Ship Compendium
Webmaster’s Note: Besides the usual disclaimers about Star Wars being the property of Lucasfilm, fair use, blah blah blah, I’d just mention that this page is a reformatted (and slightly edited – grammar and spelling only) version of Kris Rodrigues’ excellent Ship Compendium Version 5. Yes, I’d ask for his permission, and probably by the time you read this, he would have given permission for this to be hosted.
In case you aren’t getting the hint, from this point on, all webmaster’s notes will be in red.
This Ship Compendium is an attempt to catalogue the major capital ships employed by the Rebel Alliance/New Republic/Galactic Alliance and the Galactic Empire/Imperial Remnant and provide the pertinent statistics for those vessels. There have been a variety of sourcebooks and references published on these vessels but far too often they provide inconsistent or erroneous figures. The aim of this Compendium therefore is to collate all the known data on these vessels and to establish acceptable figures for them. It draws on a number of web-based and paper sources, as well as the erudite members of an insane cult known as the “Fleet Junkies.” Many moons ago, one of these Junkies decided to create what he affectionately dubbed “Project Calamari”. After being met to tremendous acclaim, the lovechild of Warlord_Ken and AdmiralNick22 lay dormant, waiting to be resurrected. When Kris7 joined the ever-growing fringe, he decided that it was time to breathe life back into this monster. To do so, he consulted a number of other inmates in their padded cells and was bombarded with a plethora of information. You see, although the Fleet Junkies may be an eclectic bunch, they are united in their passion for the Capital Ships of the Star Wars Universe. This passion means that there is never a shortage of people volunteering enormous amounts of data to be shared with everyone else. It has taken much time to sort through all these statistics. The result is what succeeds these words. Enjoy.
1) Vessels are listed by length, from shortest to longest.
2) Sources are listed in abbreviated form after each ship name and listed in full at the end of the Compendium under the heading "References"
3) Any stats provided by a Jedi Council Member are purely speculative
4) While images have been provided for most vessels, some have "No Image Available" appearing instead. This simply means that no pictures were found and that Kris7 cannot draw.
5) Many of the images are squashed and contorted. Simply click on them and you will be taken to a larger, properly scaled version. (This does not happen in this page. All pictures will be in the correct proportion)
6) All ships have been given a “combat role” in this version. This classification system is almost entirely the work of forum member Grin_Reaper and is explained below these notes. With his permission, I have re-worded some parts and have added in a few extra classes. These classifications are purely speculative. (Speculative? A classification scheme may be unofficial or even arbitrary, but it is not speculative.)
7) With regards to weaponry, a battery is equal to five cannons, i.e. one turbolaser battery equals five turbolaser cannons.
8) Not included in this edition are the “Ultra Heavy Turbolaser Turrets” which have in the past been the topic of discussion in the thread. Although movie evidence, the highest level of canon, shows their existence, the preponderance of RPG statistics, upon which most of the EU is based, does not acknowledge them. Until they can be incorporated into the existing statistics they will not be included in the Compendium. I suggest that this be a project for the Fleet Junkies to pursue in the near future.
9) Version 5 adds the vessels known to be in use by the Corporate Sector Authority (CSA) as well as the Harrow-class Star Destroyer and the Protector-class Heavy Cruiser. Included in the next edition will be the Mandator- and Procurator-classes.
10) Please provide as much feedback as time will allow you as this is intended to be a true group effort.
Patrol Ship – Lightly armed intra-system patrol ships designed for anti-smuggling operations. Most are incapable of hyperspace travel.
Picket Ship – A Corvette sub-class, Picket Ships are fast, lightly armed vessels equipped with lavish sensor suites. These ships are typically deployed in reconnaissance and patrol duties.
Patrol Destroyer – Similar to Picket Ships, Patrol Destroyers are fast, lightly armed warships with powerful long-range sensors. They serve as primarily as reconnaissance and long-range patrol ships.
Star Monitor – Star Monitors are essentially small vessels with big guns. They mount weaponry similar to that of far larger vessels, giving them impressive offensive abilities, but this comes at the cost of manoeuvrability and hull strength. Also, the enormous power that these weapons require, and hence the oversized reactor, means that there is little room for comforts and amenities.
Light Assault Cruiser – Light Assault Cruisers are small vessels that lack the cargo capacity of Corvettes and the firepower of Gunships. Pirates attacking lightly guarded convoys often use them as raiders.
Corvette – Corvettes are small, multi-role vessels that incorporate speed, firepower and versatility. They are prominent throughout the galaxy as they tend to be easily available and readily modifiable.
Corvette-Carrier – These vessels are simply Corvettes that have been designed or modified to carry a small number of fighters, generally between a flight (four fighters) and a squadron (twelve fighters).
Gunship – Approximate in size to Corvettes, Gunships are intended for use in heavy combat and as such mount extensive arrays of anti-starfighter and capital-scale weaponry. Most gunships are capable of engaging and threatening far larger enemies, although this comes at a cost, as gunships sacrifice cargo space and comfortable living quarters in favour of engines, armour, weaponry, and shields.
Anti-Starfighter Gunship – These Gunships are devoted solely to combating enemy starfighters, and as such mount many anti-starfighter weapon emplacements and little if any capital-scale weaponry.
Anti-Starfighter Frigate – These frigates are intended primarily for use against enemy starfighters and as such are typically equipped with extensive anti-starfighter weaponry and advanced targeting systems. These ships typically have little to no capital-scale weaponry and as such are vulnerable to larger vessels in combat.
Escort Frigate – Escort Frigates are small, well armed vessels that are equally effective against starfighters and capital ships. In addition to their armament, they tend to carry at least one squadron of their own starfighters. Most Escort Frigate classes possess powerful long-range sensors and extensive communications suites as they are often used as command ships for convoy escorts.
Torpedo Frigate –Torpedo Frigates discard the powerful communications and sensor arrays of the Escort Frigate in favour of an array of warhead launchers in addition to their laser and turbolaser cannons, giving them more of a punch against larger capital ships. They tend to carry little or no starfighters, and are instead intended solely for ship-to-ship combat.
Line Frigate – Like Torpedo Frigates, Line Frigates forego the sophisticated communication and sensor systems of Escort Frigates in favour of heavier armour, tougher shields, and more fighters. Additionally, Line Frigates mount more capital-scale weaponry, typically sacrificing some of their anti-starfighter weaponry for ion cannons. These are pure combat vessels.
Attack Frigate – Intended for a wide range of combat engagements, Attack Frigates mount a balance of capital-scale and anti-fighter weaponry. Although similar in armament to Line Frigates, Attack Frigates forgo the toughness of their cousin, instead placing an emphasis on speed and manoeuvrability.
Assault Frigate – The largest of all the frigate types, Assault Frigates are far more powerful than their smaller cousins. They feature thicker hull armour, stronger shields and more extensive weaponry. They are well armed with a balance between anti-starfighter and capital-scale weaponry, making them effective in a number of roles. Assault Frigates are capable of engaging larger vessels and holding their own.
Bulk Cruiser – These vessels are essentially cargo ships that have been armed for use in combat. They tend not to be particularly effective in battle, but are sufficiently armed to defend themselves from attack.
Light Cruiser – Armed more heavily than a frigate, but lacking the same degree of anti-fighter weaponry, Light Cruisers are used as convoy escorts, raiders, and deep space long patrol ships, in addition to helping screen heavier combatants in fleet-scale engagements. Most light cruisers carry one to two fighter squadrons, though a few classes carry as many as three or four.
Medium Cruiser – Medium Cruisers are armed with more (and heavier) capital-scale weaponry than light cruisers. While they perform much the same roles, Medium Cruisers are more capable of fighting heavier warships. They are also less used as convoy escorts, and more as patrol ships.
Heavy Cruiser – Pure combat vessels, Heavy Cruisers mount large amounts of capital and anti-fighter weaponry, in addition to carrying between two and four fighter squadrons. They fulfil a wide range of roles, from acting as convoy escorts to providing fire support for larger capital ships in battle. They also serve as command ships for taskforces of smaller warships.
Assault Cruiser – Assault Cruisers are generally larger and more heavily armoured than Heavy Cruisers and, in addition to their sizeable armament, tend to mount extensive armaments, greatly augmented by a large number of warhead launchers.
Star Cruiser – Star Cruisers are large, powerful warships that specialise in ship-to-ship combat. They are highly effective space combatants due to their combination of extensive weaponry and large starfighter complement, although this comes at a cost as they are somewhat lacking in troops, limiting their ground assault and boarding capabilities.
