ShaShore - class frigate The " ShaShore " - class frigate was a capital ship that served in the New Republic Defense Fleet during the Yuuzhan Vong War and later in the Galactic Alliance Defense Fleet around 100 years afterwards . A fast and versatile starship , the " ShaShore " - class saw extensive use during the Sith – Imperial War and the subsequent operations that followed . Many of these frigates were part of Admiral Gar Stazi ' s Galactic Alliance Remnant fleet . Characteristics . Like its larger cousin , the " Scythe " - class battle cruiser , the " ShaShore " - class was designed with a large , blade - like structure centered on the ventral section of the ships ' s bow . In its standard armament configuration , the " ShaShore " was equipped with multiple turbolaser batteries , point - defense cannon s , and a pair of proton torpedo batteries . The ship ' s port and starboard hangar bays were capable of housing up to twenty four CF9 Crossfire starfighter s and two " Crix " - class shuttles . Role . The " ShaShore " - class frigate was designed for greater speeds and maneuverability , at the cost of less armor . A smaller blade positioned directly in front of the main blade was designed to carry one of several specialized modules , ranging from barrage - style concussion missile launchers , to an advanced sensor suite or communication jammers . " ShaShore " frigates often were deployed as escorts for " Scythe " - class battle cruisers . At the Battle of Dac , at least four " ShaShore " - class frigates and several " Sabertooth " - class assault ships served as the escort for Admiral Stazi ' s flagship " Indomitable " . History . The " ShaShore " - class had a predecessor design that served in the Alliance Fleet during the early years of the Galactic Civil War . An early model of the " ShaShore " - class was used during the Yuuzhan Vong War and participated in the Battle of Shramar . The " ShaShore " - class frigate later became part of a larger program of Galactic Alliance warships produced at the Mon Calamari Shipyards in the decades following the defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong . Unlike larger designs such as the " Scythe " - class battle cruiser and " Tri - Scythe " - class frigate , which were purpose - built , the " ShaShore " - class was capable of being augmented to numerous other secondary roles . Many " ShaShore " - class frigates fought at the Battle of Caamas , with at least one being destroyed by heavy Imperial fire . Following the formation of the Galactic Alliance Remnant , remaining " ShaShore " - class frigates saw continued heavy usage , as both a warship and diplomatic courier . One " ShaShore " transported Admiral Gar Stazi to the Wheel to conduct negotiations with Captain Mingo Bovark of the Imperial faction loyal to Emperor Roan Fel . In the months following the aborted negotiations on the Wheel , several of the frigates were part of a task force under Admiral Stazi that captured the Advanced Star Destroyer prototype " Imperious " during the Battle of Dac . That major victory gave the Alliance a must needed morale boost , as well as a state - of - the - art capital ship prototype . Later in 137 ABY , numerous " ShaShore " - class frigates were part of a combined GA - Fel loyalist operation against Sith naval forces . Behind the scenes . In its first appearance , the frigate was accidentally named a " Sabertooth " , which is the name of another Galactic Alliance vessel . Until the publication of the " Legacy Era Campaign Guide " , there was no confirmed class name for the " ShaShore " frigate . When drawing the cover for Dark Horse Comics " Star Wars 11 " , artist Sean Cooke added a detail showing an aging " ShaShore " - esque ship as part of the Rebel Alliance fleet .
