The Starhawk-class Battleship Mark II was a class of battleship used by the naval arm of the burgeoning New Republic. The Mark II was part of the Starhawk-class line of ships,[1] which included the initial prototype[4] and the Mark I. The Starhawks were built from disassembled Imperial Star Destroyers and had a hatchet shaped frontal hull.[5]
The Mark II had multiple deflector shield generator domes[2] on its mast as well as engines on its extended aft section and rear of the frontal section. The warship was equipped with a Magnite Crystal Tractor Beam Array with six tractor beam projectors[1] surrounding a frontal hangar.[3] One Starhawk-class Battleship Mark II traveled near[1] the New Republic ecumenopolis[6] Hosnian Prime, where it was accompanied by at least seventeen X-wing starfighters. That Starhawk was decorated with the blue and yellow colors of the New Republic, including the starburst insignia on its starboard side.[1]
