Material: Mostly neutronium impregnated durasteel plating on the hull. Length: Around 4,000 metres (Praetor) | Over 4,800 metres (Praetor Mark II) Users: Galactic Republic Navy, Imperial Navy High 6-C with heavy turbolasersĬlassification: Starship, Battlecruiser, Carrier & Transport There was little to no place for battlecruisers which bridged that gap due to them being seen as less versatile than star destroyers and less effective as terror weapons than true dreadnoughts.
Imperial naval doctrine favoured a mix of under 2 kilometre capital ships such as the Imperial-class star destroyer and over 7 kilometre dreadnoughts such as the Mandator and the Executor. However, the Praetor Mark II was rendered obsolete just a few years into the Galactic Empire’s reign. The line also featured a hyperdrive with far greater range. Unrestricted by the Republic’s demilitarization guidelines, the Praetor Mark II’s hull bristled with heavy turbolasers and heavy ion cannons. The Galactic Empire contracted Kuat Drive Yards to manufacture an updated version, which was dubbed the Praetor Mark II. They were nonetheless seen as capable warships and were retrofitted to serve the Republic Navy during the Clone Wars. The line’s overall armaments and hyperdrive capabilities were limited by Republic demilitarization guidelines. The original Praetor line dates back to much before the Clone Wars. The Praetor-class Star Battlecruiser was a line of main battleships manufactured by the famous Kuat Drive Yards.
