Dawnbreaker

"*A beauty, isn't she? We call her the* Dawnbreaker*. A reminder that the sun will always rise again.*"
―Obi-Wan Kenobi[src]
**AIS *Dawnbreaker*** (ASSN: **SPHR-CV-001**) was a *Sphyrna*-class Hammerhead corvette owned and operated by the former Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka Tano, officially under their aliases Ben and Siri Kenobi. In their account, it was bought from a starship junkyard due to its ship class going out-of-date, but in reality it was commissioned by Senator Bail Organa of Alderaan to be created by Rendili StarDrive as a part of the Alderaanian fleet. After purchasing the ship, he had it modified by reputable vendors on Alderaan, and then sent it to Kenobi and Tano as their own personal ship to assist in their function as the leaders of Alliance Intelligence, the intel division of the Alliance of Galactic Restoration.

Kenobi and Tano considered the ship their home, and it was also inhabited by the astromech droid R2-D2, the convor Morai, and later Kenobi's adoptive daughter Mara Jade Kenobi. It accompanied them around the galaxy, going to such places as Spira, Yavin 4, and Mandalore—where Clan Kenobi was formed by the two as a result of their actions during the Second Battle of Sundari, plus the revelation that *Mand'alor* Korkie Kryze was Kenobi's biological sun. The *Dawnbreaker* was thus emblazoned with the new Clan Kenobi's signet, a depiction of their convor Morai, on the bottom head. The ship was later kept in a secret hangar designed for it located underneath their home on Yavin 4.

## Description

### Appearance

116.7 meters long, the *Dawnbreaker* was *Sphyrna*-class factory-standard length but was painted in the colors red, orange, yellow, purple, and pink: the colors of dawn. It was emblazoned with a sunrise emblem on the upper head of the "hammerhead" which was orange and yellow in color. On the lower head, the convor emblem of Clan Kenobi was painted in magenta. The ship had been made out of duralloy plating and military-grade armor from Organa's specifications.

### Components

For hyperspace travel, *Dawnbreaker* was outfitted with a Class 0.78 modified Isu-Sim QRs70 hyperdrive as well as a Class 10 Isu-Sim QRs44 backup. The modified hyperdrive was purchased off the black market by one of Obi-Wan Kenobi's friends, Quinlan Vos, who had reputable connections. To complement this, the ship had a HS-Guard mesh to simulate a sleep cycle during hyperspace travel, and to prevent hyperspace madness when looking out the bridge's viewport.

The *Dawnbreaker* also was outfitted with four sublight engines: Girodyne SRB58 ion engines which allowed realspace travel. The ship's speed in space was 70 MGLT, and it also had an atmospheric speed of 1,220 kph. For power, it had a solar shell equipped which harvested and stored solar energy as the ship traveled through space.

The ship was also outfitted with a Nordoxicon Unlimited Grade-16 deflector shield generator/projector (the newest model in 3 AEF), as well as a second backup generator. For astrogation, the ship had a Rendili StarDrive RSD-4090 astronav unit. Alongside the pre-existing programming in the factory settings navicomputer, the navicomputer was also outfitted with star maps from the Alliance's archives that displayed the locations of Alliance bases and Alliance-friendly planets, as well as a special module which showed real-time sector control in the galaxy.

AIS *Dawnbreaker* was outfitted with a Fabritech ANq-51 sensor array computer as a sensor unit, as well as a standard Rendili StarDrive RSDc-800 starship computer. It was also outfitted with the standard six escape pods, and the ship had a total holding capacity of 22,833 metric tons. The *Dawnbreaker* was life support and LRTS-equipped.

### Armaments

The *Dawnbreaker* was outfitted with modified standard armaments: two forward-mounted Rendili LaserWorks YYV-H laser cannons, one dorsal turret-mounted RLW YYV-Lt turbolaser cannon, and 4 module-mounted RLW YYV-Lt turbolaser batteries All of the turrets were modified to be able to shoot faster, maneuver quicker with a larger range, and handle larger ammunition.

## History

### Commissioning

"*I had a fleet of these Hammerhead corvettes commissioned through Rendili StarDrive for humanitarian purposes, but somehow I ordered one extra. I had some reputable engineers in my employ make some alterations to it. Top of the line hyperdrive, computer systems, everything. It’s yours. For whatever you wish to do, wherever you wish to go.*"
―Bail Organa, introducing Kenobi and Tano to their new ship[src]
The *Dawnbreaker* was originally commissioned by Bail Organa in 0 AEF to be used by his associates Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka Tano, custom-made by Rendili StarDrive and outfitted in Alderaan's shipyards with advanced technology as well as a black market hyperdrive. The story Kenobi and Tano told to others was that they found it in a junkyard after it had sustained damage in the Clone Wars, but this was untrue.

### Alliance Intelligence missions

The *Dawnbreaker*, despite its advanced weaponry, did not see many active engagements early on in its usage, primarily used by Kenobi and Tano in their capacity as agents of the Alliance of Galactic Restoration's Intelligence division. Their first mission with the ship, before it had been even given a name, was a mission to commandeer the Kaliida Shoals Medical Center and take it to the Yavin system, where a secret Alliance base was being constructed. Afterwards, they named the ship the *Dawnbreaker* and purchased paint in order to give it a paintjob, which they did in a hidden valley north of Aldera City.

As the secret war between the Alliance and Empire began to heat up, the ship was used on a mission to Spira as well as a meeting with the New Mandalorian Empire on Draboon. They also used it as a transport to Mandalore prior to the Second Battle of Sundari.
