The Defiant

The Defiant was a Thranta-class corvette, also known as a CR-12 corvette, was a corvette in service of the Rebellion and now the New Jedi Order Navy Originally the Ship served the Old Republic Navy roughly 200 years before the battle of Yavin.

Characteristics
the ship class was similar in appearance to the earlier Praetorian-class frigate and Hammerhead-class cruiser models

the Thranta-class Corvette possessed two main dual turbolasers mounted in the forward position, similar to that of the Hammerhead-class cruiser, a Ion Cannon mounted along its ventral hull, The armament of this ship's class was powerful enough for it to compete with the Medium Sized Vessels and large transports but it lacked the firepower to go head to head against the Star Destroyers and heavier warships. To compensate for this, The Defiant is modified with faster sublight engines and an advanced Hyperdrive

Thranta-class Corvettes possess two shielded hangars on the port and starboard sides of the ship, allowing it hold 14 Liberator-class Republic starfighters, 3 bombers, as well as 4 shuttles. When the Defiant was discovered it had a full complement of these but over time the Crew have sold and destroyed severial of these.

For sublight propulsion, the Thranta-class relied on a configuration of four banks of two ion engines arrayed around its aft hull, and two larger engines mounted in the center.
