Class II Cruiser
Name/Type: Class II Star Destroyer
Designer/Manufacturer: Kuat Drive Yards
Combat Role: Large Cruiser
Crew: 50,765 + 386 Gunners
Length: 2600 Meters
Speed: 60 MGLT
Hyperdrive: x2
Shield Rating: 7800 SBD
Hull Rating: 5538 RU
Weapons: 70 Heavy Turbolaser Batteries, 60 Heavy Turbolaser Cannons, 30 Heavy Ion Cannons, 6 Proton Torpedo Tubes, 36 Point Defence Laser Cannons, 24 Tractor Beam Projectors.
Fighter Complement: 12 Squadrons.
Troops: 13,000 Stormtroopers, 56 Armoured Vehicles (typically 15 heavy, 30 light and 11 for specialized duty. For example 15 AT-ATs, 30 AT-STs, 8 AT-AAs and 3 SPHAs.)
Support Craft: 6 Titan-class Landing Barges, 8 Alpha Class XG-1 Star Wings, 24 Delta Class Dx-9 Transports, 12 Lambda Class T-4a Shuttles.
The Class II Cruiser is a design in the lineage of the Acclamator-class Miltitary Transport, which also the Venator-class carrier is. The Class II is however more geared towards a space combat function than either of those ships, reflecting the development towards the versatile Imperator-class lineage. The Class II maintains four large hangars, though not with such a strongly dedicated carrier function as found on the Venator, while it keeps the engine and bridge design of the Acclamator. One can also find the typical reactor bulge of the Imperator line on this ship. The Class II was probably considered an intermediate design along with the Class I and Class 1000 vessels. They were in service during the early Imperial Era, but never became very common due to the advent of the Imperator-class, which moved the hangar bays to the ventral side to further minimize this structural potential weakness, together with improved firepower and a lower emphasize on fighters. Unlike the Acclamator and Venator, the Class II is a non-atmospheric ship, also noting a change from large landing capital ships to an increased use of shuttlecraft. The most famous of these vessels in the Rand Ecliptic, which was commandered by several rebel cells aboard, one of which was led by Derek "Hobbie" Klivian.
