includes multiple turbolaser batteries, two dual heavy laser cannons, and an Ion Cannon, making it a formidable adversary in space combat. Additionally, the Corvus sports a hangar bay, which houses the Inferno Squad's signature TIE fighters, known as TIE/ln space superiority starfighters.

In Star Wars Battlefront II, the Corvus becomes the mobile command center for the Inferno Squad, housing the team for the duration of the game's story. As the events of the game unfold, the Corvus and its crew take part in various missions, battling Rebel forces and later, helping the New Republic. The Corvus undergoes several modifications through the game, reflecting the changing allegiances and objectives of the main characters.

The Inferno Squad, led by Iden Versio, is an elite special forces unit in the Galactic Empire. Initially, the squad is fiercely loyal to the Empire and carries out its orders without question using the Corvus. However, during the game's story, the squad members begin to question their loyalty, leading them to defect and join the New Republic. From then on, the Corvus serves as the base of operations for the reformed Inferno Squad as they assist the New Republic in their fight against the remnants of the Empire.

As players progress through Star Wars Battlefront II's story mode, the Corvus appears in several missions, serving as both a setting and a central plot element. For example, in one mission, players must defend the Corvus from an Imperial attack led by Iden Versio's former superior, Admiral Garrick Versio. In another mission, the players land on the Corvus and make their way through the ship's interior, showcasing the ship's design and layout.

Although the Corvus is exclusive to Star Wars Battlefront II, it has become a notable addition to the Star Wars universe, serving as a symbol of the Inferno Squad's journey and the larger narrative of the game. Its design has been praised by fans, and the ship has made an impact on the Community as a memorable element of the story. the Corvus holds a unique place within the larger Star Wars universe, connecting players to the ever-evolving saga.
