The Victory II-class frigate was a sword-shaped Republic and Imperial warship.
[edit] Characteristics
Its design was reminiscent of large command ships like the Super Star Destroyer Vengeance, due to the large wing-like extension on each side of the ship's rear, as well as its slim profile.
It also roughly resembled Vindicator-class heavy cruisers in shape and size, and had a small, slim bridge-section quite like the Acclamator-class assault ship.
[edit] History
Ships of this class participated in the Blockade of Yavin during the Galactic Civil War. Its armament included several heavy turbolaser turrets and it was powered by three large ion engines.
It is unknown what exact role the Victory II frigate had within the Republic Navy and Imperial Navy's strategy, but their deployment suggest it was at least not uncommon for them to serve as escorts. It can be assumed that the Victory II-class frigates fulfilled assignments largely similar to those of other frigates, such as the EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate.
