New Class Modernization Program (Third Great Galactic War)

The New Class Modernization Program was a standardization project by the Republic Navy. The name also refers to starships developed as a part of the project.

Background
In 1 ABY, it was starting to become clear to the Galactic Republic high command that their navy, which was comprised of ship classes and designs dating back to the Clone Wars, was starting to show its age. Replacement parts became harder and harder to fabricate as the myriad classes with different interior designs and systems customized for their clone legions began taking their toll on fleet-wide maintenance.

In addition to this, the Republic's space doctorine was rapidly changing to starfighter superiority. Not only was the Imperial Navy unable to keep up, but the tactic was also effective against the less-numerous Rebel ships and cheap, often poorly-constructed Consortium vessels.

The program involved brand-new ship designs influenced by their predecessors. All interior systems were identical across all classes to simplify maintenance.
