Article Theme/Topic: Republic Star destroyer “Venator” (RSD “Venator”)

General Information Body Paragraph:

The Venator star destroyer was one of the main ships of the fleet of the Great Republic, basically acted as a strike aircraft carrier with a large enough air group to arrange a lot of problems for its opponent.

History/Background Body Paragraph:

RSD “Venator was designed and built at the Kuat shipyards by Lyra Wessex (who also designed the ISD). the ship went through the entire Clone War being both the main ship of the fleet and a support ship for more powerful battleships (Victory 1, for example). The Venators participated in many battles, they made a special contribution to the battle over Coruscant where they had to fight with a large fleet of the Confederacy of Independent Systems (KoIS). After the war, the Venators, though in small numbers, still continued to serve the empire, although at that time there were already more advanced Star Destroyers, but no one was going to abandon the time-tested Venators.

Additional Information Body Paragraph 

RSD “Venator was one of the largest ships capable of landing on the surface of the planet (its length was 1,337 meters)! The abundant anti-aircraft artillery consisting of light laser cannons posed a big problem for enemy aircraft, and 8 turrets with twin turbolasers of the DBY 827 model caused significant damage to enemy ships and were even able to resist aviation if necessary. Venator has a total of 4 hangars: the main hangar in the upper hemisphere, 2 hangars on the sides and one cargo hangar in the lower hemisphere. It is worth noting that despite its size, the Venator was a fairly mobile and fast ship in its class. During the war, many damaged venators were simply left to drift in space and after a while some of them found and restored various groups that had enough resources and personnel to maintain this ship.
