STRENGTHS

Light Carrier - The Republic-class was designed to carry a full wing of Starfighters consisting of three squadrons. Additionally, it can carry a further single squadron of Support Craft.

Heavy Armaments - Its primary purpose as a warship has resulted in the vessel being outfitted with a heavier armament than what may be commonly equipped on a vessel of its size.

Automation - Many of the secondary and tertiary systems of the vessel were automated to require a smaller crew to properly and efficiently operate the vessel.

​

WEAKNESSES

Automation - Though automated to allow for a smaller crew to operate these vessels, these systems are highly susceptible to Ion-based weaponry and EMPs. In the event that these systems were disabled or damaged, it would place a strain on the limited crew, resulting in the vessel struggling to maintain peak operational capabilities.

Sluggish - The Republic-class was not designed with speed or maneuverability in mind, resulting in a vessel with lower sublight speeds. Additionally, it often takes time and distance for the vessels to properly execute a maneuver compared to a vessel that was designed to be more maneuverable.

Swarm Tactics - While the vessel is capable of deploying a full Starfighter Wing, it was designed to engage with larger vessels and lacks a sufficient number of Anti-Starfighter weaponry. This can result in the vessel being easily overwhelmed by enemy Starfighter or Bomber formations.

​

DESCRIPTION

The Republic-class Star Destroyer respresents a minor shift and a return to an older designation that is often stepped away from in favor of the Star Defender classification. Designed to fulfill the roles of a Light Destroyer and a Light Carrier, the Republic-class is capable of carrying a full Starfighter Wing, consisting of three squadrons. Likewise, the vessel is also capable of deploying a singular squadron of Support Craft to assist in whatever role is required at the moment. With its role as a Light Destroyer, the vessel was outfitted with a heavier armament than what may be standard on a vessel of its size. However, as its focus is on a heavier armament and increased defenses, the Republic-class has been noted as being slower at Sublight speeds than similarly sized vessels. Likewise, it often requires distance and a great deal of time for the vessel to execute a maneuver when pitted against a vessel designed for maneuverability. While the vessel is capable of deploying a full Starfighter Wing, it was not designed with Anti-Starfighter combat in mind as it is intended to be pitted against Heavy Cruisers and Star Destroyers. As such, it can quickly become overwhelmed when dealing with large numbers of Starfighter and Bombers, often require additional assistance from Anti-Starfighter Pickets or additional squadrons to fend off such an attack. An additional feature of the Republic-class is that many of the secondary and tertiary systems have been automated to allow for a smaller crew to operate the vessel, however, these systems are highly susceptible to Ion-based weaponry and EMPs. If these systems were disabled or destroyed, it could potentially result in a drop of overall operational capabilities as the crew becomes overwhelmed with the responsibility of handling these additional systems. Despite its main drawbacks, the Republic-class Star Destroyer provides a powerful tool in an ever expanding arsenal. Its dual role as both a Destroyer and Carrier permit the vessel to be flexible when it comes to accomplishing missions. Its heavier defenses ensures that it is more than capable of standing toe-to-toe with heavier warships in prolonged engagements while its Starfighter Wing can easily handle minor Starfighter formations or smaller vessels such as Light Frigates and Corvettes. The Republic-class Star Destroyer is a relatively balanced warship than is more than capable of serving as a workhorse within the Galactic Alliance Defense Force.
