## Player Evaluation

The Acclamator Assault ship is an excellent early game battle carrier that features point defense weapons and assault missile launchers to counter frigates and corvettes. Acclamators also bring their complement of fighters, with a contingent of T-Wings and ARC-170 starfighters to keep fighter superiority over the battle. If need be, the Acclamator has the power to weapons ability that greatly increases the strength of it's weapons and their firerate. The point defense of the Acclamator is perfect for mowing down enemy fighters that approach your formation. However, with this hanger and weapons systems the survivability of the Acclamator is extremely low compared to other frigates, being quite squishy when exposed to ships such as the Alliance Light Frigate. The price cost is however moderate with the build time being fairly quick.

Strategies are more restricted to support roles, since the Acclamator has low agility and could not hope to win one on one fights. Instead it relies on more tanky and stronger ships to take the fall. One ship in particular that works well with the Acclamator is the Providence-class Destroyer, which provides ample protection and features firepower to engage stronger ships. Keeping them in your backline is of the upmost importance, as losing them would be detrimental due to their fighter complement.

An arch enemy that you should beware of is artillery ships especially. Frigates such as the Twin-blade frigate and corvettes like the Arquitens are very troublesome. The long range turbos decimate what little health the Acclamator has, and should be avoided at all costs.

Note that an as an Empire player your Acclamator's fighter loadouts can be upgraded, if you choose to do so however you will lose the access to the V-Wings and ARC-170s, Black Sun Acclamators can be upgraded to the Acclamator Assault Ship (Refit), replacing the fighter bay with additional reactors to power additional weapon systems.

## Lore Description

The Acclamator Assault Ship was designed and produced by Rothana Heavy Engineering, a subsidiary of Kuat Drive Yards who are famous for producing the Venator-class Star Destroyer. Designed specifically for combat, the Acclamator was the main ship used in the Clone Wars by the Republic before the first Venators were used. Initially serving a dual purpose as a troop transport and cruiser, the Acclamator was an extremely versatile design that could be customized easily to the Republic's needs. First Appearing by serving in the Battle Of Geonosis, the Acclamator was instrumental in winning the battle with the sheer number of clones they could carry. Throughout the war they served with distinction, and were later modified into battle carriers by the end of the war.

Akin to it's bigger brother the Venator, the Acclamators were still used in the Empire's military regime as patrol vessels and occasional combat with small rebel cells. The massive amount of troops and large hangers proved very useful for rooting out raiding pirates and rebels alike. Although, the scramble of the Empire had been detrimental to organization and many Acclamator Assault Ships found themselves in illegal hands on the Black Market. As a relatively modern ship, it served a high price on the Black Market. Only large criminal organizations could afford such a craft, hence the Black Sun found themselves in possession of numerous ships. Various modifications were made to make these Acclamators useful in the current era, with improved weapons, a better reactor, modified hanger space to accommodate advanced fighter loadouts, and various other improvements that made the Acclamator worthy of combat.