Star Destroyer – Star Destroyers are extremely versatile warships that are amongst the most powerful space combatants, as well as possessing large numbers of starfighters and ground troops. Star Destroyers combine all the best features of the smaller support craft but in a much more dominant, making them the centrepieces of a battlegroup.
Star Defender – Larger than the largest normal Star Destroyer or Star Cruiser, Star Defenders are similar to Super Star Destroyers in size and armament, differing mainly in their primary role. While both can serve as a fleet command ship, like the Star Cruiser, Star Defenders are intended primarily for heavy combat space combat. To that end, they are typically equipped with an abundance of capital-scale weaponry, as well as strong shields and thick armour plating.
Super Star Destroyer – Similar in size and armament to Star Defenders, Super Star Destroyers serve an additional purpose: planetary assault. Super Star Destroyers are equipped with a wide range of weapons capable of planetary bombardment, as well as carrying enormous numbers of ground assault machinery and troops. In addition to this, they are extremely well equipped for space combat and are capable of laying waste to entire taskforces.
Star Battlecruiser – Like the Star Cruiser, the Star Battlecruiser is a pure space combatant and is capable of devastating entire fleets of lesser enemy craft. These immense vessels are exceedingly expensive however and as such are quite rare.
Star Battleship – Larger and much more heavily armed than a Star Battlecruiser, the Star Battleship is functionally a pocket Star Dreadnought. These behemoths are equipped with a gargantuan number of weapons emplacements, as well as carrying inordinate numbers of starfighters, troops and ground assault machinery. Extraordinarily rare, these vessels function solely as command ships for the largest and most important fleets.
Star Dreadnought – Far larger than any other vessels, Star Dreadnoughts are the amongst the most awesome sights in the galaxy. These leviathans are capable of decimating enemy fleets and projecting political power to the farthest reaches of the galaxy. They carry a massive starfighter complement, as well as enormous numbers of troops and ground assault machinery. Despite the amazing advantages they grant, the cost involved in constructing, maintaining and operating these grand vessels means that very few are ever built.
Escort Carrier – Usually between frigates and heavy cruisers in size, Escort Carriers generally carry between three and six starfighter squadrons. With most of their space devoted to hanger bays, Escort Carriers tend to lack capital-scale weaponry and as such are extremely vulnerable to larger enemy vessels. They usually mount significant anti-starfighter defences though, which allows them to protect their launching fighters.
Assault Carrier – Assault Carriers are approximate in size to heavy cruisers and typically carry around one wing of starfighters. In addition, they mount considerable capital-scale weaponry, as well as having more powerful shields and thicker hull armour. Unlike Escort Carriers, Assault Carriers are designed to be able to hold their own somewhat in combat.
Fleet Carrier – The largest of all carriers, a Fleet Carrier generally carry around two starfighter wings. Fleet Carriers are approximate in size to Star Cruisers and are equipped with strong shields, thick armour plating and significant firepower. These vessels also function as command ships and as such are equipped with advanced communications systems.
Troop Transport – These vessels are, as the name suggests, used primarily for transporting large numbers of troops into combat. They tend to be well armoured and protected, but are generally not intended for use in fleet engagements.
Tender – Essentially a space-going warehouse, tenders are generally unarmed vessels that carry large amounts of supplies for the battlegroup to which they are attached. They tend not to be especially durable either, so are generally kept away from combat.
Interdictor Frigate – Interdictor Frigates are small vessels which mount gravity well projectors, with the primary role of functioning as interdictors. They tend to be lightly armed, mainly with anti-starfighter weaponry, and as such need to be protected when in combat.
Interdictor Cruiser – Interdictor Cruisers are medium-sized vessels which mount gravity well projectors, with the primary role of functioning as interdictors. They tend to be moderately armed, moreso than Interdictor Frigates, but are still under-gunned for their size. They often carry at least one squadron of starfighters as well, so are more viable for combat operations than their smaller counterparts.
Interdictor Star Destroyer – These vessels are often refitted Star Destroyers and are much more viable in combat than smaller interdictors. They sacrifice some of the heavier weaponry of Star Destroyers, but their gravity well projectors give them a unique combat advantage.
I suppose I don’t have to mention how later, they busted even this 4-tier scheme and basically inserted various subvarieties, many of which made it to Grin Reaper’s classification. But here it is for your enjoyment anyway.
Though capital ships can vary tremendously, certain weapons and engine and shield configurations have time and again proven themselves to be the most effective In battle. Many ships share similar characteristics, even though they may vary greatly in outward appearance.
Following are the standard Imperial classificatlons of capital ships; with some variations, these are also used by the Alliance and by many other spacefaring species. It should be noted however, that the distinction between vessel types is often muddy, and individual corporations or navies may give their ships wholly inappropriate classifications.
Starfighter
While starfighters are not capital ships, they are a critical component of the battle fleet and are listed here for completeness.
A starflghter is a one or two-man vessel designed for speed, maneuverability, and limited firepower. They are not sturdy enough to take much damage; their superior maneuverability and speed is expected to allow them to survive long enough to damage their opponents. Starfighters use swarming tactics to battle larger vessels.
Starfighters are high-performance, high-maintenance craft; they have limited ranges and carry few supplies. They must operate from bases or larger starships. Imperial starfighters are not equipped for hyperspace, but Alliance vessels are. Starfighters are described in more detail in Chapter Five, "Starfighters."
Fast Attack Vessels and Patrol Craft
Fast-attack and patrol vessels are somewhat larger than starfighters and have between four and 20 crewmembers. The two types are quite similar In design; the major difference between them is that fast-attack vessels are hyperspace- equipped, but patrol craft are not. The craft are better armed and armored than starfighters, but also usually slower and less maneuverable.
These craft are primarily employed for picket duty, or to take on armed merchanters, pirate craft, and the like. In formal engagements, they are used for defense, or to make slashing attacks against frigates and corvettes. They are too small to menace cruisers, and too unwieldy to effectively fight starfighters.
Patrol craft,and fast attack vessels also are designed to operate from bases or motherships; they rarely carry much fuel or supplies.
Corvettes
These are general-purpose vessels with crews of between 40 and 200, designed to be tough enough to withstand one or two shots from another vessel, and heavily-armed enough to take on starfighters and at least annoy frigates and cruisers. For their size, they are quite maneuverable. They are often used for systems patrol and fleet or convoy picket duty.
These vessels are hyperspace-equipped, much more durable than smaller craft, and can remain in space for months without requiring excessive maintenance or resupply.
Frigates
Frigates are larger than corvettes, much better armed, and usually slower and less maneuverable. A frigate may carry a crew numbering up to 1,000.
Frigates are designed to provide anti-starfighter and larger vessel protection for ships of the line and they also have limited offensive capabilities against the enemy’s cruisers. Many Imperial frigates carry starfighters, usually up to three squadrons.
Frigates are equipped with months of supplies and fuel.
Cruisers
With the exception of a few bizarreties such as the Death Star battle station, cruisers are the most powerful ships in space. The biggest cruiser yet built, the Super-class Star Destroyer, carrIes up to 280,000 crewmen, a staggering array of heavy weapons, shielding, and tractor beams. They are designed to take an extraordinary amount of punishment and are capable of dish. ing out extensive amounts of fire power.
Cruisers have two functions: to frighten enemies into flight or submission, and to batter other cruisers to pieces. They usually ignore starfighter attacks, leaving them to their own carried starfighters and concentrating upon blowing larger craft to bits.
Cruisers are capable of spending years in space without needing drydock or resupply and the larger cruisers can carry hundreds of starfighters into battle.
Cannon – single gun emplacement
Double/Dual Cannon – two gun emplacement
Triple Cannon – three gun emplacement
Quad Cannon – four gun emplacement
Battery – five gun emplacement
Double Battery – ten gun emplacement
Quad Battery – twenty gun emplacement
One of the few changes I’ve made to this is a massive increase in the number of hyperlinks. Whenever possible, I’ve linked you to a page on the Referenced sites potentially containing more details. Some sites do not allow hot-linking, so it might fall flat altogether. Hot-linking places severe stress on other people’s bandwidth resources, and may force them to arrange their website so it rejects all attempts to hotlink.
If anybody is really being overwhelmed by hot-linking from this page, please send me an E-mail. Make sure you Remove the DESPAM from the E-mail address. Do not hesitate. However, there is no direct hot-linking of images from this page. All pictures are internal. Thank you.

