The Mandator-class Star Dreadnaught was a warship developed by Kuat Drive Yards two decades before the Clone Wars as the centerpiece of the Kuat sector’s defense fleet. A humpbacked warship like its predecessor, the Procurator-class Star Battlecruiser, it was the first starship to receive the designation of Dreadnaught by the Anaxes War College. Regulations from the Ruusan Reformation limited the Mandator-class’s speed and armament, though they were still formidable warships. The Mandator-class’s ventral protrusion was the result of its large reactor. By the time of the Clone Wars, seven Star Dreadnaughts were in service—three in the Kuat sector, and one in each of the Azure, Ixtlar, Alsaka, and Humbarine sectors. Its successor, the Mandator II-class Star Dreadnaught, featured heavier armor, better weaponry, and better hyperdrive capabilities. The Mandator II-class was unveiled during the Clone Wars, which also saw three of the original Mandator-class ships refitted for combat.

The GX1 short hauler, also known as the GX1 hauler, GX1 diplomatic ship, Lantillian short hauler, Lantillian Hauler, or Lantillian shuttle, was a shuttle model manufactured by Lantillian ShipWrights. During the Clone Wars, the Galactic Republic used several top-of-the-line GX1 short haulers, including the Phoenix and the Valorous, as diplomatic vessels. During the Age of the Empire, GX1 shuttles were used as starbuses to ferry commuters from one location to another. Although the diplomatic variant was equipped with turret-mounted double laser cannons, the civilian starbus variant had no weapons.

The Tector-class Star Destroyer was a class of Star Destroyer in the service of the Imperial Navy during the Galactic Civil War. It notably differed from other Star Destroyer classes, as it lacked a ventral hangar bay. In 4 ABY, the Tector-class vessel Harbinger was part of the Galactic Empire‘s fleet defending the second Death Star over the Forest Moon of Endor.

After Rebel Alliance forces launched an assault on the seemingly incomplete battle station, the Imperial fleet trapped them, as planned by Emperor Palpatine. Just as the Alliance began attacking the Imperial ships, the rebel freighter Millennium Falcon crossed the hull of a Tector-class Star Destroyer. The Harbinger was later destroyed by advancing rebel vessels, and shortly after, the Death Star itself was destroyed, along with a large portion of the gathered Imperial forces.
