Subjugator-class heavy cruiser/Legends

Malevolence-type battleship The Malevolence-type battleship was a CIS battleship class that consisted of at least two ships.

Dimensions


The Confederate Navy's most powerful battleship class, it had some design-similarities to both the Providence-class carrier/destroyer and the Recusant-class light destroyer,, but was more than 5km long. The battleship was covered with armor so thick it could receive heavy turbolaser bombardment from multiple enemy capital ships without being knocked out or even suffering any major damage. Sixteen thrusters were positioned at the vessel's stern.

Offensive and defensive systems
The battleship was fitted with two gigantic ion cannons, capable of firing a focused and directed ionic pulse at Republic capital ships and completely neutralizing their power systems.

The Malevolence type was also armed with considerable amounts of standard secondary weaponry to destroy the ion cannon's victims. Turbolasers were fitted to both its sides and dorsal superstructure, being clustered in large banks to defend against any ship that avoided the main ion cannons. They consisted of at least two different types - light and heavy dual turbolaser cannons.

Complement


The warship carried several Vulture-class droid fighter squadrons, which could launch from multiple hangars on the side of the warship, right behind the ion array. The hangars had their own dedicated firefighting droid teams, which could quickly respond to any emergency in the bays. The ship was large enough to have its own dedicated internal rail jet transportation system. The rails transported both passengers and materials on several levels and were connected with the various hangars. The rail-jet car design was similar to that of the Multi-Troop Transport.

Bridge
A communications array was located towards the stern, similar to the one found on the Providence-class. The command center was also located in this tower, which had a multi-storied structure at the top, defended by multiple turbolaser batteries.

This bridge contained a single raised platform in the centre where the commander of the ship resided. A holographic terminal was present to allow the captain of the vessel to communicate with others. There were at least five circular computer screens with four stations in a semi-circular pattern where crew were stationed at and controlled the mighty ship. Two turbolifts were present at the back of the bridge allowing for access to other levels in the ship.

History
The Malevolence served as General Grievous flagship during the early months of the war and managed to destroy dozens of Republic task forces before being destroyed by a joint effort of fighter strikes and internal sabotage. The Devastation was involved in a conflict that concerned Dathomiri Nightsisters, during the Clone Wars.
