What is Cuusoo?
There is a chance that you have happened upon this page without knowing anything about Cuusoo. Cuusoo is a site where people submit ideas for new Lego sets. If the project can get 10,000 Supporters then Lego will review the projected. If Lego likes the idea then they will create their own version of the project (in this case a Corellian Defender with an assortment of Minifigs) and mass produce it to make it available to fans.
If you already have a facebook or twitter account you can create an account with no hassle at all using that login. If not, it only takes about a minute to make a Cuusoo account to support a project.
So, if you would like to see Lego produce a Corellian Defender, then please create an account and support this project.

This is the Jedi vessel from the game Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Satele is a character from The Old Republic. Based on her use of the Double-bladed lightsabre her class is likely Jedi Consular. She already exists as a Lego Minifig.
C2-N2 is a support droid that resides on the Corellian Defender.
Qyzen Fess is a Trandoshan and is the companion of Jedi Consular characters (and thus the reason I picked him to go with this Project).
If you need to see this thing in three dimensions, there is also a Youtube video of an earlier build
here. I give it a spin.
Like the Sith Fury, this ship is built to scale with the statuette fig which is one brick tall (check
here for a project elaborating on the part ). However, like the Lego Fury, the ship has been modified to use Minifigs. The current design is easily modifiable to the desired scale. With a minimal number of part changes the ship can be customized to its origianal micro/midi scale.
As an homage to the actual scale I propose that a statuette be included in the set, but to make it much more interesting I would suggest that it be cast in trans-blue (translucent blue) so that it can be reminiscent of a Star Wars hologram (see picture ).
If you really like this project please help me get the word out to the Larger SWTOR community.
This can be done by posting in SWTOR forums, SWTOR social pages, Tweeting, or by going to the contact pages of SWTOR and Star Wars podcasts/news sites and leaving a tip. For example:
Moseisley Radio
TheForce.Net
Corellian Run Radio
Torocast
For my next SWTOR ship: Well, I will let the supporters decide:
Corellian XS Stock Light Freighter — (Smuggler)
BT-7 Thunderclap — (Trooper)
D5-Mantis Patrol Craft — (Bounty Hunter)
X-70B Phantom — (Imperial Agent)
There is a comment post where you can vote for the next ship you want me to recreate. Just reply to that posting with your selection.
Update: Voting is closed. I will start with the Phantom.
If you hate the Jedi and are 100% Empire, well, you can get this set and just make a target for your Fury to destroy!
