Nebulon-class Exploratory Star Destroyer

Nebulon-class Exploratory Star Destroyer The Nebulon-class Exploratory Star Destroyer ,otherwise referred to by it's crews as the Nebulon-XL as a reference to its namesake the it featured a prow similar in shapes to the Nebulon-B which acted as a docking tower allowing it to dock with smaller freighters and in some cases larger star destroyers to deliver its cargo. It was used largely as a heavy escort ship or an exploratory ship in the Unknown Regions, though it's lackluster anti-ship armaments were sometimes a detriment in it's escort role. It was a rarity to see outside of the Imperium's space as it was used exclusivly to go deeper into the fringes of known space.

Charecteristics
The Smallest of the ships the Varino Imperium introduced in the years after the, it featured an almost beak-like protrusion from the front of the bottom of the ship that was the Docking Tower as well as acting as the mounting point for several light turbo lasers. The bridge of the ship was at the front of the ship as well though a smaller protrusion that was right above the Docking Tower, the ship had it's weapons mounted all across the ship with it's somewhat dagger-like shape continuing the Imperial Star Destroyers broadside centric design leading to fore and aft weaponry to be lackluster. It's prow was both heavily armoured and heavily shielded allowing it to brute force it's way through debris and asteroids.
