Legend

this 1,088-meter-long vessel was developed by the Free Dac Volunteers Engineering Corps during the last decades of the Old Republic, and found priminent use among the naval fleets of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars. These ships were propelled through space by four Creveld-4 radial ion drive units, and had a Class 1.5 hyperdrive system that could move the ship across some 40,000 light-years. Like many other Separatist vessels, the Providence-class destroyer was designed to be operated by a droid crew of some 600 droid officers. In its holds, the Providence-class destryoer could carry up to 1.5 million deactivated battle droids, as well as 120 Tri-fighters, 120 vulture droids, 160 MTT transports, and nearly 300 other armored vehicles. In order to defend itself in combat, the Providence-class destroyer was armed with fourteen turret-mounted quad turbolasers, thirty-four dual laser cannons, a pair of ion cannons, twelve point-defense ion cannons, and 102 proton torpedo tubes.
