Corellian Corvette

MFG Info:

Designation: Freighter
Manufacturer: Corellian Engineering Corp.
In Use By: Various
Special Characteristics:
Light starship. Colloquially known as the "Blockade Runner" because of its speed, it is common throughout the galaxy

Vital Stats:

Size: 293.0 meters
Crew: 46-165 depending on configuration
Shield rating: 400 SBD
Hull rating: 188 RU

Description:

The Blockade Runner is marginally dangerous and requires a competent escort in order to survive a firefight. A competent pair of starfighters can take it out with little effort: The faster of the two can easily draw its fire, since it tends to concentrate on a single target, while the second takes it down with fire-linked proton torpedoes and lasers. Of course, the Corellian Corvette is classified as a capital ship, and as such, it mustn't be disregarded.

Nebulon-B Frigate

MFG Info:

Designation: Starship
Manufacturer: Kuat Drive Yards
In Use By: Empire and Rebel Alliance
Special Characteristics:
Medium starship. Designed to give convoys escort protection against starfighter attacks. It has its own complement of up to two squadrons

Vital Stats:

Size: 756.0 meters
Crew: 920, troops: 75
Shield rating: 2560 SBD
Hull rating: 1520 RU

Description:

Much more powerful than the Corellian Corvette, the Nebulon-B Frigate commands multiple turbo-laser batteries, which can obliterate individual starfighters in moments. At least four powerful starfighters are required to take on a Nebulon-B, and more should stand by to deal with its fighter squadrons. While the Frigate is much smaller than the prominent Rebel and Imperial capital ships, its offensive power is greater.

Interdictor

MFG Info:

Designation: Starship
Manufacturer: Sienar Fleet Systems
In Use By: Empire
Special Characteristics:
Medium starship. Their huge gravity well projectors can prevent craft from using their hyperdrive or force them to drop out of hyperspace

Vital Stats:

Size: 1.2 km
Crew: 2,807, gunners: 24, troops: 1,000
Shield rating: 2880 SBD
Hull rating: 1056 RU

Description:

The Imperial Interdictor is designed to intercept and ambush starships traveling through hyperspace. It can hold its own in battles as well, with comparable performance to the Nebulon-B Frigate. Although its shields are tougher than the Nebulon's, its hull - particularly because of the gravity wells it uses to ply its trade - is much more vulnerable. Attack it quickly and fiercely, because once you penetrate the shields, the Interdictor may be easily destroyed.

Victory Star Destoryer

MFG Info:

Designation: Starship
Manufacturer: Kuat Drive Yards
In Use By: Empire
Special Characteristics:
Heavy starship. Originally designed during the Clone Wars, these heavily armed capital ships carry two TIE Fighter squadrons each

Vital Stats:

Size: 1.8 km
Crew: 4,798, gunners: 402, troops: 2,040
Shield rating: 3200 SBD
Hull rating: 1520 RU

Description:

The Victory Star Destroyer is comparable to the Nebulon-B Frigate, but with considerably stronger shields and a larger, more vulnerable frame. At least a half-dozen starships are recommended to combat this capital ship, several of which must be prepared to take on its fighter squadrons. The Victory Star Destroyer must not be approached unless you are specifically ordered to destroy it. In that case, you and your wingman must fight it simultaneously on all sides, lest its dozens of turbo-lasers and barrage of anti-ship warheads overwhelm you.

Imperial Star Destoryer

MFG Info:

Designation: Starship
Manufacturer: Kuat Drive Yards
In Use By: Empire
Special Characteristics:
Heavy starship. Intended to replace the Victory class, it is almost twice as big with more than double the combat power. It carries six squadrons of TIE starfighters

Vital Stats:

Size: 3.2 km
Crew: 37,085, gunners: 275, troops: 9,700
Shield rating: 4800 SBD
Hull rating: 2272 RU

Description:

The Star Destroyer is the pride of the Imperial Navy and a testament to the power of the Empire. Twice as powerful as the weaker Victory-class Star Destroyer, the Imperial model is the most potent vessel in space. Don't even think of getting anywhere near this monster without at least seven wingmen at your side and be prepared to deal with wave after wave of TIE Fighters before attacking. Because the Imperial Star Destroyer is so powerful in its own right, eliminate its escort before attempting to take it on. If you are daring or foolhardy enough to attempt to destroy it, designate several faster craft to draw its fire while you first eliminate its protruding shield generators, then concentrate any remaining firepower to its hull.

Calamari Cruiser

MFG Info:

Designation: Starship
Manufacturer: Mon Calamari
In Use By: Rebel Alliance
Special Characteristics:
Heavy starship. Exceptionally durable, these ships form the backbone of the Rebel Alliance fleet. Starfighter complement is three squadrons

Vital Stats:

Size: 2.6 km
Crew: 5,402, gunners: 200, troops: 1,200
Shield rating: 3840 SBD
Hull rating: 2128 RU

Description:

The Rebels' most powerful capital ship is no match for the Imperial Star Destroyer, what with its weaker shields and half the fighter escort. Nonetheless, the Calamari Cruiser can shatter most other capital ships, and it's even dangerous to opposing starfighters with dozens of turbo-lasers lining the entire hull of the craft. Six to eight ace starfighters are required to take it down, with several targeting and eliminating its escort while the rest weave in and launch missiles.

Strike Cruiser

MFG Info:

Designation: Starship
Manufacturer: Loronar Corp.
In Use By: Empire and Rebel Alliance
Special Characteristics:
Light starship with unique modular design. Can carry a single starfighter squadron. Specialized versions exist for troop transport, planetary assault, etc.

Vital Stats:

Size: 900.0 meters
Crew: 1,972, gunners: 140, troops: 340
Shield rating: 2560 SBD
Hull rating: 1520 RU

Description:

The Strike Cruiser performs much like the Nebulon-B Frigate with nearly identical shielding and hull. However, it can carry only one fighter squadron where the Frigate packs two. Four to six starships are recommended for eliminating the Strike Cruiser, and as with all capital ships, approach simultaneously with one to two fighters drawing fire, while the rest attack with missiles.

Dreadnaught

MFG Info:

Designation: Starship
Manufacturer: Rendili StarDrive Systems
In Use By: Various
Special Characteristics:
Medium starship capable of carrying a full squadron of fighters. This aging design is still in use in remote sectors

Vital Stats:

Size: 1.2 km
Crew: 16,133, gunners: 97, troops: 3,000
Shield rating: 2560 SBD
Hull rating: 1216 RU

Description:

The scum of the universe need a capital ship, and this is it. Only slightly weaker than the Nebulon-B Frigate, the Dreadnaught is also protected by a squadron of fighter craft. Once the fighters are eliminated, good teamwork within a small and able-minded wing of starships - one drawing fire and the rest unloading their warheads - is enough to overwhelm this large but vulnerable cruiser.
