Republic light assault cruiser

"Hmm&hellip;I guess I am happy&hellip;now that the navy has arrived."

- Saesee Tiin

The Republic light assault cruiser was an armed variant of the Corellian Engineering Corporation Consular-class space cruiser used by members of the Judicial Forces and Jedi Order during the time of the Galactic Republic.

Armed Republic cruisers saw use in the Judicial Department as early as 33 BBY, where a fleet comprised of assault cruisers and armed Corellian Star Shuttles aided Jedi High Councilors during the fight against the Yinchorri. Several assault cruisers led the attack on Uhanayih, which ultimately resolved the conflict.

As the Separatist crisis escalated, the Republic began retrofitting Consular-class cruisers with advanced, offensive weaponry, in preperation for a possible attack by the Separatists. Many cruisers were fitted with turbolasers.
