Consequently, the Acclamator favored a wedge or dagger shaped design due to its effectiveness - it allowed concentration of firepower while minimizing target profile. Its mission profile required it to both carry troops and engage enemy starships - the Acclamator was designed to assault contested systems, break hostile orbital blockades, and land troops directly on the battlefield. The Acclamator-class assault transport was 752 meters long, 460 meters in width, and 200 meters in height. It was the predecessor of the Star Destroyer line. Most Acclamator I's have been scrapped as most people feel the ship is outdated and underpowered.The Acclamator-class assault ship, alternatively referred to as Republic assault ship, was an assault-class capital ship created for the Galactic Republic by Rothana Heavy Engineering. It can still be found in use for its original purpose: as a troop transport though sometimes it can be found serving as a well-armed freighter. In modern times, the Acclamator I is rarely found in service. Both attempts were made obsolete by the later commissioning of newer vessels. Some attempted to rearm the ship, others to add a fighter hanger to it. Later redesigns saw the ship altered for various purposes. Occasionally, the Acclamator I was deployed to assault fleeing enemy ships and freighters. Capable of landing to deliver troops, the Acclamator I was designed to assault ground positions, ground troops, and fend off fighter attacks. During this time, they were utilized primarily as troop transports against Separatist forces and were armed for the part. Rather, this vessel was designed and originally commissioned during the Old Republic. This meant the role of the ship was rarely as a ship-to-ship combatant.ĭespite being a predecessor to Star Destroyers, the Acclamator I-class Assault Ship has seen almost no deployment under the Imperial flag.
Unfortunately, unlike later ships utilizing the same design, the Acclamator I lacked the heavy armament of later designs. This shape allows all weapons' fire to focus on the forward firing arc, as well as covering all other firing arcs except for the rear, which as with all other wedge shaped ships became a great weakness.
Relatively small in size, the Acclamator I-class Assault Ship was one of the earliest designs utilizing what would later become a trademark of Imperial ships the imposing wedge shape.
