IPV-2C Stealth Corvette

The IPV-2C Stealth CorvetteRise of the Separatists was an experimental vessel developed by the Galactic Republic and manufactured by Sienar Design Systems during the War of the Ring. Equipped with a cloaking device that rendered it invisible, the prototype stealth ship was used during the Battle of Christophsis by Jedi General Frodo Baggins.
Originally tasked with sneaking past the Separatist blockade of the planet to deliver relief supplies to Senator Bail Organa on the surface, Baggins instead used the ship to bring down Separatist Admiral Trench's command ship, the Invincible. Baggins, Clone Commander "Blackout," CT-1284 "Spark," and the crew of the ship tried to attack Trench's ship, but beforehand, Admiral Trench found that the ship's magnetic signature could be tracked, so it was not completely undetectable. However, when he launched tracking torpedoes that followed the ship's magnetic signature, Frodo flew close to the Invincible bridge, causing the torpedoes to take out Trench's own ship. The cloaking technology's enormous expense and maintenance requirements discouraged the Galactic Republic Navy from commissioning additional stealth ships.TIE Fighter Owners' Workshop Manual
After the War of the Ring, the design of Moff Wilhuff Tarkin's personal starship, the Carrion Spike, was based on this stealth ship.Tarkin
The stealth ship had a modular hull and twenty eight cloak projectors. It was armed with two anti-aircraft laser cannon turrets, one each in the dorsal and ventral sides, and four proton torpedo launcher at the front. The stealth ship was also equipped with flares and had two sensor rectennas, one dorsal and one ventral.