The Mansk-class Light Escort Frigate was prominent during the Galactic Civil War with Rebellion, as it is easily customisable and cheap to obtain. For such small vessels, they mount an impressive array of weaponry and feature excellent shields and hull plating. They are ideally suited to patrol duty as, in addition to their offensive abilities, they are very fast at both sublight and in hyperspace. They also feature excellent sensor packages, making them highly suitable for exploration and reconnaissance.

The CEC Republic Cruiser is the direct predecessor to the CR90 Corvette and functions primarily as a diplomatic transport. To that end, it is equipped with extensive facilities for hosting and entertaining dignitaries. As they are unarmed and lack strong hull armour, these vessels need to be kept out of combat. One One famous Republic Cruiser was the Radiant VII which was a veteran of 34 years of service in the diplomatic corps of Coruscant itself.

The fast and deadly DP20 Gunship is one of the few CEC military designs. Engines fill more than half the interior of the small vessel, while weapons emplacements take up most of the rest. The turbolasers and concussion missiles make it a threat to larger capital ships, while the quad laser cannons make it an effective anti-starfighter platform. Given the ship’s mission profile, the majority of the crew is comprised of gunners. These vessels are often deployed in packs for screening and escort duty and saw extensive action during the Galactic Civil War, primarily with the Rebellion.

The CR90 Corvette is one of the most versatile and enduring designs in the galaxy. They serve in innumerate capacities, ranging from freighters to troop transports and passenger liners to warships. They saw extensive action for the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War, as they were highly effective and easily affordable. As the Alliance built and acquired larger and more powerful vessels, the Corvette was reduced to more of a support role. They still see service, generally as pickets or escorts. A prominent example is the Tantive IV used by Princess Leia to escape from Toprawa with the plans for the original Death Star.

The Adz-class was conceived as a fast patrol ship for use in the outlying regions of the galaxy, and was introduced shortly after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Capable of making 0.55 past lightspeed and mounting a decent armament, the [i]Adz[/i]-class is a highly effective vessel that sees active service primarily in the Imperial Remnant.

The CEC CR90a Corvette, colloquially known as an [i]Assassin[/i]-class Corvette, was introduced during the Galactic Civil War as a more dedicated combat vessel. The extensive cargo space in the base model CR90 has been all but removed and is replaced by a small hanger capable of holding six starfighters. In addition, two tractor beam projectors have been added as well as thicker hull plating. While still relatively cheap to obtain, the Assassin Corvette is more suited for combat operations than its predecessor.

The CEC Y-Head Corvette is an old design that, in the spirit of most Corellian designs, incorporates reliability, speed and comfort. It performs a somewhat similar role to a CR90 Corvette, though is slightly larger and more powerful. It mounts a more sizeable armament than its smaller cousin, as well as having stronger shields and thicker hull plating. In addition, a single side hanger carries six starfighters. These vessels were quite prominent in the Rebel Alliance fleet during the Galactic Civil War, with several of them fighting at the Battle of Endor.
[b]Republic Engineering Corporation [i]Agave[/i]-class Picket Ship [/b] (CTD)
Length: 190 metres
Designation: Picket Ship
Crew: 28
Troop Capacity: 5
Cargo Capacity: 500 metric tons
Consumables: 3 months
Shield Rating: 220 SBD
Hull Rating: 180 RU
Starfighter Complement: None
Weapons:
2 Turbolaser Cannons
4 Laser Cannons
The [i]Agave[/i]-class Picket was introduced as part of the New Class program and functions primarily as a reconnaissance vessel. They are often sent ahead of the main battlegroup to scout and report back to group commander and are capable of fast hyperspace jumps with minimal warm-up time. Although they are sufficiently armed to handle a standard patrol, if detected they generally flee to safety as quickly as possible. A prominent example is the [i]Folna[/i] which fought during the Yevethan war.

Starfighter Complement: None
Weapons:
10 Turbolaser Cannons
8 Laser Cannons
4 Concussion Missile Tubes
Another of the New Class designs, the [i]Warrior[/i]-class Gunship is a powerfully armed vessel. Its turbolasers and concussion missile launchers make it a serious threat to capital ships, while it is also adequately armed to fend off starfighter attacks. They are used primarily to punch through and break up enemy formations. Prominent examples are the [i]Warrior[/i] and the [i]Vanguard[/i] which fought in the Yevethan war.

Crew: 177
Troop Capacity: 80
Cargo Capacity: 300 metric tons
Consumables: 3 months
Shield Rating: 405 SBD
Hull Rating: 180 RU
Starfighter Complement: 12 starfighters = 1 squadron
Weapons:
8 Double Turbolaser Cannons
3 Tractor Beam Projectors
The Marauder Corvette was introduced during the days of the Old Republic and served in a wide variety of roles, from convoy escort to patrol ship. After the Republic decided there was no longer a place in its navy for the Marauder, the Corporate Sector Authority made an offer to purchase a large number of these vessels. Although ageing, these vessels are still prevalent throughout the Corporate Sector and are often used to supplement the firepower of Victory Star Destroyers and Invincible Dreadnaughts. The Marauder’s unique design, which causes it to look more like an oversized starfighter than a capital ship, allows it to be highly effective in atmosphere as well. A number of these vessels were used by the Rebellion during the Civil War as they were cheap and easy to obtain.

Starfighter Complement: 12 starfighters = 1 squadron
Weapons:
8 Heavy Turbolaser Cannons
6 Laser Cannons
2 Tractor Beam Projectors
Introduced at the beginning of the New Order, the Bayonet Light Cruiser was considered somewhat outdated for front line combat by the Battle of Yavin. Nonetheless, it mounts an impressive armament for its size, with the heavy turbolasers allowing it to engage much larger vessels and the laser cannons making it effective against enemy starfighters. After its relegation from the front lines, the Imperial Navy deployed it extensively throughout the Outer Rim.

