DESCRIPTION​

The Procurator-class battlecruiser is a monolithic Old Republic-era capital ship which was produced by Kuat Drive Yards starting at least 200 years before the Clone Wars. Considered among the most powerful warships of its day, the Procurator was used almost exclusively by the Kuat Defense Force, and served as much as an advertisement as an actual combat vessel, showing off just what the Kuat orbital yards were capable of producing to potential customers.

The Procurator is a massive vessel, 2,500 meters in length with a crew of 46,000 personnel. Although not well armed by the standards of later Imperial-era designs, the Procurator was more than a match for anything in space at the time, with dozens of turbolasers, ion cannons and other weapons, skirting the edge of what was possible under the restrictions of Republic-era naval treaties. As such, it does have a number of limitations; namely, it has a relatively slow maximum sublight speed of 40 MGLT with sluggish handling, typical of its era, and is saddled with a class 6 hyperdrive, preventing it from being a major threat much outside of its home sector without a significant logistical effort.

Although a pre-Clone Wars design, the Procurator had a major influence on later shipbuilding, with its lines being a direct influence on the Imperial-class star destroyers which would be the Galactic Empire's mainline warships. The class did serve during the Clone Wars, and acquitted itself well enough that it was retained in service by the Empire, with a number of new orders being placed after the war. The Imperial Procurators were used primarily as guard ships for important worlds in the Core, and seldom strayed far, meaning that they mostly missed out on the major fleet battles of the Galactic Civil War. Many were taken over by the New Republic Navy, although their high operating costs and limited range meant that most had been mothballed or scrapped by the time of the Hosnian Cataclysm.

In the present day, there are very few Procurators left in service, although the Kuat Defense Force still retains a number of theirs. Most surviving examples exist in museums or mothballed in forgotten military depots.

LEGALITY​

INTENT​

To create a standard battlecruiser, and to bring a ship from Legends canon into our site's fanon.

RESTRICTIONS​

Procurator-class battlecruisers are large capital ships with heavy weapons, and capital ships cannot be owned or operated by individual characters. The acquisition of such a ship by a faction must be thoroughly vetted by and coordinated with staff, and possession is subject to being revoked for any reason.
