The Acclamator II-class assault ship was a warship first used by the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars.[6]

Characteristics
Edit
Second in the Acclamator series of warships, the design was mainly aimed at planetary bombardment proficiency, converting the Acclamator I-class assault transport into a fully-fledged warship.[6] As a result of this, ships of this class had 80% less space available for troops.[4] Therefore, most fleets would only include one or two of these for orbital strikes while the majority of a given planetary assault fleet would be made up of the troop carrying LAAT/is.[source?]
The heavy proton torpedo launchers used were earlier models of those of the later designed Torpedo Spheres. They were designed to breach planetary shields but could also target other capital ships.[4] Its hyperdrive was also slightly slower than its predecessor, due to the modifications.
HistoryEdit
Throughout the Clone Wars, Rothana Heavy Engineering produced several different designs based on the Acclamator assault ships,[4] some of which functioned as true warships compared to the original design, which was meant for troop transport.[7] One derived design was the Acclamator II-class.[4]
It was primarily used by the Republic during the end of the Clone Wars,[4] but it also served the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War. It was often being used to reinforce the defense of Cardan-class space stations.[8][9] At least two were also used by the New Republic at the Battle of Mindor.
