Judicial Fleet

The Judicial Fleet was the naval component of the Republic Judicial Forces, who served as the Galactic Republic's unofficial military from 1000 BBY to 19 BBY.

History
The Judicial Fleet (Classis Iudicialis) was founded alongside the Judicial Forces in the Ruusan Reformation, and was initially tasked with safely transporting prisoners from the Outer Rim to prisons in the Core Worlds. The Judicial Forces overall initially served as guards within these prisons or aboard Judicial ships. After the Judicial Forces were heavily militarized, the Judicial Fleet adopted several warships and began actively hunting pirates, smugglers, and treasure hunters. The Judicial Department cooperated with the Senate Guard to transport senators and other government officials using their ships. During major military operations during the Peace Era (such as the Mandalorian civil war, Stark Hyperspace War, Kol Huro Unrest, and the Yinchorri Uprising), the Judicial Forces and its naval components, led by masters of the Jedi Order, fought as soldiers rather than peacekeepers. At the start of the Clone Wars, the Republic Navy was signed into law and many of the Judicial Fleet's officers transitioned into the Navy, though elements of the Judicial Fleet remained active and served as supply ships, scout ships, and patrol ships. Judicial ships also transported penal troopers (typically alongside Judicial trooper units) between deployments during the Clone Wars. The Judicial Forces were disbanded following the Galactic Empire's formation, and remaining Judicial Fleet elements were absorbed into either the Imperial Navy or the Imperial Senate Guard Transportation Detachment.

Composition
The Judicial Fleet was divided into individual sector-based units such as the Outland Regions Security Force led by Ranulph Tarkin. In the time surrounding the Clone Wars, the Judicial Fleet had access to several reliable vessels, most of which corvettes, including:
 * Consular-class corvettes, typically served as transports for diplomats, negotiators, and senators.
 * Dreadnaught-class heavy cruisers, often reserved for combat operations or as escort ships.
 * Carrack-class light cruisers, used as supply ships or transports.
 * CR-70 corvettes, as patrol ships.
 * CR-90 corvettes, as patrol ships.
 * Amphibious Interstellar Assault Transports, used as infantry transports.
 * Z-95 starfighters (Headhunter variant)
 * A-6 starfighters
 * Delta-series starfighters
