Vessel Info

The Bothan Assault Cruiser was developed by the Bothan military and employed by the New Republic Defense Fleet shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invasion in 25 ABY. The 850 meter ship had a reasonably low crew requirement, 5,000 metric tons of cargo space, and two years worth of consumables. These ships were made to fill the role occupied by the aging Victory I-class Star Destroyer.

Defensively, the Bothan Assault Cruiser is a vast improvement to the Victory-class Star Destroyers it was intended to replace. Both armor and shields on the cruisers were 150 percent heavier than on the Victory-class, although in battle, when primary power is focused on weapons, the cruisers can be more open to heavy attacks.

History

This Bothan Assault Cruiser is named in honor of those who were lost during the Vong Incursion. It takes its name from the former flagship and fallen VSD Dark Prophet. The Dark Prophet II is the auxiliary command ship of Taldryan's Battlegroup I.

Complement & Assignment

The Dark Prophet II is the secondary command ship in Taldryan's Battlegroup I. It is also home to the elite fighter squadron, Hyperion Flight.
