Praetor II-class Star Battlecruiser

The Praetor II-class Star Battlecruiser is a smaller equivalent to a SSD, but for the section of the Astragon Navy known as Astragon's Eye (which relies on smaller ship designs).

Characteristics
The Praetor II is an evolution of the ancient Praetor I, and it has several major design changes. First, this ship is 4,800 meters long, or about a third bigger than the normal Praetor. Like many Imperial and Astragonian ships, it is dagger-shaped.

Unlike the bridge tower on typical Star Destroyers, the area of the ship where the bridge should be is quite deceiving to opponents. Rather, the bridge itself is nestled in the cylindrical section in such a way that no enemy can make a sneak attack on it without being exposed to weapons fire.

This ship has three main thrusters and four secondary, like Imperator-class Star Destroyers, but the engines are larger to propel the larger Praetor. Like a few other SSD classes, this ship also has the two dorsal ridges across its otherwise flat forward superstructure.

Like the TIE/s Smasher, which Astragon developed it alongside, this ship is one of the first to incorporate the super-heavy laser cannon technology and fuse it with modern turbolaser design. Not just that, but also the fact that a Praetor Mk. II has twelve of these guns on six dual turrets.

Secondary weapons on this ship include 184 quad heavy turbolaser turrets, 240 triple heavy turbolaser turrets, 80 heavy ion cannons, 80 assault concussion missile tubes, 20 heavy proton torpedo tubes, and 18 tractor beams, mainly to keep enemy ships close so the weapons can blow them away. Unusually for a ship this big, it only carries 74 starfighters - just two more than the Imperator, which is only a third the size of the Praetor. The main reason is a focus on close-range combat instead of long-duration carrier. However, all of these ships are TIE Smashers.