[b]Kuat Drive Yards [i]Pursuit[/i]-class Light Cruiser[/b] (K7)
Length: 215 metres

Crew: 220
Troop Capacity: 80
Cargo Capacity: 450 metric tons
Consumables: 1 year
Shield Rating: 450 SBD
Hull Rating: 210 RU
Starfighter Complement: 12 starfighters = 1 squadron
Weapons:
2 Heavy Turbolaser Cannons
6 Laser Cannons
1 Tractor Beam Projector
The [i]Pursuit[/i]-class Light Cruiser was introduced in the early days of the Empire and functions primarily as a monitor. This small vessel was intended to be able to successfully engage larger vessels and as such is quite heavily armed for its size. Its two heavy turbolasers are the same as those mounted on the enormous Imperial Star Destroyers and make the Pursuit Light Cruiser an extremely dangerous vessel. A major drawback to the design is that most of the weapons are limited to forward firing arcs. This leaves it vulnerable to faster, more manoeuvrable ships that are able to get in behind it. In addition to the heavy weaponry, it is also very effective against attacking starfighters. It also has the capacity to carry a squadron of its own starfighters, rounding out the capabilities of this powerful little ship.

Starfighter Complement: None
Weapons:
6 Turbolaser Cannons
8 Quad Laser Cannons
The Merkuni Drives [i]Trenchant[/i]-class Cruiser dates back to the days of the Old Republic and is not especially plentiful. It is extremely underarmed for its size, with far smaller vessels easily outgunning it. Not especially fast or durable, these small ships are quite vulnerable against enemy capital ships. However, due to their eight quad laser cannons, they are very well equipped to fend off starfighter attacks. They are still used by the Empire in limited roles, but have otherwise disappeared from the galaxy.

Weapons:
2 Heavy Turbolaser Cannons
10 Quad Laser Cannons
4 Concussion Missile Tubes
1 Tractor Beam Projector
One of the newest vessels in the Republic fleet, the [i]Ranger[/i]-class is one of the most effective anti-starfighter platforms in the galaxy, while also adequately armed to take on larger capital vessels. During the war with Yuuzhan Vong the [i]Ranger[/i]-class saw extensive action and proved extremely adept at breaking up formations of coralskippers. A prominent example is the [i]Ranger[/i] which fought against the Yuuzhan Vong during the attempted retaking of Bilbringi.

15 Double Turbolaser Cannons
12 Quad Laser Cannons
8 Ion Cannons
8 Concussion Missile Tubes
The DP50 Heavy Gunship was introduced by CEC as a capital ship escort and as such is equipped with a far more extensive armament than its smaller cousin. The addition of ion cannons and an increased warhead complement make them a serious threat to larger capital ships, while the dozen quad laser cannons ensure they remain an effective anti-starfighter platform. Never extremely common, these vessels are nonetheless highly effective in their intended role. Prominent examples include the four gunships assigned to protect Admiral Ackbar’s [i]Galactic Voyager[/i].

The [i]Lancer[/i]-class Frigate was designed by Kuat Drive Yards as a dedicated anti-starfighter platform following the Battle of Yavin. Their twenty quad laser cannons utilise the most sophisticated targeting software in the galaxy, making them extremely effective against attacking starfighters. However, their lack of capital scale weaponry, weak shields and weak hull make them vulnerable to larger vessels and they rely on other capital ships for protection. As such, they are often deployed in flanking formation with Imperial Star Destroyers, with the Star Destroyers protecting the Lancers from other capital ships and the Lancers protecting the Star Destroyers from starfighters. They were retired from service after decades of action, but were recommissioned during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion when the New Republic experienced a shortage of capital ships. A prominent example is the [i]Pride of Selonia[/i] which was commanded by Captain Todra Mayn during the Yuuzhan Vong war.

The CC-9600 Frigate was introduced after the successes of the CC-7700 Frigate and was intended for use as a front line warship and to that end is heavily armed and armoured. Smaller than the CC-7700, it features an impressive array of turbolasers and ion cannons, making it a highly effective line combat vessel. The CC-9600 doesn’t carry any starfighters or shuttles, and instead devotes this space to extra hull plating, shield generators and weapons. These vessels were commonly used by the Rebellion during the Galactic Civil War, but have since disappeared almost entirely from service.

Designated as a Line Frigate, the Corona-class was introduced just prior to the New Class program and is intended for close combat. Designed as an eventual replacement to the highly successful Nebulon-B Escort Frigate, the Corona Frigate provides close line fire support and anti-starfighter cover for cruisers and Star Destroyers. Prominent examples include the [i]Boldheart[/i] which was crippled by the Teljkon Vagabond, as well as the [i]Endor[/i] and the [i]Shooting Star[/i], the two of which catastrophically collided destroying both vessels.

In the early days of the Rebellion, these Frigates served as the primary combat cruisers and command ships of the diminutive Rebel fleet. They were originally built by Kuat Drive Yards on Imperial contracts to work against Rebel starfighters, but many of these ships were captured or defected to the Alliance. Later, as the Rebels acquired larger ships, Nebulon-B’s were reassigned to serve in medical, reconnaissance, command, and search-and-rescue roles. Nebulon-B’s still serve the GFFA in escort and anti-starfighter roles. A prominent example is the [i]Yavaris[/i] which was used General Antilles’ flagship during the taking of Maw Installation.

The [i]Quasar Fire[/i]-class Carrier is a highly modified version of the SoroSuub Corporation [i]Quasar Fire[/i]-class Bulk Cruiser. They carry four squadrons of starfighters but are lightly armed, requiring escort and protection from their starfighters and other capital ships. As they are individually modified vessels, no set of stock specifications exists, however the above armament is the heaviest known. Prominent examples include the [i]Thurse[/i] from the Yuuzhan Vong war and the [i]Flurry[/i] which was commanded by Luke Skywalker during the Battle of Bakura.

The [i]Carrack[/i]-class Light Cruiser is an old but proven design that, after appearing around a century before the start of the Clone Wars, still serves in both the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant. It is extremely well armed for a vessel its size but this comes at a cost, as there is no hanger space. Four starfighters can be carried on external racks but there is no room for additional support craft. The twenty laser cannons make it highly effective against starfighters, however these may be replaced with twenty ion cannons, making it highly effective against larger capital ships. A prominent example of this versatile design is the [i]Dominant[/i] from the Battle of Bakura.

The New Class vessels were constructed with minimal space for consumables, devoting that space instead to weaponry, hull plating, shield generators and starfighters. The [i]Hajen[/i]-class Fleet Tender was designed to function as a “flying warehouse”, carrying all the supplies needed to keep a fleet operational. Not exceptionally durable and unarmed, the Fleet Tenders require escorts for protection when entering hostile territory. A prominent example is the [i]Ahazi[/i] which was destroyed during the Yevethan war.

Loronar Defence Industries introduced the [i]Strike[/i]-class Cruiser as a highly customisable, easily mass-produced vessel. The Strike Cruiser featured a highly modular design, allowing it to be adapted to suit any mission profile. As such, these vessels serve effectively in a number of capacities, from troop transports to starfighter carriers. Introduced before the Battle of Yavin, these vessels still see service throughout the galaxy.

The primary warship of the Hapans is the small but extremely powerful Battle Dragon. Composed of two saucers connected by a central core, the Battle Dragon mounts almost one hundred weapons, allowing it to successfully engage far larger vessels in combat. The saucer configuration allows for the turbolasers to be rotated around the hull. In addition to the sizable number of conventional weapons, the Battle Dragon can also generate pulse mass mines, which function in a similar way to gravity well projectors. During the war with the Yuuzhan Vong the Hapans deployed many of these vessels to assist the Galactic Alliance. There are 63 red-hued Battle Dragons in service at any one time, one for each of the life-giving worlds in the Hapes Consortium.

