BACKGROUND
The IPV-1 System Patrol Craft, also known as the Imperial patrol vehicle or IPV-1 corvette, was a standard system security and customs vessel commonly used near planets to interdict smugglers and protect against piracy. It was produced by Republic Sienar Systems.
Being very fast and maneuverable, they patrolled Republic and later Imperial sectors when larger ships were unavailable. They were regarded as the first line of defense against purveyors of contraband and various organizations attempting insurrection against a system, and relied on their speed to catch and disable or destroy enemy craft. Pirate attacks fell to an all-time low when this craft was in a sector. However many fell into the hands of pirates and crime syndicates who used them to defend their outposts.

MDC BY LOCATION:
(1) Main Hull 32 000
(1B) Bridge 4 000
(2) Main Sensor/Communications Array 2 000
Secondary Sensor/Communicatiosn Array 500
(3) Main Engines (2) 3 000 ea
(3) Secondary Engines (2) 1 000 ea
Small Guidance thrusters (many) 100 ea
Small Airlocks/Access Hatches(4) 100 ea
Large Airlocks (2) 800 ea
Outer Hull (per 40 ft area) 120
Interior walls (per 20 ft area) 60
Turbolaser Cannon (4) 275 ea
(4) Shields 10 000 side (60 000 total)
Armour - Ignores attacks that do 60md points of damage or less. Anything more than 60md applies all damage done.
NOTES: 1 - Depleting the MDC of the main hull will put the ship out of commission. All internal systems will shut down, including life support and internal gravity.
1B - If hte bridge is destroyed then control is automatically given tot eh mainengineering section witht he following penalities: -5 on all combat rolls adn attacks per melee are halved.
2 - Destroying the sensor will deprive the ship of all forms of long range communications, radar and targeting. The range and targeting capabilities of the secondary systems are equal to that of a shuttlecraft at best. The ship can still operate, but is at -3 on initiative, -3 to strike, and number of attacks per melee of the weapon systems are reduced by half.
3 - Depleting the MDC of the main engines will force the ship to rely on its secondary engines. Depleting the MDC of the main engines AND secondary engines will leave the ship adrift in space. If in an atmosphere, the ship will crash.
4 - Shields regenerate at 60 mdc per melee. Only if a generator is damaged will the ability for shields to regenerate be hampered
