The ILH-KK Citadel-class civilian cruiser was a popular armed transport built by Koensayr during the final years of the Galactic Republic.^[1] It was first manufactured some time before the Battle of Naboo.^[3]

The Citadel-class shared some design features with the BTL Y-wing starfighter, which was considered a sister ship.^[3] It was extremely sturdy, and could take severe punishment and still get to its destination. It was designed for a group of people who wanted a starship, but could not afford a capital ship.^[1]

Due to their sturdy construction, these ships stayed in use for a long time and were transferred to many different owners.^[2] They were used as luxury yachts^[1] and as warships for the Rebels,^[2] freebooters, the Corporate Sector Authority,^[2] and pirates.^[1] This led to many of them having a jumble of various features; such as smuggling compartments, military add-ons, and luxury furnishings.^[2] They had two docking clamps to carry starfighters for additional protection and firepower.^[1]