The KDY Demolisher Frigate is somewhat similar in appearance to the newer Imperial Star Destroyers, but is far smaller. The Demolisher is equipped with a single hanger located at the prow of the ship, effectively splitting the bow into two dagger-like mandibles. Intended for close combat, the Demolisher mounts a considerable armament and is more than capable of successfully engaging larger capital ships. It is designated as frigate however, as it is also equipped with twenty laser cannons, making it highly effective against enemy fighters. Demolishers tend to be deployed in line or flanking formation with other capital vessels and are ideal for fleet engagements.

Dating back to the days of the Old Republic, Bulk Cruisers were prominent in the Rebel Alliance as they were cheap and easily available. The Battle Horn is a variant of the [i]Neutron Star[/i]-class Bulk Cruiser that has been modified for combat operations. The Rebels refitted many of these vessels as starfighter carriers as their lack of capital scale weaponry renders them somewhat ineffective in combat. A prominent example is the [i]Urjani[/i] which was destroyed at the Battle of Endor.

Starfighter Complement: 24 starfighters = 2 squadrons
Weapons:
20 Quad Laser Cannons
4 Gravity Well Projectors
The SFS Immobiliser-418 Interdictor came into service several months after the Battle of Yavin and is built on the hull of a Vindicator-class Heavy Cruiser. However, it sacrifices almost all the Vindicator’s weaponry for four gravity well projectors. When activated, these projectors create an artificial gravity well, preventing hyperspace travel in the area. Interdictors have been used with devastating effect by Imperial commanders such as Grand Admiral Thrawn, and the GADF now incorporates several of these vessels. The major drawback to the Immobiliser-418 is its lack of capital scale weaponry, causing it to be reliant on escorts for protection in combat. A prominent example is the [i]Corusca Rainbow[/i] which fought in the first Battle of Coruscant.

The Dreadnaughts came into service during the days of the Old Republic and were amongst the largest and most powerful vessels in the Old Republic Navy. Although moderately armed, the Dreadnaught is sluggish in both hyperspace and sublight, and the hull and shields are weak for a ship of its size. As they make little to no use of droids, Dreadnaughts required over 16 000 crew. Regardless of these shortcomings, Dreadnaughts were plentiful throughout the Imperial Navy and also saw service with the Rebellion, who captured and refitted a number of these ships as “Assault Frigates”. Prominent examples include the [i]Reprisal[/i] which was part of Warlord Zsinj’s fleet and General Bel Iblis’ [i]Peregrine[/i] which was part of the lost Katana fleet.

The Rendili StarDrive [i]Protector[/i]-class Heavy Cruiser was introduced into the Imperial Navy shortly before the Battle of Endor and was intended as an eventual replacement for the ageing Dreadnaughts. Featuring a completely different design to its predecessor, the Protector is far more streamlined and features a significantly reduced crew. The firepower of the Protector has also been increased compared to the older Dreadnaught, and the underpowered turbolaser cannons have been replaced by ion cannons. Designed primarily to protect convoys and serve as planetary defense ships, the Protector carries far less soldiers that its predecessor, but features stronger shielding. Although the Empire prefers the more powerful SFS Vindicator Cruiser, the more cost effective Protector has taken up a small niche in the Imperial Navy especially in the Outer Rim systems.

The SFS Imperial Research Carrier was designed as a mobile research facility that would allow the Empire to field test prototype starfighters and observe them firsthand. These vessels were extremely uncommon, with only a few dozen ever constructed. The Research Carrier is well armed to ensure that neither its valuable data nor precious starfighters are captured, and is equipped with highly advanced communications systems so that all research can be transferred immediately in case of emergency. The ship features eight massive hangers arrayed around the hull, allowing it to launch and recover fighters remarkably quickly. Since the decline of the Empire, most of these single-engine vessels have disappeared from service, although a very small number have survived in the Imperial Remnant.

The [i]Dodonna[/i]-class Assault Frigate was created when a number of Dreadnaughts were captured and heavily modified to increase efficiency and reduce operational expenses. Much of the superstructure was removed and a tail of vertical manoeuvring fins was added to the stern, as well as large-scale droid automation, drastically reducing the crew needs. This came at the cost of internal space, curtailing the number of troops and removing the starfighter capacity. The new vessel was intended for use as a front line warship and as such is capable of successfully engaging larger enemies. Proliferate during the early days of the New Republic, these vessels are quite outdated and consequently rare by the time of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. A prominent example is the class namesake [i]Dodonna[/i] which was part of the task force commanded by General Antilles when Durga the Hutt attempted to create his own Death Star.

The [i]Stanchion[/i]-class Assault Carrier was manufactured in limited numbers by Kuat Drive Yards and was introduced around the same time as the Battle of Yavin. Outwardly similar to the Nebulon-B Escort Frigate, although over twice as large, the Stanchion Assault Carriers were intended for use as command ships, and as such feature extensive communications systems and sensors. Although not extremely well armed, they are more than capable of protecting themselves in combat. They also have the capacity to comfortably house six starfighter squadrons, a number that may be increased to as many as eight squadrons if necessary. A prominent example is the prototype and class namesake [i]Kalla’s Stanchion[/i], which was stolen by the Rebellion shortly after it was completed and served as the flagship of Rebel leader Mon Mothma.

The REC [i]Defender[/i]-class Assault Carrier was introduced as part of the ill-fated Defender project that was later absorbed into the New Class program. The Defender project involved three ships – a starfighter, a carrier which would serve as a mothership for the starfighter and a star destroyer which would serve as an escort for the carrier. Despite its origins, very few DACs carry any Defender starfighters. The first incarnations of the carrier were designed solely as starfighter platforms and as such were not equipped with any heavy guns, relying on anti-fighter laser cannons. As a result of this meagre armament, these vessels are extremely vulnerable to enemy capital ships and consequently rely heavily on escorts for protection in combat. Regardless, the entire wing that the Defender carries greatly augments the starfighter complement of any battlegroup, which was the principal reason for its inception. Prominent examples include the [i]Repulse[/i] and the [i]Shield[/i] which fought in the Yevethan war.

The [i]Defender[/i]-class Assault Carrier Mark II was introduced approximately five years after its predecessor and featured a far more extensive armament, as well as stronger shielding and thicker hull plating. The addition of fifteen turbolaser batteries allowed the Defender Carrier to hold its own somewhat against other capital vessels, but it was still reliant on its escorts for protection. The Mark II gradually began to replace the antecedent Mark I, but after the Bastion Accords and the official end to the Galactic Civil War, the New Class program was scaled back and only a limited number remain in service.

The KDY Class II Frigate, commonly referred to as the Imperial Assault Frigate, was introduced around the same time as the Battle of Yavin and was used throughout the Empire, primarily for patrol duties. The basic design is similar to the old [i]Acclamator[/i]-class Troop Transport in that it shares the same classic wedge shape. However, the Class II Frigate carries a very small number of troops, instead devoting that space to an impressive six starfighter squadrons, one of which is usually comprised of Assault Gunboats. The Class II Frigate was introduced due to the Imperial Navy’s distaste for the ugly [i]Prowler[/i]-class Escort Carrier, and has become an integral part of the fleet. Prominent examples include the [i]Rand Ecliptic[/i] which was hijacked by Rebel defector Biggs Darklighter and the [i]Widowmaker[/i] which disappeared in the Unknown Regions while searching for the living world Zonama Sekot.

