Acclamator II-class assault ship

Acclamator II-class assault ship The Acclamator II-class assault ship, also known as the Acclamator II-class Star Destroyer during the reign of the Galactic Empire, was a warship first used by the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars.

History


Throughout the Clone Wars, Rothana Heavy Engineering produced several different designs based on the Acclamator assault ships, all of which functioned as true warships compared to the original troop transport.

Some identifying marks included angled ventral hulls and launch bays for starfighters and landing craft, similar to later Star Destroyer designs. These vessels saw action in conflicts such as the Battle of Merson and the Battle of Alderaan.

The most famous Acclamator-derived design was the Acclamator II-class. Second in the Acclamator series of warships, the design was mainly aimed at planetary bombardment proficiency, converting the Acclamator I-class transport into a fully-flegged warship.
