CAPITAL SHIPS


This broad category includes immense^B
military vessels that bear enormous martiH|
might. Capital ships are usually armed witn^
the heaviest shields and the most powerfu
ship-board weaponry in the galaxy. Manned j
by crews in the hundreds, if not thousands, J
these stellar behemoths often house entire
fighter squadrons and even smaller capital
ships within their cavernous hangar bays.


CR90 CORVETTE

A versatile light capital ship, Corellian Engineering's fast,
reliable CR90 class corvette is a small multi-purpose ves-
sel popular with both militaries and civilian organizations.
Long and sleek, the CR90 has a distinctive, wasp-waisted
profile with a narrow midships section flanked by a mas-
sive bank of eleven Cirodyne ion turbine engines aft and
a broad, hammerhead bridge and crew section forward.
CR90s are remarkably fast and agile for ships of their size,
and can be configured as a troop carrier, cargo hauler, a
passenger liner or consular ship, or even a heavily armed
escort vessel.
The corvettes usually mount a pair of T&B twin
turbolasers in dorsal and ventral midships turrets as
their main weapons. Along with the turbolasers are
four light turbolasers, two to a side, mounted dorsally
in turrets on the midships hull section. This makes
them well suited to running blockades and acting as
heavy escorts for cash-strapped militaries.

DP20 GUNSHIP

Known colloquially as the "Corellian Cunship," the
DP20 is designed from the keel up as a pure, single-
purpose military vessel. Built by CEC for the fleets
of the Galactic Republic, DP20s were deployed
in response to increased threats from both droid
starfighters and rogue bands of pirates fielding fleets
of secondhand snubfighters. Composed of three hull
sections strung along a single long reinforced multi-
decked corridor, these ships are powered by an over-
sized ionization reactor giving it significant speed.

Bristling with turbolasers, quad laser turrets, and con-
cussion missile launchers, these ships are dedicated
starfighter killers. They are heavily armed and shielded
to protect them from massed fighter attacks, and are
equipped with powerful targeting computers that al-
low the weapons to track and traverse fast and agile
starfighters. This means the Corellian Cunship is a con-
summate anti-starfighter and anti-capital ship vessel.
However, despite their utility, few of these ships see ac-
tive duty with the Imperial Navy of today.

CAPITAL SHIP CAPACITY

C


apital ships and large freighters are ex-
tremely sizable, and thus have a great deal
of capability for carrying cargo. Due to this, the
encumbrance capacities listed are simply the
minimum capability the ship has for transport-
ing supplies and resources. Most of these ships
could carry far more if the need arose.
