The Acclamator-class Absolution had been a mainstay of the Sadowan Navy since its procurement into the fleet. Under the careful and strategic command of Captain Madhi Jeisel, the ACC Absolution has seen many engagements ranging from landing assault troops on Tarthos to invading the surface of Korriban during the Great Jedi War XI. Designed as the main troop carrier of the Army, the ACC Absolution has solidified its place as a strong, strategic asset for the Clan.

Characteristics
The 725-meter-long Acclamator-class assault transport carries thousands of troopers into battle. The Acclamator favored a wedge or dagger design. Due to its effectiveness, it allowed concentration of firepower while minimizing target profile. This basic design was used in a number of larger craft predating it and would define Imperial ships for decades to come. The standard Acclamator-class ship is armed with 4 heavy torpedo launch tubes, 24 point-defense laser cannons, rated at 6 megatons per shot; and 12 quad turbolaser turrets each rated at a maximum of 200 gigatons per shot. There armament goes on to include concussion missiles and fusion rockets. The hull armor of the Acclamator-class was impregnated with ultra-dispersive neutronium that withstood and spread massive energy blasts. Fusion rockets fired by enemy forces barely made a scratch on the hull as a result.
The Acclamator-class’s main reactor was located in the middle of the vessel, inside the main superstructure and was preceded by the frontal half of the ships by multiple fuel tanks. The tanks compressed the hypermatter to enormous density for storage. The tanks were connected to the main reactor via pipe assemblies. Secondary reactors were located towards the bow of the vessel. The ship’s main thrusters were fitted with the eight electromagnetic rudders that deflected the exhaust particle streams and gave boost when turning the ship. The secondary thrusters did not provide as much power, but were useful for maneuvering due to being placed further away from the ship’s main axis. The massive fin at the stern of the Acclamator-class contained both the anti-gravity generator and the ship’s hyperdrive generator.
When landed the repulsorlift carried much of the ship’s weight, but the landing legs maintained a stable contact with the ground.
Capabilities
Something of note is that a group of Acclamator could perform a Base Delta Zero, an orbital bombardment that would exterminate all life on a planet. The later Acclamator II-class could also serve as star frigates to support landing parties. It’s not well known that Acclamator-class ships were capable of water landing. The ACC Absolution can carry upwards of 16,000 assault troops and support personnel. With a cargo capacity of 11,250 metric tons it can carry a good amount of assault craft, but doesn’t leave room for escort fighters. This vessel's primary responsibility is to land a large amount of ground forces so they may be deployed to the battlefield in numbers.
Role in the Warhost Navy
The Absolution serves as Naga Sadow's primary troop carrier and assault ship, carrying the largest single section of the Warhost Army and mechanized forces. It's primary mission is to deliver large amounts of ground troops to a battlefield. Because it carries so many personnel and vehicles, it is a heavily protected asset. The Absolution does not typically spearhead an invasion. Instead, it is carefully escorted and offloads troops to reinforce advance groups, once it is safe to enter the atmosphere.
In addition, the Absolution is a capable frigate, sporting enough turbolasers and strong enough armor and shields to support the fleet in smaller deep space operations. However, it is rarely used for this.
Aside from planetary engagements, the Absolution's large cargo capacity allows it to be used as an auxiliary ship during long deployments, and as a central hub to store captured resources and personnel from enemy factions.
History
Following the destruction of most of the Sadow fleet in 36ABY, the Clan sought to quickly rebuild its fleet from whatever they could find. The Absolution was one such ship. The Acclamator was acquired by Naga Sadow between Zoraan's invasion and the beginning of the Dark Crusade. For the entirety of the Crusade, the Absolution served as the fleet's main troop carrying capital ship, and the only one authorized to land for planetary assaults, as the Covenant had been outfitted with gravity wells and would be primarily used for deep space combat and interdiction. The ship carried the Naga Sadow war machine to every world the Clan assaulted, earning numerous awards and accolades for the skill of her crew and the smooth deployment of the military.
In between Dark Crusade missions, the Absolution generally stayed in the Orian System, primarily serving in war games and other training scenarios. It was occasionally used to transport bulk goods for the Clan, because of it's large cargo capacity.
To this day, the Absolution continues to serve as the Clan's primary planetary assault vessel, carrying the largest embarked contingent of Warhost troops, although it is supplemented by the star destroyers Damnation, Harbinger, and Covenant.
Dark Crusades
During the Dark Crusades, the Absolution would become one of the primary vessels and would earn the respect of many. Over the course of the Crusade, the Absolution and it’s compliment of equipment and troops invaded many worlds at the orders of the Iron Throne.
One of the largest troop carriers the Clan has in it’s arsenal, the ACC Absolution played a strategic role in landing the forces of the Warhost to the besieged surface of Tarthos. Although the battle raged in space, the ACC Absolution made it to the ground with only minor damage unleashing the Sadowan troopers to assist in repelling the Gomorag incursion.
War on Korriban
As the Iron Throne laid siege to Korriban to obtain immortality, the ACC Absolution was Clan Naga Sadow's answer to land a large number of troops near the Valley of the Dark Lords. Many ships were lost that day, but due to Captain Jeisel’s command experience, she was able to safely navigate the ship to the surface and once the engagement was over; safely navigate it back to the shipyards in the Orian System for much need refit and repair.
