The Empire-class is the the successor to the old but reliable Venator-class. The Empire needed vessels with better fighter complement for large scale operations. The Revenge class was built for this role but was too expensive to build and too costly to maintain in the numbers Imperial Command wanted. Thus the Empire-class was born. The ship acted as support for large squadrons and as flagships for smaller battlegroups. Never deployed without protection the Empire was often paired with two Vicotry II-class star destroyers and various other smaller escorts.

Imperial I-class star destroyers are dry docked and the forward two hundred meters are removed to make way for a large forward multi-level Hanger. Extra shielding is added to the forward section as well as massive reinforced mesh dura-steel hanger doors. The forward third of the ship how houses the massive bay. The ventral amidships docking bay was removed adding ventral weapons batteries and a secondary reactor. The eight heavy quad barbets are retained as are the two rim mounted heavy double Heavy Cannons. A second triple heavy turret is added to the dorsal spine just forward of the original triple heavy turret. One additional triple heavy turret replaces the ventral docking bay. Ten heavy ion cannons are placed on the prow five to each flanking rim. Turbolasers and quad lasers line the ventral and doral edge of the port and starboard rim. Two full star fighter wings are supported as well as gunboats, Shuttles, Transports, Barges, and even corvettes can dock in the lower bay fo the forward hanger.

The Gorroka Particle Cannons align at the port and starboard wings on turret superstructures, while the Galleon's conning tower rises from the aft section of the hull to offer a commanding view of the dorsal hull.

The Empire-class was designed as a replacement for the Venators being used as fleet carriers. Shortly after the battle of Yavin the need for better fighters was paramount. The new rebel X-wing was far superior to the TIE fighter and won most battles in which they faced each other. New fighter designs had been rushed to the front of R&D's list but a solution had to be found  for the problem at the time. The answer came in many forms. Escort Carriers were developed but these could not take on capital ships well. The large Revenge Heavy Carriers were already in service but too few and too exspensive to be a solution. The ISD Empire was damaged in a battle with rebel forces having a large section of her prow destroyed. Imperial engineers cut away the damage and modified the ship to fit the duel roll of command and support carrier.

The Korri Star Galleon is the mainstay starship of the Cizerack Trade Navy, representing both the military might under the Pride Mother and the economic might of the Baroness Oligarchy that dominates industry and trade within the Carshoulis Cluster. Often in command of battle groups or trade convoys, they can be found in the company of Seeva or Seeva'fei frigates. Designed both for deep space combat and long distance trade voyages, Korri Galleons represent the Pride in star systems far abroad, and also stand ready to defend the Carshoulis Cluster from aggression.

Design

The engines of a Korri Galleon are arrayed on three extended wings, separate from the main body of the starship. The forward hull is reserved for the massive cargo bays designed to ferry priority cargo. Along the main body of the craft, the defensive armament is arrayed to provide a wide field of fire. The Gorroka Particle Cannons align at the port and starboard wings on turret superstructures, while the Galleon's conning tower rises from the aft section of the hull to offer a commanding view of the dorsal hull.

History

The Korri-class has represented the Cizerack Trade Navy as its de-facto ship of the line for the past 75 years. The Star Galleon standardized what previously was a hodge-podge of up-armored and armed heavy bulk freighters designed to guard valuable shipments beyond the Carshoulis cluster. In the final years of the Old Republic, the trade oligarchs of the Pride realized the decaying Republic could not be trusted to enforce security on the expanses of the Hydian Way that were under their control, therefore a nationalized effort was put forward to develop a homogenous Cizerack naval answer to the problem of rampant piracy and raiding that was all too frequent beyond their home systems. At the same time, the development of the Gorroka Heavy Particle Cannon gave the Huntress Admiralty an excuse to construct a capital ship large enough and capable to mount such a heavy weapon. As the Cizerack Navy was primarily only interested in securing free trade, these vessels were still considered cargo ships first and warships second, although the Korri was equally capable at accomplishing both missions, should the need arise.

With the rise of the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the advent of the Clone Wars, the Korri Star Galleons were pushed into direct combat roles against the Republic Navy. While they performed admirably against their Republic cruiser counterparts, the loss of the Cana'darri shipyards and the brutality of the Outer Rim Sieges limited the effect they could have during the war. In the aftermath, the Galactic Empire allowed the Cizerack Pride to retain their remaining contingent of Galleons, on the notion that the Cizerack problem would be handled better if they were treated as trade partners and proxies. It has been a relationship both sides resent, though that hasn't prevented trade from Star Galleons being seen in all corners of the galaxy, even beyond the Hydian Way.
