History
Edit
These stations had initial success in maintaining the peace and protecting rimward Imperial worlds in the aftermath of the Clone Wars, but were frequently taken over by pirates and criminal groups, forcing Kuat Drive Yards to produce more heavily armed and protected models.
Armament
Edit
The Cardan I was only lightly armed with two light turbolaser batteries and two light point-defense ion cannons. To assist defense, they also carried a squadron of starfighters and two shuttles.
Purpose
Edit
The Cardan I could hold off small capital ships and starfighters, and sometimes accompanied defense with corvette-sized capital ships, escort carriers, and other small ships of their own.
Appearances
Edit
- Star Wars: Empire at War (First appearance)
- Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
