STARHAWK vs. ALLEGIANCE Star Destroyer | Star Wars Versus 1

The Allegiance-class battlecruiser was similar in appearance to both the Victory, Procursator and Imperial-class Star Destroyers, but was larger than all of them, reaching a length of 2,200 meters. Unlike the Victory and the Imperial, the Allegiance-class lacked ventral hangar bays. Like fellow hangarless models such as the Procursator and Tector-class, the model could seemingly only rely on its own exterior ordnance, as the Allegiance appeared to be unable to carry any starfighters or ground vehicles internally.

The terraced dorsal superstructure that surrounded the Allegiance‘s bridge tower was far smoother than those on the Imperial-class, allowing for better armor coverage and less exposure of the inter-plate surfaces.

The Starhawk was the prototype of the Starhawk-class battleship line, built in secret at the Nadiri Dockyards as part of the New Republic‘s Project Starhawk. It was assembled from the salvaged parts of Imperial-class Star Destroyers, including the Victorum. Being the prototype of the Starhawk line, it was the launching point for the New Republic to meet the larger capital ships of the Imperial Navy on equal terms.

It had many landing bays across multiple levels of the vertical portion, accessible from the rear, that could accommodate multiple CR90 corvettes and GR-75 medium transports at the same time. It was outfitted with turbolaser batteries, deflector shields, heavy durasteel armor, and six Magnite Crystal Tractor Beam Arrays that produced a tractor beam ten times more powerful as the ones equipped on a Star Destroyer. This tractor beam was sufficiently strong enough to act as a weapon in its own right, capable of tearing sections of hull plating clean off a starship’s superstructure.
