Neutron Star-Class Bulk Cruiser
Ship Class: Bulk Cruiser
Ship Role: Freighter/Patrol Vessel
Ship Length: 600 meters
Agility (A): 2
Defensive (D): 3
Offensive (O): 3
Speed (S): 2
Special Gear: 2 (Hangar Space [Optional], Troop Capacity)
The Neutron Star-class bulk cruiser was a class of capital ship used by the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance, manufactured by Rendili StarDrive. They were designed during the Clone Wars to serve as second-line ships. The Neutron Star-class was 600 meters long. By the Galactic Civil War, the design had become outdated and easily challenged and outgunned by most up-to-date capital ships. It was slow in comparison with many of its counterparts, as well as prone to frequent damage. It required a crew of 2,200 and could carry up to 250 troops. Armed with 24 Heavy Bulk Cruiser Turbolasers, 25 Heavy Laser Cannons and 2 Heavy Tractor Beam Emitters, it was reasonably armed.
Despite their slow speed, their engines consumed high amounts of fuel, which somewhat limited the range of these vessels. The Neutron Star also required frequent and expensive maintenance to operate, making it quickly replaced by most organizations that could afford it. Technicans and mechanics of the Alliance Fleet found the maintenance time and resources that the Neutron Star class vessels required problematic but the ship starved Alliance was unwilling to discard the vessels completely. Instead they converted some of the ships into carriers. This was done by converting Cargo storage areas into hangers for three squadrons of starfighters (36), but also the modifications altered the design's armaments and crew requirements while upgrading both the primary and backup hyperdrives. The unmodified models carried no fighters at all.
