Vessel Info

Dimensions

The 752-meter-long Acclamator I-class assault transport carried thousands of Republic clone troopers into battle. The Acclamator I favored a wedge or dagger shaped design, like the Republic warships during the Mandalorian Wars, 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.

Offensive and Defensive Systems

These ships were 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. They were also armed with concussion missiles. Groups of these ships could perform an orbital bombardment that would exterminate all life on the planet. It also had the capabilities to perform water landings as well as ground landings.

The sensor and communications suites were located at the front of the ship's command tower.

The hull armor of Acclamator-class vessels 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.

Complement

Acclamator I-class ships also carried support equipment and vehicles, such as the AT-TE and SPHA walkers, used to provide clone troopers with heavy battlefield support. Each Acclamator I-class ship held 320 speeder bikes, used by clone troopers for fast battlefield reconnaissance and patrol duties. Eighty LAAT gunships were carried to insert personnel, vehicles, and cargo into battle zones in addition to providing close air support.

Gunships were suspended along an overhead circulating rail in the upper hangar for maintenance procedures during travels. A lower, smaller hangar area was used to embark and disembark ground troops and material when landed. The two levels were connected with elevator platforms. Most of the passenger and barrack decks were located on the upper levels of an Acclamator-class ship.

Like many of the ships in the Sadowan fleet, a section of crew quarters near the hangar has been set aside for the Clan's Verpine and converted into a hive-like structure.

History

Following the destruction of most of the Sadow fleet in 36ABY, the Clan sought to quickly rebuild it's fleet from whatever they could find. The Absolution was one such ship.

Command Crew

Role

The Absolution's function in the Naga Sadow fleet is primarily planetary assault. After other elements of the fleet have created a safe perimeter, the Absolution descends to the surface of a world and offloads the Sadowan military. For extended operations, the Absolution can be used as a mobile supply and material cache for the rest of the fleet.
