Capital Ships and Frigates
Ships of this class are typically designed for fleet warfare, often positioned in armadas stationed in high orbit around a strategic planet. They usually form the primary attack groups in most fleets.
These vessels were commonly fitted with ship-to-ship and anti-fighter defensive weaponry, ranging from heavy ion cannons to turbolaser turrets. Many capital ship classes also served as carriers and were able to deploy starfighters, landing craft, and other resources as required.
Given their size, capital ships employed relatively numerous crews, employing in some instances thousands of beings. An example was the Imperial-class Star Destroyer, which was 1,600 meters long and required a crew of 37,000 to operate at full efficiency. There were also examples that utilized a much smaller number of active personnel, whether by means of advanced control systems or simply necessity, as in the cases of Katana Fleet and Errant Venture, respectively. It also includes non armed vessels of enormous size.
Assault Frigate Mark II CL 19
The Assault Frigate Mark II was a light warship that saw extensive service with the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. The Assault Frigate Mk. II was a further development of the Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser modification project. Though the modification procedures allowed for some variation between individual craft, the most common assault frigate configuration had large dorsal engine fins, and could operate with less than a third of the Dreadnaught's crew requirements thanks to extensive automation systems. Though the Mk. II model used the same basic Dreadnaught hull as the Mk. I, the Assault Frigate Mark IIs incorporated redundant deflector shields similar those in Mon Calamari Star Cruisers.

Carrack-class Light Cruiser CL 16
The Carrack-class light cruiser, also known as the Carrack-class gunship, was a cruiser first used by the Republic Navy in the last years of the Galactic Republic, including the Clone Wars. It was later an important addition to the Imperial Navy; although 350 meters long, the small combat cruisers were heavily armed and had a top speed that matched X-wing starfighters.

Rendili Star Drive Dreadnaught CL 14
The Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser, or simply the Dreadnaught, was a capital ship built for planetary occupation and space combat used by the Galactic Republic, Galactic Empire, New Republic, and various other organizations and governments. Dreadnaughts were in use since at least 100 BBY. The Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser was designed and developed by Rendili StarDrive for the Republic Judicial Forces at least 80 years prior to the Clone Wars and was based on a Mandalorian design, apparently by Rendili Star Systems.

Eclipse-class Star Dreadnaught CL 24
The Eclipse-class Star Dreadnought, also known as the Eclipse-class Star Destroyer or Eclipse-class Super Star Destroyer, was a class of Imperial Star Dreadnought manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards and mainly used around six years after the Battle of Endor. Eclipse began construction early in the Galactic Civil War, around 0 ABY.
By 4 ABY, the vessel had its superlaser main weapon installed and in functional condition. The crimelord Tyber Zann wanted to access records on the ship, so he attacked Kuat and took control of the ship, and used to it to damage an Imperial and rebel fleet. Afterwards, Zann had no further use for the vessel, and left it adrift. Later on, this ship was completed and became the reborn Emperor Palpatine's flagship, and the only other ship of the class, Eclipse II, assumed the same role after the original's destruction.

The axial superlaser can charge 10% (ie, x12 damage multiplier, in one minute.) It can either discharge this damage - 12d10x(12/minute), or continue to charge. In it's stage of operation as seen in Dark Horse Comics: Dark Empire series, it can not charge above 80% (x100 damage multiplier, unless in your campaign different events unfold allowing it to reach fully operational capability. It can also discharge a maximum of 110% in a 24 hour period in it's current state. When completed it is expected to function at 125% damage output, and be capable of destroying 500% total daily output. RANGE: Point Blank 0-10, Short 11-30, Medium 31-60, Long 61-100; Starship scale squares.
Against all targets smaller than Colossal every weapon of the Eclipse is at -20 penalty to attack.
Hammerhead-class Cruiser CL18
The Hammerhead-class capital ship was a type of warship used by the Republic Navy during the Old Sith Wars, the Mandalorian Wars, and the New Sith Wars. This ship appears to function as a cruiser, similar in use to the later Interdictor-class Cruiser. Serving on the line in fleet engagements as a courier and as a command ship of large fleets, it was a workhorse of the Republic and a common sight near Republic-controlled worlds. This ship also had been observed undergoing independent operations, unlike the Republic blockade runner which was never observed outside a supporting fleet. Hammerheads were able to enter atmospheres and land on planetary surfaces.

IPV-1 System Patrol Craft CL 15
The IPV-1 System Patrol Craft, also known as the Imperial patrol vehicle or IPV-1 corvette, was a standard system security and customs vessel commonly used near planets to interdict smugglers and protect against piracy. It was produced by Republic Sienar Systems. Being very fast and maneuverable, they patrolled Republic and later Imperial sectors when Star Destroyers were unavailable. They were regarded as the first line of defense against purveyors of contraband and various organizations attempting insurrection against a system, and relied on their speed to catch and disable or destroy enemy craft. Pirate attacks fell to an all-time low when this craft was in a sector. Lacking a hyperdrive, the IPV-1 flew specific routes along known smuggling lanes. Their objective was to maintain the peace and order of the galactic government within controlled space.

Lancer-class Frigate CL 14
The Lancer-class frigate was a capital ship used for anti-starfighter operations in the Imperial Navy. Admiral Drez envisioned the Lancer-class ships and proposed using them to screen enemy starfighters to allow dominant Star Destroyers to pummel enemies in ship-to-ship combat. With approval from the Imperial Starfleet, Kuat Drive Yards designed and developed the ship. The final iteration ran a slim 250 meters with twenty quad laser cannon batteries designed specifically for starfighter hunting, but required a relatively large crew of 850.
