Frigate
(Backup) Class 15.0
(1) Concussion Missile Tube
The Star Galleon-class frigate was an armed freighter and escort frigate used by the Imperial Navy.
Design
The Star Galleon-class was a transport that could act as its own escort. Armed with ten medium turbolaser cannons and a Concussion Missile Launcher the Star Frigate-class could defend itself from most threats. The interior contained sophisticated anti-intruder defenses, and was defended by a ship's complement of up to three hundred troopers. As a last resort, the cargo hold could actually be detached, and sent into hyperspace as a separate vessel. A built-in homing device allowed Imperial agents to track the cargo hold as it automatically jumped at random through hyperspace.
History
Despite the promise of safety and security in the Galactic Empire, Imperial freighters were being attacked or stolen at an alarming rate. In response to the loss of numerous cargo shipments from pirate and Rebel attacks, the Empire decided to develop a capital ship combining sophisticated weaponry and shields with a 100,000 ton cargo capacity.
