With there being a large amount of Star Destroyers and larger Heavy Cruisers, the Glory's maneuverability, speed, weaponry, and defense were built specifically to combat them. Ranging from outpacing them, to outmaneuvering them, and to match them in damage due to the aforementioned, the Glory is the perfect vessel for Capital ship killing.
Despite its strengths in ship versus ship combat, it holds many weaknesses due to its head to head tendencies. Starting at its lack of starfighters, should a single Glory be found alone, the potential of being overwhelmed merely by bombers and starfighters is great. Even if the Glory were to destroy an opposing ship, most fighters tend to carry a heavy ordnance payload, and are capable of performing massive amounts of damage across a Glory's hull. Then there's the lack of its aft weaponry. Should another, smaller, or more maneuverable ship got the drop upon the Glory, the ship would be incapable of defending itself, or returning the damage it receives.