The Rothana Heavy Engineering [i]Acclamator[/i]-class Assault Ship was introduced at the beginning of the Clone Wars and was designed specifically to carry the Republic’s Clone Army. The Acclamator bears the distinctive wedge design shared by future vessels such as Imperial Star Destroyers, however unlike its successors it is capable of planetary entry and landing. In addition to its enormous troop capacity, the Acclamator is extremely well armed and is capable of delivering a devastating assault on any ship it comes up against. Acclamators were still in use during the Galactic Civil War and even as late as the Yuuzhan Vong war.

The CEC [i]Proficient[/i]-class is a heavily modified civilian bulk transport that was used as a warship during the Yuuzhan Vong war. Due to the shortage of available capital ships, the New Republic was forced to resort to using refitted civilian vessels and recommissioning retired designs. In much the same way that the [i]Quasar Fire[/i]- and [i]Neutron Star[/i]-class Bulk Cruisers were given heavier armaments and thicker hull plating, as well as equipped with stronger shield generators and military hangar bays, the Proficient became a combat vessel. Even with the extensive modifications however, the [i]Proficient[/i]-class is very lightly armed for its size, and is only capable of carrying one starfighter squadron. A prominent example of this design is the [i]Soothfast[/i] which fought during the Yuuzhan Vong war.

The Bothan Assault Cruiser was designed shortly after the Bastion Peace Accords with the Empire and is the first major capital ship built by the Bothans. The project was met with much criticism as it was felt that the expenditure involved would be better served rebuilding the worlds shattered during the Galactic Civil War, but the Bothans continued the project regardless. Comparable to a Victory Star Destroyer in size, many of these vessels are currently in service. The BAC features an extensive array of heavy weaponry, making it a real threat in combat, as well as carrying four squadrons of starfighters. As the BAC has both dorsal and ventral hangers, starfighters can be launched and recovered at twice the normal rate. A prominent example is Supreme Commander Kre’Fay’s flagship the [i]Ralroost[/i].

After the terrifying invasion of their system by the reptilian Ssi-ruuk, the Bakurans constructed three Star Destroyers to facilitate the defence of their planet. To this end, the Star Destroyers were given befitting their mission profile, [i]Watchkeeper, Sentinel[/i] and [i]Defender[/i]. These vessels, approximate in size to Victory Star Destroyer, are as heavily armed as an Imperial Star Destroyer Mark I and feature strong shielding and thick hull plating. In addition, they carry two squadrons of starfighters rounding out their impressive capabilities. The power plants of these formidable vessels was based on the ISDII, although the exterior is far more fluid than the angular Imperial vessels. The three aforementioned Star Destroyers were loaned to the New Republic when Thracken Sal-Solo seized control of the Corellian System, fourteen years after the Battle of Endor. The destruction of one these Star Destroyers as well as the Bakuran Light Cruiser [i]Intruder[/i], caused many Bakurans to become acrimonious toward the Republic.

First appearing near the end of the Clone Wars, Walex Blissex’s [i]Victory[/i]-class Star Destroyer is one of the most successful warship designs in history. Until the advent of the Imperial Star Destroyer, the VSD was considered the ultimate warship. In addition to their considerable combat abilities, VSDs were capable of landing on a planetary surface, a capability not offered by many ships of that size. Although originally intended for planetary defence and assault, VSDs are highly efficient in fleet engagements. These vessels were still seeing active duty during the Yuuzhan Vong war and are particularly prevalent in the Corporate Sector, where 250 of these vessels were purchased for sector defence. Prominent examples are the [i]Corusca Fire[/i] and [i]Selonian Fire[/i].

The CSA Victory Star Destroyer came about when the Empire decommissioned 520 of its Victory Star Destroyers from the 27th Denarian Fleet to accommodate the new, larger and more powerful Imperial Star Destroyer. The CSA purchased 250 of these vessels, albeit with the weapons removed, for use in its navy. After purchasing weaponry from a third party and installing on their new warships, the CSA had an impressive Picket Fleet with which to guard and police its territory. While not as heavily armed as their original incarnations, the CSA VSD retains the impressive shield and hull strength, and remains a formidable vessel.

The [i]Harrow[/i]-class Star Destroyer is an extremely rare vessel that saw limited service during the Galactic Civil War. After the introduction of the Kuat Drive Yards [i]Imperator[/i]-class Star Destroyer, Rendili StarDrive realised that their Clone Wars-era [i]Victory[/i]-class was likely to be supplanted. This led to a joint venture between KDY and RSD to design and manufacture a Star Destroyer that would share the design elements of both vessels. As KDY had already secured the contracts for its Imperial Star Destroyer, this vessel would fulfil a different role in the Imperial Navy. The Harrow was intended as a heavy support vessel for the ISD that would be easily and cost-effectively mass-produced than its larger cousin. This 900 metre vessel features a heavier armament than its predecessors, as well as a larger, ISD-style hangar that has the capacity for four starfighter squadrons. Despite the improvements, the Harrow never became popular in the Imperial Navy. The performance of the ISD surpassed all expectations, and the mile-long vessel became the main front-line warship of the Empire. With the successes of the ISD, KDY lost interest in the Harrow project and withdrew from it. The first vessel of this class was the HIMS [i]Harrow[/i] which was placed under the command of Captain Semtin.

The [i]Namana[/i]-class Light Cruiser was designed and constructed by the Bakurans after their planet was liberated from the Ssi-Ruuvi. It is designated as a light cruiser as it is quite lightly armed, especially when compared to its sibling [i]Bakura[/i]-class Star Destroyers. It is intended primarily as a command ship and as such is equipped with state-of-the-art communications systems and sensors. In addition, this revolutionary vessel was the first to break through an interdiction field, using a hyperwave inertial momentum sustainer (HIMS) system. The [i]Intruder[/i], which was loaned to the New Republic when Thracken Sal-Solo seized control of Centrepoint Station and was subsequently destroyed was a [i]Namana[/i]-class vessel.

The [i]Defender[/i]-class Star Destroyer was a prototype for what eventually became the Nebula Star Destroyer and was, for its size, the most heavily armed and armoured vessel known in the galaxy. They were designed to be able to successfully engage Imperial Star Destroyers, despite being only 65% as large and as such were extremely overpowered. In addition, five squadrons of starfighters were stationed aboard a DSD, only one squadron short of a full wing. This came at a cost as the DSD was essentially overpowered for a ship its size. Despite having the newest, most powerful reactor available, the fact remained that a ship of this size wasn’t meant to be able to support all those weapons, mount such powerful shield generators and thick hull plating and house that many starfighters. After the DSD project was abandoned, the [i]Nebula[/i]-class Star Destroyer, essentially the same but carrying only five months consumables and three starfighter squadrons was commissioned.

The [i]Nebula[/i]-class was introduced as part of the New Class program and is regarded as one of the most powerful vessels in the New Republic fleet. Also known as a “pocket star destroyer”, the Nebula-class was intended for use as a frontline warship, often protecting carriers and other vulnerable ships in a fleet group. To that end it features shields and hull plating stronger than vessels far larger than it. The Nebula Star Destroyer was introduced after the Defender Star Destroyer project was abandoned and was almost identical to its predecessor, apart from it carrying half the starfighters and less supplies. Prominent examples are the [i]Brilliant[/i] which was part of the Coruscant Home Defence Fleet and the [i]Resolve[/i] which was part of the Fifth Fleet under the command of General A’Baht.

