The Starcatcher-class destroyer was the first original capital ship design of Sluis Van Star Corporation, produced for and used by Dut Kol's League Defense Armada. The Starcatcher-class was designed to fulfill the role that the Imperial-class Star Destroyer filled for the Empire: a heavy-hitting multi-purpose capital ship that would form both the backbone of the navy's battle fleets and also help patrol the border systems of the realm.
Numerous Starcatchers participated in the Battle of Kinyen where they contributed significantly to the allied victory.
