The '''''Peregrine'''''-class [[corvette]] was the product of pride as much as necessity for [[Clan Jade Falcon]], and was strongly influenced by the pragmatic streak that ran through the Clan at that time. The result was a ship that was both easy prey for aggressors, and not a threat to prepared and well-equipped defenders. ''Peregrines'' were commonly used for exploring new systems, or for serving as the center of a small task force.<ref name="TRO:GCp56">''Technical Readout: Golden Century'', pp. 56–57: "Peregrine"</ref> Only a few of these were built during the Clans' [[Golden Century|Golden Age]],<ref name=IP3:IEp94>''Interstellar Expeditions: Interstellar Players 3'', p. 94</ref> and while the ships were mostly written off during the Golden Century, the class saw a new lease of life during the [[Jihad]].<ref name="TRO:GCp56"/>

One ship of the class, the ''[[Silver Merlin]]'', had a reputation for aggressively hunting down members of the [[Dark Caste]], often deploying on extended bandit-hunting missions.

The ''Peregrine'' mounted a pair of [[NAC/35]]s in the nose along with twenty rounds of ammunition to provide short-range punch. A pair of [[NL35]]s were mounted in the aft as well as in the fore-left and right arcs, giving the ship a moderate amount of firepower. Supporting the capital-class weaponry was a pair of [[ER Large Laser]]s in each arc. In common with other Clan WarShips, each ''Peregrine'' mounted an [[HPG]].<ref name="TRO:GCp56"/>
