The Accusator is the Republic Navy’s primary escort ship. Providing more coverage than the Imperus destroyer, the Accusator is a light capital warship meant to take part in large-scale fleet actions in conjunction with larger, more powerful warships.
The Accusator is 2,950 meters in length, and has an impressive array of point defense weaponry; 180 quad pulse lasers dot its hull, perfect for swatting down incoming ordnance and strike craft. Its heavy anti-capital armament consists of 50 dual plasma cannons, arranged to allow for heavy broadside fusilades against enemy vessels.
With a top acceleration of 5 G’s, it is fairly slow, despite its small size. Given the ponderous nature of the larger capital ships it guards, it was not deemed necessary to give the Accusator powerful engines. It has moderate armor and shielding, being meant expressly for heavy combat, but it is still is small and fragile compared to the fleet’s larger starships.
While it only fills one role, the Accusator is considered an important part of the Republic Navy, used to fill out the numbers of individual fleets to give them two or three times as many vessels as they would have otherwise. It provides an otherwise unattainable weight of fire to any given formation.
