Venator-Class Star Destroyer

The Venator-Class Star Destroyer is a ship used explicitly by the Navy of the Grid Republic. It is designed and constructed by Kuat Drive Yards.

Dimensions
The ship is 1,137 meters long, making it one of the largest capital ships capable of atmospheric operations, landing on planets to load and unload troops and vehicles.

The Venator-class was born from the success of the Acclamator I-Class Assault Ship and was designed for the purpose of serving as a medium-sized, versatile multi-role warship.

Roles
While designed primarily for ship-to-ship combat, the Venator has secondary roles ranging from starfighter carrier, to military transport and battleship escort. The expanded carrier role makes the Venator-class popular amongst Jedi starfighter aces.

As a popular multi-role warship of the Republic Navy, the Venator is considered heavily armed and armored enough to lead assaults on well-defended group territories as well as fast enough to chase down corvettes. Due to being relatively less self-sufficient than other ships in the fleet, the Venator-class often relies upon supply lines to aid long-range campaigns.

These vessels also sport the red color of diplomatic immunity all Republic ships sport.

Offensive and Defensive Systems
The armament of a single Venator-Class Star Destroyer consists of two point-defence batteries (total of two guns), turbolaser batteries (total of # guns), two heavy turbolaser batteries (total of eight guns) and two missile batteries (total of two launchers).

The Venator-Class contains one default ability: Broadside. This ability increases the firing rate of all heavy turbolaser batteries considerably.
