Only 500 were built in the early days of the Empire, and a good 100 of those are known to be destroyed. They are often found in the private armies of local despots and platetary governments, as well as the occasional Imperial garrison that's far removed from the rest of the galaxy. Each can carry one light freighter or shuttle and four starfighters in an internal bay. The cargo capacity was a major selling point, as it allowed one ship to fulfill the need of convoy and escort, but it was too small for truly useful cargos. Hence it was relagated to remote planetary defence and pirate hunting.
