The Adz-class patrol destroyer was a type of small capital ship used by the forces of the Galactic Empire in the later stages of the Galactic Civil War.
==Design==
The Adz was armed with six weapons batteries, all carried in turrets: three class-D quad laser cannon and three class-B dual ion cannon, plus a flight of six TIE fighters. Among its sensors was a solution antenna, which enabled it to track ships in hyperspace. It was designed with the most recent advances in slave circuitry so as to require as small a crew complement as possible. The minimum crew required to operate the ship was just twelve, but it usually carried six additional deck crew, six TIE pilots, eight soldiers, and twelve gunners to man the weapons. Automation allowed just two gunners to operate each battery of weapons, which in turn allowed them to concentrate fire on targets with much more precision. This reduced the number of personnel needed for patrol duty, as well as the cost of training new recruits.

To augment its light armament, the Adz increases its offensive capabilities by maintaining a strong fighter presence on board. As a result of their current widespread distribution one may see many varieties of fighters launched from its docking bays. This ship has hyperspace capabilities to match most other capital ships as well as many large civilian freighters, but is generally outpaced by varieties of smaller freighters and fighter class ships. For this reason, some of these vessels opt to carry fighters with faster hyperdrives to engage these foes if their ion cannons can not deal a disabling blow before pursuit is necessary.

In sublight travel, an Adz-class ship would reach a velocity of around one million kilometers per hour after several hours of flank-speed acceleration, and it required less than ten minutes to decelerate down to station-keeping speed

==History==
The Adz-class Patrol Destroyer was developed toward the end of the first Galactic Civil War by the Galactic Empire for the purpose of tracking and pursuing targets through hyperspace. Given the increasing threat of rebel activity and the growing strife in the galaxy, the Adz was designed to serve as an independent support ship for the Imperial fleet in the roles of patrol and customs inspections for illegal contraband. With long term deployment away from the Core in mind a significant amount of automation was built into the design, with several redundancies, giving the destroyer a rugged electrical system.
