### Affiliation

Confederacy of Independent Systems

***Recusant-*class light destroyers** or commonly known as **Commerce Guild Destroyers** were Destroyers used for the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars era. 1 to 6 could easily outgun a *Venator-*class Star Destroyer.

## Characteristics

### Before the Clone Wars

The *Recusant-*class light destroyer was mostly controlled by an automated droid brain. This later proved to be a problem, as the droid brain has slower reaction time and often this caused it to run into other ships. Later, during the Clone Wars era, Grievous and other Leaders of the Confederacy had droids command the ship to prevent any more collisions.

### Weapons

The *Recusant-*class light destroyer had lighter armament than the other CIS ships. It was armed with oversized guns, similiar to the *Munificent-*class star frigate. It also had a heavy turbolaser on its prow. Additional weapons included four heavy turbolaser cannons, six heavy turbolaser turrets, five turbolaser cannons, thirty dual laser cannons, twelve dual light laser cannons and sixty point-defense laser cannons. This made the *Recusant* powerful during battles. 1-8 *Recusant-*class light destroyers could easily overpower a *Venator-*class Star Destroyer.

### Control Bridge

The *Recusant-*class light destroyer's control bridge is located in the front of the warship similar to the *Munificent-*class star frigate. Under the bridge, the *Recusant* has a Dual Laser Cannon that protects the bridge from being destroyed. Inside the *Recusant's* bridge, the ship is very similar to the *Munificent* but still a little different.

The bridge has 8 Driver battle droids manning it. The *Recusant-*class didn't have a chair for T-series tactical droids, Super tactical droids, and OOM command battle droids. Instead, they have to stand and control the bridge.

### Complement

While it wasn't meant to perform ground assault, the *Recusant-*class light destroyer is able to carry 40,000 B1 battle droids, 240 Droid Fighters, 30 Armored Assault Tanks and 1 *Sheathipede-*class shuttle. It is also able to carry one C-9979 landing craft under the hull of the ship prepared for very quick landing.
