The Allegeance is the smaller, more advanced sibling of the Praetor. Like its predecessor, it was tasked with group command.
Design
Designed to replace the older and much larger Praetor Star Battle Cruisers, the main battery of these large vessels are the twelve large octuple barbettes, 6 each flanking the superstructure, and the nine long range heavy ion cannons along the port and starboard rim. Other heavy and medium turbolaser batteries are distributed along the rim, and on the dorsal and ventral hull. Twenty ion cannons line the prow, 10 to each rim, for disabling smaller vessels. Twenty assault torpedo tubes located at the base of the superstructure, eight forward, six port and six starboard, form the bombardment battery of the Allegiance. Meant to be an orbital bombardment weapon, many Imperial commanders have found they can be used for ship-to-ship duty as well.
The class was designed as a Heavy Support and Command vessel, and therefore was not fitted with large hangers for fighters and bombers. A small hanger on the forward ventral side houses shuttles, and can accommodate small personal transports. The lack of fighter craft means these vessels are meant to work with other vessels and escorts, which provide fighter support, and can not operate individually like most other ships of its class.
History
Designed by KDY engineers and built at the secret Byss Deep Core Fleet Yard, these new ships will phase out older command ships and battlecruisers. Only one vessel of the class, the Allegiance, was commissioned at the time of Endor. The eleven other hulls have yet to be commissioned, as resources and personnel have been redeployed, causing production to halt.
