Majestic-class heavy cruiser

The 700-meter-long Majestic-class heavy cruiser is a powerful warship built under the New Republic's New Class modernization program. With 30 heavy turbolaser cannons, 20 laser cannons, 20 ion cannons, 8 concussion missile tubes, and 4 tractor beam projectors, these ships are capable of engaging both enemy capital ships and starfighters. Majestic-class heavy cruisers are incredibly durable; their thick armor and shields are equal to the previous generation of Imperial-class Star Destroyers. These ships are equipped with fast Class 0.95 hyperdrives. They carry a crew of 4,050, 640 troops, and enough consumables for 5 months of operation. Following New Class practice, the basic hull of the Majestic-class heavy cruiser was reused for the Defender-class assault carrier.

Behind the Scenes
The only official image of the Majestic-class heavy cruiser is found in the RPG sourcebook Cracken's Threat Dossier. Like the pictures of other New Class ships, this picture contradicts information from the Black Fleet Crisis novels, on which Cracken's Threat Dossier is based. The Majestic and Defender classes look nothing alike, even though they are supposed to be built on the same hull. Because of this, the picture has been labeled as erroneous and dismissed as non-Canon by many fans.
