Provocator-class heavy cruiser

The Provocator-class heavy cruiser was a capital ship used by the Galactic Republic and Galactic Empire. 
== Overview ==
At 1,200 meters in length, the Provocator was equal in length to the Venator-class battlecruiser, while possessing a heavier armament and stronger overall spaceframe. By account of its heavier armament and larger engine assembly, the Provocator lacked the necessary hangar space to house a fighter complement. Many of the systems and components later integrated into the second production block of Imperator-class battleships were tested aboard Provocator-class ships. The class' spaceframe also served as the basis for the Immobilizer-class interdictor cruiser.
The Provocator's standard armament comprised 8 XY-10 triple turbolaser batteries, 6 JS-95 anti-ship concussion missile launchers and 20 XD-5 quad laser cannons.