The [i]Endurance[/i]-class Fleet Carriers were introduced as part of the New Class program and are intended as command ships. While the Empire chose to centre its fleet around the awesome Imperial Star Destroyers, the New Republic made a decision to centre its much smaller military around its starfighter carriers. The centrepiece of any New Class fleet and the ultimate expression of this change in military theory, the [i]Endurance[/i]-class carries two full wings of starfighters into combat. Despite this, it has an exceedingly poor armament for its size, creating an intense vulnerability to other capital vessels. This is an accepted drawback to the design however, and the primary role of the Nebula Star Destroyer is to serve as an escort and protector for the Endurance. Prominent examples include the prototype [i]Endurance[/i] which was destroyed in the battle with Imperial Admiral Pellaeon at Orinda and the [i]Intrepid[/i] which served as the flagship for the Fifth Fleet under the command of General A’Baht.

After the initial and ultimately unsuccessful introduction of the Defender and Endurance Carriers, the New Republic decided to commission more combat-viable variants of the designs. The original incarnations, which were hurried off the production lines, were too vulnerable to enemy capital ships, and the constant need for escort and protection was a drain on the resources of a battlegroup. Consequently, the Endurance Fleet Carrier Mark II and the Defender Assault Carrier Mark II were introduced into the NR Navy. Featuring stronger shields, thicker hull plating and a much more extensive armament the Endurance Mark II was a far superior vessel. In addition to the far more significant combat abilities of the Mark II, it retained the impressive twelve starfighter squadrons as well as the one and a half divisions of troops.

20 Ion Cannons
This impressive vessel, which shared many of its lines with the Acclamator Assault Ship, was widely used by the Republic during the Clone Wars and is a premier warship. Featuring extensive turbolaser and ion cannons, as well as strong shielding and thick hull plating, the Venator Star Destroyer is a pure combat vessel. After the conclusion of the Clone Wars, the Venator was phased out of service in favour of the newer, larger and more powerful Imperial Star Destroyer.

Originally a civilian liner, the MC80 was introduced during the Galactic Civil War when the Mon Calamari decided to join the Rebellion. In converting these vessels for combat, the Mon Calamari added thicker hull plating and shielding, as well as a sizeable weapons complement. These vessels were renowned for their strong and highly redundant shielding systems, making them extremely hard to kill. A prominent example is the legendary [i]Liberty[/i] which was destroyed by the Death Star II at the Battle of Endor.

Identical to the MC80 in every way except hull structure, the MC80a was one of the most plentiful vessels in the New Republic fleet. It was gradually replaced by the MC90s and New Class and now sees only limited action. A prominent example is the [i]Naritus[/i] which participated in the search for survivors after the World Devastator attack on Mon Calamari.

The MC80b was an interim design between the MC80/MC80a and the MC90 and was introduced six months after the Battle of Endor. The first incarnations were essentially upgrades of the converted liners, featuring stronger shields and thicker hull plating, as well as the ability to carry an extra squadron of starfighters. Later versions were able to carry up to eight squadrons of starfighters, while retaining the same weapons loadout. The turbolaser batteries are grouped into banks of twelve and the 20 ion cannons are grouped in banks of four, allowing intense fire to be brought against a target. The MC80b continued to serve right through the war with the Yuuzhan Vong, distinguishing itself in combat. Prominent examples include the legendary [i]Mon Remonda[/i] which was commanded by General Han Solo during the hunt for Warlord Zsinj and the [i]Mon Adapyne[/i] which served as General Keyan Farlander’s flagship during the Yuuzhan Vong war.

The [i]Republic[/i]-class Star Destroyer was designed by Walex Blissex, the designer of the original [i]Victory[/i]-class Star Destroyer, and was intended to replace the Imperial Star Destroyer in the New Republic Navy. Two Republic Star Destroyers can be produced for the same cost as one Imperial Star Destroyer, while requiring only one fifth the crew and retaining over 85% of the firepower of an ISDII. The [i]Republic[/i]-class also carries four starfighter squadrons and 3 200 troops. For some unknown reason however, these vessels never saw extensive production and as such are somewhat uncommon in the GFFA.

The MC90, which appeared in service for the New Republic six years after the Battle of Endor, was the first dedicated warship design from the Mon Calamari. Despite being only slightly larger than its predecessors, it is far more heavily armed and carries a larger complement of starfighters and ground forces. Designed to be able to engage and defeat Imperial Star Destroyers, the MC90 remains one of the most powerful vessels in the New Republic fleet. Prominent examples include the prototype [i]Defiance[/i] and the [i]Galactic Voyager[/i], both of which served as the flagship for Supreme Commander Ackbar during the Galactic Civil War.

The [i]Imperator[/i]-class Star Destroyer is the design that revolutionised the warship market and formed the core of the Imperial Navy. Designed by Lira Wessex, the daughter of the designer of the famous [i]Victory[/i]-class Star Destroyers, the ISD was intended to be the symbol of the Galactic Empire and is rightfully feared throughout the galaxy. Its significant weaponry and shielding make it an immensely powerful front-line battleship, but it also carries six starfighter squadrons and an entire division of troops making it a very well rounded design. The design endured for decades after its introduction and it still sees widespread use, particularly in the Imperial Remnant. Prominent examples include the [i]Devastator[/i] which for a time served as Lord Vader’s flagship and the [i]Right to Rule[/i] which was Grand Admiral Pellaeon’s flagship during the latter part of the Yuuzhan Vong war.

When the Rebellion captured two Imperial Star Destroyers at the Battle of Endor, they refitted them to be more suited to their needs. The crew was reduced by almost ten thousand and the troop capacity was cut by over a thousand, while proton torpedo launchers were added at the expense of the tractor beam projectors. Prominent examples include the [i]Emancipator[/i] which was destroyed by the World Devastator Silencer-7 at the first Battle of Mon Calamari and the [i]Liberator[/i] which crashed into the surface of Coruscant when the New Republic retook the Galactic Capital from the Reborn Emperor Palpatine.

The ISD II was introduced after the Battle of Yavin as an upgrade of the ISD I and featured thicker hull plating, stronger shielding and a much heavier armament. These vessels steadily replaced the ISD Mark I as the main ship of the line in the Imperial Navy and are still in production during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, thirty years after their introduction. Prominent examples include the legendary [i]Chimaera[/i] which was the flagship of Grand Admiral Thrawn and later Grand Admiral Pellaeon and the [i]Avenger[/i] which was part of Death Squadron, the group of Star Destroyers under the command of Lord Vader which searched for the hidden Rebel base leading up to the Battle of Hoth.

4 Gravity Well Projectors
The [i]Dominator[/i]-class Star Destroyer was introduced shortly after the Battle of Yavin as Kuat Drive Yards’ answer to Sienar Fleet Systems’ Immobiliser-418 Interdictor Cruiser. It is built on the hull of an [i]Imperator[/i]-class Star Destroyer, but mounts four external gravity well projectors. When activated, these projectors create an artificial gravity well, preventing hyperspace travel in the area. These projectors however weaken the hull and the immense power requirements result in reduced shield power, while the compacted hanger now houses only four starfighter squadrons. Despite these tradeoffs, the [i]Dominator[/i]-class is far better equipped to engage enemy vessels than the Immobiliser-418, greatly reducing the need for escorts. Prominent examples include the prototype [i]Dominator[/i] and [i]Binder[/i] which was part of Prince-Admiral Delak Krennel’s Hegemony.

The [i]Rejuvenator[/i]-class Star Destroyer first appeared during the Yuuzhan Vong war during which it distinguished itself. It is built on the hull of an Imperial Star Destroyer, but like the Dominator Star Destroyer, mounts four gravity well projectors. These projectors come at the cost of reduced weapons, shielding and hull plating, but make the Rejuvenator Star Destroyer one of the most well rounded designs in the GADF. Prominent examples are the [i]Mon Mothma[/i] which served as General Wedge Antilles’ flagship during the Yuuzhan Vong war, the [i]Elegos A’Kla[/i] which also served during the Yuuzhan Vong war and the [i]Bail Organa[/i] which was General Garm Bel Iblis’ flagship when the Yuuzhan Vong captured Coruscant.

