Pursuit-class light cruiser

Pursuit-class light cruiser The Pursuit-class light cruiser was a type of starship in the Imperial Navy.



It resembled a small variant of the more common Star Destroyers that the Galactic Empire used. Though it had docking bay capable of launching several TIE series starfighters and was sometimes equipped with more potent TIE Advanced X1 starfighters, it could easily be outrun by a fast ship like Millennium Falcon.

In addition to being equipped with at least two engines and three sensor globes, the Pursuit-class was armed with two twin turbolaser turrets, as well as two big cannons fixed to the hull and situated near each wing-like protrusion.

The class was used and well-known in the year following the Battle of Yavin, but nothing more is known about its history.
