## Description:

With the
 recent acquisition of Eriadu Shipyards, Sluis Van Shipyards have begun
expanding their range. Using old schematics and designs utilized by the
Galactic Alliance Remnant during the Siege of Manaan, Sluis Van
Shipyards have begun manufacturing these vessels once more under the SVS
 brand. Due to their iconic history, these ships are often purchased by
rogue or rebel groups, and are of particular appeal to the more
organized rebel movements, as well as independent clusters such as the
Manaan Alliance.

Of these, perhaps the most iconic and
 instantly recognizable is the Galactic Alliance's Heroic-class Star
Destroyers. Heavy capital ships designed in the early years of the war,
the *Heroic*-class was
later adopted by the Jedi Order as mobile academy ships. Almost all
major GA battlegroups during the war also utilized these vessels, and
they were renowned for gaining significant victories throughout the war.
 Though the Galactic Alliance eventually fell to the Imperium, the
respect for the *Heroic*-class endured.

Just over two kilometers long, the *Heroic*-class
 was one of the largest ships of the line the Alliance had ever
produced, and were similarly heavily armed. Massive arrays of turbolaser
 cannons could unleash a withering hailstorm of fire while ion cannons
depleted even the heaviest shields. A mass of concussion missile tubes
could additionally unleash a massive payload on weakened vessels that
could decimate Imperium ships of the period.

While the Galactic Alliance utilized
such vessels as the Indomitable for ground support and planet-side
battles, the Heroic-class was designed for space superiority, first and
foremost. Able to transport up to 2,000 soldiers, these positions were
mostly filled with crack teams of marines for boarding operations while
point-defence cannons prevented the *Heroic*-class from missiles and enemy strikecraft.

The *Heroic*-class
 also served as a capable carrier - able to field a mixed wing of
short-range and long-range strikecraft on its own, the large
battlegroups of the Alliance often consisted solely of *Heroic*-class
 Star Destroyers, as they were capable of fieling massive numbers of
fightercraft without support from vessels such as the *Intrepid*-class.

Away from the front lines, *Heroic*-class
 warships were deployed to patrol entire sectors on their own, and were
capable of repelling fire from all but the largest vessels. In many
ways, the *Heroic*-class served to keep the Galactic Alliance unified, until the fall of Coruscant and the decimation of the Alliance leadership.

Despite its size, the ship was
exceptionally fast - able to keep up with much smaller corvettes and
frigates, the Heroic-class was an able pursuer of retreating forces, and
 it ion cannon arrays and tractor beams allowed it to disable and board
multiple vessels in the process.
