Guardian-G2 Battleship

==Description==
This is a massive disk of durasteel plating, four hundred meters in circumference and one hundred meters tall. The top of this vessel is a shallow dome cluttered with countless tiny view ports, lit from within. The underside is less rounded, more conical in shape, and in the center a circular hole opens upward into a shielded docking bay, flanked with several tractor beam emitters. Equally spaced around the underside, enormous spherical repulsor-generators just peek their rounded undersides through the heavy armor plating. Around the circumference of the vessel the upper plating and the lower plating meet in a deep trench. Thrusting out from the trench every twenty degrees stands a turbolaser battery. The symmetry of the disc is interrupted only by a rectangular portion of the vessel raised out of the aft. Here cluster the powerful ion engines behind, the columns of shield generators around a raised bridge, and blast doors facing forward on the raised portion below.

This ships is widely recognized as the backbone of the Black Empire's fleet and was formerly the working ship of the Hutt Empire.
==History==
Early in the clone wars the backbone of the Black Empire and Hutt Armadas was the Supernova Heavy Cruiser. The Supernova was designed prior to the war to counter the Republic's fleet of Dreadnaught Battlecruisers and proved effective for this task. However, the introduction of the incredibly fast and well-armed MC80 Heavy Cruiser allowed Republic Forces to easily out-maneuver the Supernova. To make matters worse for non-Republic militaries, Palpatine and Kuat Drive Yards introduced the Victory Class Star Destroyer.
Darin Sacree, the founder of the Sacree-Avernus Shipyards, was approached by multiple investors who asked him to create and produce a line of ships to replace the cumbersome Supernova Cruiser and counter the Republic's new line of Star Destroyers. Using the massive influx of funding the engineers of the Sacree-Avernus corporation produced the Guardian Battleship. 
The Guardian has since become the backbone of most outer-rim fleets and is sought after even by system security forces within the Republic. It has already built a reputation among military circles as a reliable and powerful vessel that has proven itself in multiple campaigns.
