The Arquitens-class light cruiser, Also known as the Republic light cruiser, was a small Galactic Republic frigate used by the Republic Navy during the Clone Wars
Contents |
Design
The Arquitens-class resembled a smaller version of the Venator-class Star Destroyer, with engines similar to the smaller Consular-class space cruiser. A docking ring was located on each side of the ship and a deep split cleaved the bow into two prongs. Atop the main hull was a small T-shaped command tower, with two quad laser turrets flanking it. Two identical emplacements were located on the ventral bow, while four dual-barreled turbolaser batteries were located on the sides of the cruiser. Large slits on either side of these cannons allowed them to be repositioned for frontal, broadside or backwards firing. This function, combined with the dorsal and ventral turrets, granted the ship a good arc of fire. All gun emplacements were retracted into the hull during re-entry to prevent the barrels from being damaged by sudden drag force. The bridge/bow turrets descended/ascended into large trap-door hatches, while the flank cannons receded into the bow prongs. The ship had two pairs of Heavy missile tubes on the edges between its turbolaser cannons
History
Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi commanded one of these ships during the Battle of Saleucami. Several Arquitens-class light cruisers formed part of the fleet that protected Kamino when it was attacked by General Grievous and Asajj Ventress. The Arquitens-class Light Cruiser Destiny is commanded by Captain Soto Terius.
