==History==
Heavier cruisers and battleships in the Republic Navy were often termed ships of the line when part of the naval unit known as a "section." The section in turn was called a "line" when encompassing groups of heavier warships.
In the Imperial Navy, the individual Imperial-class Star Destroyers were made into lines by themselves.
In the Rebel Alliance Fleet, ships of the line included a type of vessel similar to a Luke Skywalker's scout craft, but larger.