Forming a large part of the CSA Picket Fleet, these mammoth vessels are widely used throughout the Corporate Sector. The CSA originally introduced these three thousand year old vessels as they were easy to obtain, but have since proved to be highly effective against pirates and smugglers. The weapons systems and deflector shields have been substantially upgraded, but these ancient ships are still vastly inferior to modern warships. With the addition of newer vessels such as Victory Star Destroyers, the weaknesses of the Invincible Dreadnaughts have been somewhat offset and they remain in active service throughout the Corporate Sector.

The [i]Allegiance[/i]-class is similar to an Imperial Star Destroyer in appearance but is far larger. They generally serve as command ships and as such are heavily armed and outfitted with extensive communications equipment. In addition, the Allegiance retains the ISD’s full division of troops. However, though larger than an ISD, the Allegiance lacks the extensive hangar capacity of its smaller cousin. As such, the Allegiance carries only four squadrons of starfighters. Prominent examples include the namesake [i]Allegiance[/i] which was destroyed at the first Battle of Mon Calamari and the [i]Shockwave[/i] which was the flagship of Supreme Warlord Harrsk.

Amongst the most powerful vessels in the New Republic Navy, the Mediator Battle Cruiser represented the pinnacle of Mon Calamari ship design and began to appear around fifteen years after the Battle of Endor. Like the MC90, these vessels were constructed to the same specifications, a change from earlier Mon Cal designs where each ship was unique in design. A prominent example is the namesake [i]Mediator[/i] which was heavily damaged by the Praetoriate Vong right at the beginning of the Yuuzhan Vong war.

Created when the Neimoidian-controlled Trade Federation converted a number of their LH-3210 Container Ships into Battleships, these immense vessels formed the backbone of the Separatist Navy during the Clone Wars. The prevalence of these vessels as cargo ships throughout the galaxy mean that little was suspected when the Trade Federation began arming them. The massive cargo holds were modified for use as hangars, giving the Lucrehulk the capacity for an amazing 125 squadrons of droid starfighters. The central core of these vessels is capable of detaching from the outer arms and landing on a planetary surface. Although slow, they are heavily shielded and feature extremely strong hull armour. In addition to the impressive defences, 42 quad turbolaser batteries were added to the ship, making it a dangerous vessel in combat. These weapons were designed to retract when not in use, hiding them from view. These monstrous vessels also 139 000 battle droids, an overwhelming ground force. After the conclusion of the Clone Wars the Lucrehulk Battleship was regarded as being beyond obsolete in the new Galactic Empire and as such disappeared from service. The Corporate Sector Authority purchased a large number of these vessels however, and they remain in active duty there.

The ageing Bulwark Battlecruiser found acceptance with the Rebellion during the Galactic Civil War where it was typically used as a mobile command base. Given its sheer size and heavy armament, as well as the capacity for four thousand troops and ten starfighter squadrons, it is ideal for large-scale operations. Unfortunately however, it is plagued by unreliable electronics and sensors, resulting in very few of these vessels remaining in active service.

This unique vessel served as Admiral Ackbar’s flagship during the Battle of Endor and remained so until he moved to the MC90 [i]Defiance[/i]. Like other Mon Calamari vessels of its time, it was originally a civilian pleasure liner that was converted into a warship. Relatively lightly armed for a vessel its size, it carried ten squadrons of starfighters, making it effectively a “Super Carrier”. [i]Home One[/i] was retired from service after distinguishing itself for many years and most probably serves now as a museum.

The [i]Viscount[/i]-class is the largest ship ever constructed by the Mon Calamari and began to appear at the beginning of the war with the Yuuzhan Vong, sixteen years after the Battle of Endor. Colloquially referred to as Mon Calamari Star Defenders, these immense vessels bristle with offensive weaponry, as well as carrying eight starfighter squadrons. A small number of these vessels have been constructed and serve in the GADF. A prominent example is the prototype [i]Viscount[/i], which was assigned to the Coruscant Home Defence Fleet during the Yuuzhan Vong war.

After the completion of the [i]Executor[/i] and the [i]Lusankya[/i], Kuat Drive Yards began to design and construct a number of smaller vessels based on similar lines. At just under half the size and a fraction of the cost, the [i]Superior[/i]-class Super Star Destroyer became a somewhat common sight in the Empire, functioning primarily as command ships. In addition to their exceptional armament, these behemoths also carry two wings of starfighters and a full corps of troops ensuring the fulfilment of their intended purpose – to symbolise the unlimited power of the Empire. Prominent examples include the [i]Intimidator[/i] which was part of the Black Sword Command and the [i]Guardian[/i] which was captured by the New Republic and fought during the Yuuzhan Vong war.

The [i]Sovereign[/i]-class Star Destroyer was designed as a scaled down version of the Eclipse-class Star Destroyer. Like it's predecessor, it is equipped with a reinforced prow allowing it to ram smaller vessels. It is armed with over 1 000 guns, but the cornerstone of its armament is the massive axial superlaser. This superlaser is a curtailed version of the Death Star superlaser, and is capable of penetrating planetary shields. Only four of these vessels were ever built and the New Republic destroyed them all within a year of construction.

The [i]Eclipse[/i]-class Super Star Destroyer was designed as the flagship and command vessel of the Reborn Emperor Palpatine and was essentially the ultimate doomsday device. Armed with well over 1 000 weapons and equipped with extremely thick hull plating and inordinately powerful shields, the [i]Eclipse[/i] was almost impervious to attack. The cornerstone of its armament however was the massive axial superlaser that was capable of cracking the crust of planet. In addition to this, the [i]Eclipse[/i] mounted ten gravity well projectors that prevented hyperspace travel. The many hanger bays also housed fifty squadrons of starfighters, as well as five prefabricated garrison bases and one hundred AT-AT walkers. A troop capacity of 150 000 rounds out the awesome capabilities of this leviathan.

The [i]Executor[/i]-class Super Star Destroyer is one of the most awe-inspiring sights in the galaxy. At eleven miles long, it is one of the largest ships known to exist and bristles with over 5000 weapon emplacements, as well as carrying a staggering twelve wings, or seventy-two squadrons of starfighters. In addition, it houses 85 000 troops and enough consumables to last for eight years without restocking. Due to the massive expenditure involved in constructing these vessels, only two are known to have existed – the [i]Executor[/i], which served as Lord Darth Vader’s flagship, and the [i]Lusankya[/i], which was buried under the surface of Coruscant for use as the Emperor’s personal escape ship.

(W_K): Warlord_Ken – got the ball rolling with Project Calamari. Wrote almost all of it himself, his efforts all those months ago have contributed inordinately to this venture.
(AN22): AdmiralNick22 – our resident expert on all things Mon Cal. When I first registered for the forums, I approached Nick about resurrecting the Compendium. Since then he has been a tremendous help, providing me with research and advice.
(FT): FTeik – came up with the name Superior-class, so for that I am extremely grateful. An ever-present contributor to the TFN boards, he has provided much valuable information for this project including his classification system that has been incorporated into the one used by this Compendium.

I would like to say a huge thankyou to everyone for reading this edition of the Compendium. As usual, any and all feedback is welcome. Hit me up on kris.rodrigues@gmail.com or PM for anything. Thanks again to all who contributed to the project and I hope that it has been as enjoyable for you to read as it has been for me to contribute. I will continue to add to and amend the Compendium as people provide suggestions and improvements.
