Star Wars Ships and Vehicles
Republic Engineering Corporation
The Republic Engineering Corporation was founded to produce specialty vessels for the New Republic, which had allocated most of the galaxy's existing warships to individual planets.
Cracken's Threat Dossier has information on REC-built warships, but it is contradicted in many places with details supplied by the author of the Black Fleet Crisis books; it is thus assumed to be invalid.
- Warrior-class Gunship
- Hajen-class Fleet Tender
- Sacheen-class Escort
- Defender-class Assault Carrier
- Majestic-class Heavy Cruiser
- Endurance-class Fleet Carrier
- Nebula-class Star Destroyer
- Ferret-class Reconnaissance Vessel
- Prowler-class Reconnaissance Vessel
This table lists the known warships originating at REC. Ships with identical lengths share a common design, although their appearance is not known at this time.
|
190m |
Agave-class Picket Ship |
As a "picket ship," the Agave is most likely used to patrol borders or act as a support ship. |
|
Warrior-class Gunship |
The Warrior-class probably trades the long-range operation capabilities of the Agave for better weaponry. | |
|
375m |
Hajen-class Fleet Tender |
Tenders usually carry supplies and repair materials when away from a base or port; the Hajen presumably serves in this role. |
|
Sacheen-class Escort |
The Sacheen might be a larger support or anti-fighter vessel. | |
|
700m |
Defender-class Assault Carrier |
The "assault carrier" designation for this ship might imply that both the fighters and the ship itself engage a given target (as opposed to just the fighters themselves, as in a traditional carrier role). |
|
Majestic-class Heavy Cruiser |
This "heavy cruiser" is barely destroyer-sized, but probably serves in the same role as a cruiser in the relatively small new Republic fleet. The fighter capacity of this class is probably less than the Defender; in its place could be heavy weapons or other structures. | |
|
1040m |
Endurance-class Fleet Carrier |
The Endurance-class is most likely a traditional carrier, with both command facilities and extensive fighter bays. |
|
Nebula-class Star Destroyer |
The Nebula seems out-of-place here; although larger than the "cruisers" and "carriers," these ships are called "destroyers." This might mean that Nebula-class ships are usually deployed to the larger regional and sector fleets, where the baseline ship sizes are much larger. |
Ferret-class Reconnaissance Vessel | |
|
The Ferret is one of many small vessels carrying extensive sensor equipment used to secretly investigate enemy outposts or vessels. This particular class of ship is entirely automated and carries a limited chemical-based drive used when the standard ion one would be detected. (Source: Cracken's Threat Dossier) |
Name: Ferret-class Reconnaissance
Vessel |
Prowler-class Reconnaissance Vessel | |
|
The Prowler is a version of the Ferret capable of carrying a flight crew. As a result, it is larger and slower, but can presumably operate farther from a main outpost or vessel. (Source: Cracken's Threat Dossier) |
