Sacheen-class light escort



The Sacheen-class frigate was a part of the New Republic Navy's New Class standardization project. The first ships were commissioned approximately 20 ABY.

Developed and produced by the Republic Engineering Corporation, the ships of the Sacheen class are the smallest ships of the New Class designed for independent operations. Common mission profiles include system patrol and screening. While considered light escorts, Sacheen-class frigates' enhanced shielding, thick hull plating and Class-1 hyperdrive allow it to hold its own in battle.

At 375 meters in length, the Sacheen-class are ton for ton one of the most powerful frigates ever built. Weapon systems include ten heavy turbolaser cannons, eight laser cannons and eight ion cannons. In addition, Sacheen-class frigates carry one squadron of starfighters in main hangars at the stern.

Cracken's Threat Dossier refers to these ships as "Sacheen-class escort cruisers", although it would be an overestimation to call them cruisers, considering size and armament against the full New Class.
