Centurion-class battlecruiser

Centurion-class battlecruiser The Centurion-class battlecruiser was a capital ship used by the Galactic Republic and the Sith Triumvirate.

Characteristics


Twice as long as the contemporary Interdictor-class cruiser, the Centurion-class battlecruiser had increased cargo capacity and heavier firepower.

It carried up to 96 Sith interceptors and was armed with multiple turbolaser, ion cannon, tractor beam and point-defense laser cannon batteries, as well as proton torpedo launchers.

Its command tower held spacious quarters for the command crew, with the bridge alone the size of a concert hall.

History


The Centurion-class battlecruiser was intended to succeed the Inexpugnable-class command ship in the Republic Navy. A limited number of these ships served in the Mandalorian Wars, and gained more traction under the command of Darth Revan, where they made up the heavyweights of his navy during the Jedi Civil War. Most vessels were either captured or destroyed by the end of the Civil War.

The most famous vessel of the class was the Ravager used by the Sith Lord Darth Nihilus. Originally serving in the Republic Navy during the Mandalorian Wars, the Ravager was destroyed in orbit of Malachor V at the end of the war. It was later salvaged by the Sith Lord and used as his personal conveyance.
