Immolator-class Star Frigate

After the Nebulon B project failed to win over the favor of the imperial navy, Kuat drive yards realised their need for more specialised vessels over mediocre warships, and adjusted their designs to build a frigate more suitable for the strategy of the imperial navy. By deducting hanger space and redundant communications equipment, the Immolator star frigate was made as a compact, multi-purpose warship able to deliver its adequate firepower both as an independent raider and as part of a larger battlegroup. Designed specifically to be fast enough to keep pace with an imperial star destroyer and equipped with a class 1 hyperdrive, the Immolator star frigate was often dispatched as an emergency response whenever a rebel incursion is reported to a sector’s head command, able to outrun and outgun most vessels of its weight class, while able to evade the pursuit of larger mon calamari warships.
