This is a standard ship produced by Incom. However, there is an anecdote about a Corona-class frigate which was planned to be housed in the museum.
Originally, the frigate to be exhibited in the museum was called Musketteer and was being produced in memory of Ace Rose, one of the few Republicans who was awarded the Republic Heart. All agreements between the Museum Board and Owyn Darklighter - who was producing it - had been smooth and nothing could indicate possible problems. Instead, Mr. Darklighter made the ship over to the New Republic when still in production on Y14D159, and by the time the GM Board asked for it be moved to the space station, the ship had disappeared from the NR inventory.

Investigations were carried out immediately, but what was discovered was then classified: as a matter of fact, the ship was used for an operation of the Republican Intelligence. Although attempts to have it retrieved after the operation finished were done, the Museum Board had to face the evidence that it was better to consider that ship lost for good.
In hindsight, the Musketeer - emboding somehow the spirit of sacrifice of Dumas's book and Ace Rose as well - was sacrificed to settle a situation that the NR deemed important.
