CONSULAR-class REPUBLIC CRUISER



Consular-class Republic Cruiser- 1,250,000 ICs
The Consular-class cruiser was painted red to declare its diplomatic immunity and to also serve as a warning not to attack. The Republic cruiser was equipped with a salon pod that served as a secure meeting area for Republic representatives and leaders of groups in conflict. The cruiser's total capacity was 8 crew and 16 passengers. For increased security on diplomatic missions, the organic crew was kept to a minimum, with many ship functions attended to by droids. Although the diplomatic versions were unarmed, various cruisers were modified to have double turbo laser cannons and two concussion missile launchers installed and to serve in the Judicial Forces and regional security forces, at least some of which were then re-designated as Republic light assault cruisers. Others were modified to serve as troop carriers and command ships.
