Munificent - class star frigate / Legends The " Munificent " - class star frigate , commonly referred to as the Banking Clan frigate or the Banking Clan comms ship , was a warship used by the InterGalactic Banking Clan and by extension the Confederacy of Independent Systems . Characteristics . Dimensions . The " Munificent " - class was 825 meters in length and had a skeletal look , owing to the fact that these ships required a small crew to operate and were not designed to be carriers . Along the longitudinal spines of the ship ran tensor fields and the inertial compensator that helped maintain the structural integrity of the vessel . They had four extensive sensor and communications arrays affixed to the center of the hull in a cross - pattern . Several docking rings were located underneath these and the vertical arrays also had room for several point - defense cannons . Offensive and defensive systems . Banking Clan star frigates were light CIS warships armed for heavy combat with oversized guns , a massive twin turbolaser cannon , and two long - range ion cannons for use against capital ships . Complementing the heavy weaponry were 38 point - defense laser cannons for anti - starfighter firepower , and 26 twin turbolaser cannons and 20 light turbolaser turrets for flexible response . The twin turbolaser cannon was powerful enough to melt an ice moon measuring 1 , 000 km in diameter or pierce the shields of a 10 km - wide Grade III battle station . Six or Seven " Munificent " - class frigates were enough to outgun one " Venator " - class or " Victory " - class Star Destroyer . However , 4 " Munificents " were unable to stop the " Resolute " when trying to rescue Bolla Ropal . The ship had high - performance sensors with a range of several light - days positioned on the dorsal side of the ship . A forward scanner was situated on top of the vessel ' s command tower . Complement . Each ship of the class was capable of carrying 150 , 000 battle droids for boarding or ground operations , and were capable of shielding droid starfighters within their hulls . A system of docking rings lined the sides of each ship . In the forward hollow areas , war materials could be stored for transfer , while in times of peace , they were used to transfer valuable financial assets . In some models , hangar bays were positioned in the middle of the ship , where several starfighters were stored . These ships were also heavily shielded and could withstand significant firepower until destruction . Propulsion systems . The class was powered by twin reactors , placed side by side towards the middle of the craft . One reactor was enough to power the ship in an emergency . The two reactors together annihilated up to 2 , 300 tons of fuel per second . The " Munificent " superdense reactant tanks were positioned at the ventral side of the ship , underneath the reactors . A series of power feeds ran from the reactors out to the various antennas and sensor systems , where power cells were stored . Bridge tower . The command tower on a " Munificent " - class ship was located at the bow , rising diagonally from the superstructure . The tower contained a turbolift shaft that connected the various stations . Wide panorama windows were located on each level , providing good view of the surrounding area . The bridge itself was sparsely equipped with a few terminals on multiple levels , rising up like a pyramid . The ship commander stood at the top , with one operator on each side . These types of bridges were very vulnerable . History . Manufactured by Hoersch - Kessel Drive , Inc . and Gwori Revolutionary Industries , the star frigates were used by the Banking Clan to defend their private , secure comm network , harass worlds heavily in debt , transfer key financial assets , and guard treasure vaults . The " Munificent " acted as a key component of the Banking Clan ' s network by carrying hyperwave transceivers and communications arrays that allowed secure financial transactions to occur across the galaxy . When the Banking Clan joined the Confederacy , Chairman San Hill devoted a fleet of star frigates to the cause . The class became a staple of the Confederate Navy during the Clone Wars and formed the backbone of the fleet , with tens of thousands produced . The ships ' hulls bore the blue - and - white Confederate emblem and paint scheme , although many ships also bore both the green stripes of the Banking Clan and the Confederate colors . Towards the end of the war , thousands of " Munificent " frigates participated in the Battle of Coruscant . " Munificent " - class star frigates assisted the navigation and coordination of Confederacy fleets deep in enemy space . They also escorted and coordinated Separatist fleet actions such as attacks on the interstellar HoloNet relays to demoralize and isolate Galactic Republic forces . The Confederacy also took advantage of the star frigate ' s powerful antennae to broadcast anti - Republic propaganda while using its jamming devices to hinder enemy sensors , targeting systems and distress calls . After the Clone Wars ended , many crews took their " Munificent " s past the reaches of the Galactic Empire , becoming pirates and mercenaries . Some vessels later ended up in the Rebel Alliance , where many ships were extensively modified to the point where they barely resembled their original design . Behind the scenes . The official Databank entry on the frigate indicates that the organic , rounded appearance for the starship was meant to provide a stark opposite to the clean , triangular designs of Galactic Republic and Imperial starships , instead being more similar to the Mon Calamari cruisers participating in the Battle of Endor . In the young readers adaptation " " , the starships are erroneously identified as freighters in the Mission to sweep outer corridor of space chapter . It should also be noted that the warship ' s depiction in " " is fairly different from that seen in the film ; specifically , it is much simpler in design and somewhat truncated in appearance . Also , in Battlefront II , the ship is called ' Banking Clan Comms Ship ' .
