Legend

this warship was developed by the Bothan military, for use by the New Republic, shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. At 850 meters in length, the Bothan Assault Cruiser was designed to fill the mission profile of a Victory-class Star Destroyer on the front lines of a space battle. It was crewed by 1,240 beings, and could accommodate up to 250 additional troops and gunners. 5,000 metric tons of cargo space was provided for supplies and ordnance, and the ship was armed with twenty turbolasers, twenty-four heavy turbolaser cannons, ten ion cannons, twenty proton torpedo launchers, and four tractor beam projectors. Two angar space was set aside to handle up to four full squadrons of fighters. Its design incorporated some of the most modern technologies.
