The twin turbolaser cannon was powerful enough to melt an ice moon measuring 1,000 km in diameter or pierce the shields of a 10 km-wide Grade III battle station. Ĭross-section showing one of two reactors powering a Munificent-class star frigateĬomplementing the heavy weaponry were 38 point-defense laser cannons for anti- starfighter firepower, and 26 twin turbolaser cannons and 20 light turbolaser turrets for flexible response. Offensive and defensive systems īanking Clan star frigates were light CIS warships armed for heavy combat with oversized guns, a massive twin turbolaser cannon, and two long-range ion cannons for use against capital ships.

Several docking rings were located underneath these and the vertical arrays also had room for several point-defense cannons. They had four extensive sensor and communications arrays affixed to the center of the hull in a cross-pattern. Along the longitudinal spines of the ship ran tensor fields and the inertial compensator that helped maintain the structural integrity of the vessel. The Munificent-class was 825 meters in length and had a skeletal look, owing to the fact that these ships required a small crew to operate and were not designed to be carriers.
