Legend

an Imperial capital ship, the Carrack-class cruiser was built by Damorian Manufacturing. At 350 meters in length, the Carrack-class is larger than a Lancer-class ship but smaller than a Dreadnaught. It is manned by a crew of 1,092, with room for up to 142 troops. It was built to counteract the effectiveness of the Corellian Corvette, for the Empire could not obtain many of those. The Carrack ships carry up to four TIE Fighters on a set of external racks. They are also the fastest Imperial capital ships, rated at 18 MGLT. However, it was lightly armored near its power generators, which posed a problem in battle. The Carrack-class cruiser boasts the following components: * 10 Heavy Turbolaser Batteries * 20 Ion Cannon Batteries * up to 5 tractor beam projectors * two warhead launchers * 160 SBD shields * 100 RU hull
