- "The Moff has a light cruiser. It could be helpful in your effort to regain Mandalore."
- ―Din Djarin, to Bo-Katan Kryze, regarding Gideon's Class 546 Cruiser
The Class 546 Cruiser[1] was a modified model of Arquitens-class command cruiser primarily designed for greater speed,[3][2] though it was also designated as a Lightspeed Cruiser.[1] The Class 546 Cruiser was used by an Imperial remnant led by Moff Gideon. Although similar to the command cruiser model, the Class 546 housed a large internal hangar bay that could be accessed by port and starboard hangar doors and a launch tube at the center of the vessel between the ship's two prongs. Its bridge was also different from the standard Arquitens-class models,[4] and was equipped with three primary and four secondary sublight engines.[3]
The light cruiser that served as the command ship of Moff Gideon was a Class 546 Cruiser[1]. The vessel participated in a skirmish on Tython where it destroyed the Razor Crest, a gunship owned by the Mandalorian Din Djarin.[3] It was later boarded by a team led by Djarin and including Lady Bo-Katan Kryze, her companion Koska Reeves, Carasynthia Dune, and Fennec Shand in an effort to rescue the Force-sensitive child, Grogu.[4]
