[Canon] Praetor Mark II-class Battlecruiser

The Praetor Mark II-class Battlecruiser is a much more powerful design of the pre-Clone Wars Praetor-class Battlecruiser. Compared to its predecessor, which was restricted in armament and hyperdrive capabilities by the Ruusan Reformations, this Imperial Period warship was to be reckoned with. However, due to the cost of production, and that Imperial strategy traditionally did not favor battlecruisers, few were made. Those that were fielded in the Imperial Navy were mostly to guard strategic places within the Core regions. One of the best known of its class, the Helmsman, was utilized a mobile communications ship to better coordinate attacks against the Rebellion.

The Praetor Mark II-class Battlecruiser sported an impressive armament, starfighter complement and troop capacity. 60 quad heavy turbolaser batteries, 40 twin medium turbolaser batteries, 10 twin long range ion cannon batteries, 30 twin ion cannons and 10 heavy tractor beam emitters was the full armament of this warship, all evenly distributed on both port and starboard sides. It could carry a complement of 120 starfighters and 14,000 troops, making it an ideal vessel for not only ship-to-ship combat but also ground assaults.
