Dagger-class battleship

Dagger

The Dagger-Class Battleship was the mainstay of the Galactic republic, the Dagger class light cruiser made up the vast majority of the Republic Forces fleet. The Dagger class, like the Galleon-class battleship, was a product of the Republic's '70s Armament Reinforcement Plan.' Though armed with six mega particle cannons, two missile batteries, and several machine gun turrets, the Dagger class proved highly ineffective in combat against Sith Union’s Jahat class light cruiser with its Variable attack fighter complement and more effective long-range weapons. Nonetheless, Daggers class cruisers were produced in such numbers that they were continually updated and refitted, with some remaining in service until at least 490 BBY. Dagger class ships, like the Galleon class, carried a small re-entry shuttle on the ventral hull.
