Venator II-class Star Destroyer

Originally a late war Imperial Destroyer, the Venturer was one of the last few Venator Class Destroyers in service with the Imperial Navy as it became relegated to rear line duties and training roles. The ship fell into Rebel hands after a mutiny staged by Captain Kuznetsov in which ensured the expulsion of Pro Imperial officers and crew members while integrating any who remained into the growing Alliance, gaining valuable technicians, officers, engineers, and pilots. The ship then underwent extensive modernization and reconstruction programs on deep space Rebel Shipyards where all of its components were modernized and replaced with new equipment, the last of which was undertaken at the new Dosuun Cosmodrome which was completed in late 1 BBY. The new ship boasted improved navigational and targeting equipment, allowing its turbolasers to gun down enemy starfighters like those on Mon Calamari warships, along with this an additional eighteen turbolaser cannons, giving the venator full 360 degree fire coverage, alleviating the Venators previous flaw. The point defense systems were upgraded as well to newer, faster firing weapons while reducing the amount of platforms onboard. The spaces reserved for optional mounted deck guns were enlarged, and twelve heavy ion cannons were installed permanently in those spaces. Finally and most expensively, its main and auxiliary reactor and power supply units were replaced with new parts and equipment, increasing its power generation and endurance. All these changes did come at a cost though, with the removal of its heavy proton torpedo tubes and hangar space to make room for the additional electronics and armaments, bringing its starfighter capacity down to 240 embarked craft, slashing it almost entirely in half. Its final set of upgrades to complete the list was the replacement of its old shielding system with modern mon calamari designs, greatly improving its defensive capacity, along with armoring to its flight deck, hangars, and central spine for improved durability.
