A Recusant-class light destroyer was used by the Supreme Commander of the Confederate droid army, General Grievous at the Battle near the Arda system and Battle of Saleucami as a command ship.
Description
Edit

Grievous's command ship flanked by three Munificent-class frigates
The Recusant-class light destroyer[1] surpassed the Republic's Venator-class Star Destroyer in length and could easily outmatch its firepower with some assistance from Munificent-class star frigates. It had several large cannons positioned near the bridge section, which was itself based on the Munificent-class' bridge tower. There was also heavy turbolaser on the prow. It could carry a C-9979 landing craft on its ventral surface and, unlike regular Recusants, was equipped with hangars,[2] one of the modifications unique to the ship.[4]
History
Edit
The vessel was used to board Eeth Koth's flagship and kidnap the Jedi Master, setting a trap for the Republic task force sent to save him and in turn kidnap Grievous. It was later severely damaged and left to drift after capturing a Arquitens-class light cruiser and targeting it at point blank range.[2]
