Tantive V

The Tantive V was a Corellian CR90 corvette in the service of the Rebel Alliance.
==History==
===A New Hope===
It was set up to be an exact copy of the Tantive IV so as to fool Imperial forces into thinking that Princess Leia was on board. Shortly after Leia received the Death Star plans, she set course for Tatooine and was followed by the Tantive V.
Darth Vader, thinking the Tantive V to be the Tantive IV, captured the ship and brought it aboard his Star Destroyer. As soon as the stormtroopers breached the Tantive V, they were beset upon by a being they thought was Princess Leia. Vader himself was not fooled, however, and it was soon revealed that the being combating them was in fact Abso Bar Binks.
After the Imperial troops captured all the remaining Gungans on board, Abso was thrown in with them. Though the stormtroopers wanted to kill the Gungans, Vader stopped them and informed them that they were not even worth their blaster fire.
The Tantive V was set adrift from the Star Destroyer, and a mere hour later the Tantive IV was captured by the Devastator. 
===Found Again===
The Tantive V was later recovered by the Rebel Alliance, where upon it was modified and used in the Battle of New Plympto. It was further modified for use in a diplomatic mission to the Draxial System. It was place under the command of Princess Leia Organa and received a crew made up of mostly Chandrilan and Alderaanian Rebel Operatives.
