Legend

developed by the Hapans, these long, fast ships have immense firepower designed to help them supplement Hapan Battle Dragons. The Nova-class meaures 400 meters in length, resembling a two-pronged claw with a viper-like bridge, and are armed with twenty-five turbolasers, ten laser cannons, and ten ion cannons. They are normally equipped with two squadrons of Miy'til fighters and six Hetrinar assault bombers. The design of the Nova-class cruiser was a Hapan Consortium production, and was less than a decade old when Prince Isolder sought Leia Organa's hand in marriage. The ship's engines are designed to run a full year without refueling. The cruiser can transport up to 600 troops, with a crew of 1,700 and 90 gunners.
