Serenity is the personal corvette assigned to Master Brider Surriss' use. As she travels frequently, Serenity, named after the Fourth Tenet of the Jedi Code, is her primary place of residence. She has had it custom-fitted (partially through contract work, and partly together with her crew, as their abilities permitted) with a small library, a terrarium, and a specialised weapon stand for her companion Qyzen Fess' traditional vibroblade and Felix Iresso's rifle (as a Jedi-specific vessel, it was not initially equipped to carry personal weaponry other than a lightsaber - which is never away from a Jedi's person).
On large-scale missions, Serenity is often berthed in Barsen'thor's hangar.
During the Great War, the Jedi Order was granted use of Republic military vessels, but these starships proved unsuitable for the specialized assignments Jedi often undertake. Eventually the Jedi Council decided to commission a new corvette, custom-built for Jedi missions. The Defender-class corvette is built on two decks. The lower deck is based on a standard keel and houses a cargo hold, engine compartment and full medical bay. Most of the Defender’s customization is on the flight deck, which includes a private cabin and meditation chamber, along with a state-of-the-art cockpit. At the center of the ship is a spacious conference room equipped with a holo communicator for discussions with the Jedi Council or diplomatic talks. Although peace is a key tenet of the Jedi, so is self-defense. In case of hostile action, the Defender possesses a high-powered shield array and twin laser cannons.
