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 Empire used. Though it had docking bay capable of launching several TIE fighters and was at least sometimes equiped with more potent TIE Advanced starfighters it could easily be outrun by a powerfull ship like the Millenium Falcon. The class was used and well-known in the year following the Battle of Yavin, but nothing more is known about it's usage.
