Acclamator I-class Assault Ship

The Acclamator I-class assault ship is an armed, armored transport often used as a line warship by the Republic.

Overview
The Acclamator I is the first large warship available to build as the Republic. It is available from tech 1, it can be built at any space station of level 2 and higher, and it is available as free garrison to any space station of level 2 or higher.

It is armed with 2 turbolaser batteries, 2 point-defense laser cannon batteries, a proton torpedo launcher, and a concussion missile launcher. It has a hangar, from which the ship disgorges its two V-19 Torrent squadrons. It can divert power to shields.

The vessel is versatile, but its armor is somewhat weak. This can be offset somewhat by diverting power to shields, though this will not protect against missiles and torpedoes.

Uses

 * Extra fighters
 * Anti-fighter screen
 * Meatshield with boost
 * Pursuit of corvettes
