Consular-class cruiser (Charger c70 retrofit)/Legends

Republic frigate The Republic frigate was the name used to describe heavily armed Consular-class space cruisers used during the Clone Wars.

Characteristics


The Consulars were armed with four twin turbolaser cannons, each mounted on the opposing side of the center fuselage. The class also had a smaller sensor and communications array than on the peacetime vessels, and were staffed by clone pilots and officers.

The weapons-system had a targetting screen of Corellian design, similar to the one on the AG-2G quad laser cannon, an orange-against-red grid.

History
Jedi General Yoda used such a frigate to reach the moon of Rugosa for a diplomatic meeting with Toydarian King Katuunko. The ship was attacked, but managed to hold off two Munificent-class star frigates long enough to fire all escape pods towards the moon, one of which contained the Jedi Master and three clone troopers.
