Design
The Venator was one of the largest capital ships capable of atmospheric operations, landing on planets to Deploy troops and vehicles. The Mani weapons of the Venator are the eight DBY-827 Double heavy turbolaser turrets. These weapons had selectable power intensity settings. They included fast-tracking mode for short ranged rapid targeting fire capable of targeting and firing on a target in less than three seconds. Long targeting mode can be selected for targeting vessels over two hundrid kilometers. Almost all power from the Venators reactor can be diverted to these weapons for high power mode. This mode was often used to vaporize targets. Continuous mode uses a low power setting to provide a continuous fire flak like pattern This mode could sustain fire for long periods of time before overheating. Two Doouble Turbolaser cannons and fifty two laser cannons offered defensive protection against smaller corvettes and fighters. Rounding out the multi-role weapons configuration four heavy torpedo tubes gave the Venator planetary bombardment capabilities
History
The Venator-class was born from the success of the Acclamator-class assault ship and was designed by Lira Blissex as a versatile multi-role Te warship.
