Acclamator-class Assault Ship

The Acclamator-class assault ship, alternatively referred to as the Acclamator-class trans-galactic military transport ship or Acclamator-class transgalactic military assault ship, or by the shorter names Acclamator-class transport, Acclamator-class troopship, or the rarer Acclamator I transport, was an assault-classcapital ship created for the Galactic Republic by Rothana Heavy Engineering. It was the predecessor of the Star Destroyer line.

Dimensions
The Acclamator-class assault transport was 752 meters long, 460 meters in width, and 200 meters in height.[1] Its mission profile required it to both carry troops and engage enemy starships: the Acclamatorwas designed to assault contested systems, break hostile orbital blockades, and land troops directly on the battlefield. Consequently, the Acclamator favored a wedge or dagger shaped design due to its effectiveness—it allowed concentration of firepower while minimizing target profile. This basic design was used in a number of larger craft pre-dating it and would define Imperial ships for decades to come.[4]

The underside of the Acclamator was dominated by a large assault hangar capable of offloading an entire legion of clone troopers and their vehicles in short order.[4] Most of the passenger and barrack decks were located on the upper levels of an Acclamator-class ship.[1]

The bridge was located in the middle of an arrow-shaped command tower module that protruded from the dorsal superstructure. This tower module was a standard design for smaller ships in Kuat Drive Yards'sstarship catalog, which Rothana supplied vessels to. The main bridge and command center had no windows but relied upon advanced holoscreens[1] shaped like the triangular viewports similar to the ones on other Kuat vessels.[12] The bridge crew usually consisted of fully-armored clone pilots manning the control panels,[13] with most operators being seated in twin crew pits below the command officer's area.[12][14] Sensor and communications suites were located at the front of the ship's command tower.
