DESCRIPTION​

The Ajuur-class battleship is a heavy capital warship - cruiser scale by the Anaxes War College classification system - which is primarily to be found in service to the Hutt clans as part of their various clan fleets. Some of the heaviest combat spacecraft fielded by the Hutts in any great numbers, they are a subject of mystery to most outsiders, as they are seldom seen outside Hutt space, and are mostly kept in reserve in systems where only Hutts and their most trusted slaves are permitted to venture.

Ajuur-class battleships date back to at least the Sith Wars, when they were used to enforce Hutt neutrality during the conflict. Since then, the design does not appear to have changed significantly, except for the general modernization of systems and weapons; it is possible, even likely, that many Ajuurs are thousands of years old, repaired and refitted many times over. The type has a long, barge-like hull, largely symmetrical at either end, with box-like weapon mounts spaced along port, starboard, dorsal and ventral surfaces. In the present day, these are equipped with a dual heavy turbolaser mount and a pair of quad laser turrets each, enough firepower to seriously hurt most opponents. There are also a quartet of torpedo launchers. The ship can carry a dozen starfighters as well, plus a few shuttles. Top speed is a stately 40 MGLT, and the Ajuur is equipped with a class 4 hyperdrive for interstellar travel. Crew compliment is some 200 sentients, plus up to 400 passengers, generally marines of some kind.

As mentioned, Ajuur-class battleships are seldom seen outside Hutt space. As a result, no-one is entirely sure how many the clans actually have, or indeed whether or not they are building more. Signs point this being true, as - especially since the start of the war which has plunged much of the Galaxy into conflict - the Hutts are likely to need all the firepower they can get in the near future.

LEGALITY​

Restricted. Ajuur-class cruisers are classified as capital ships under Galactic law, and possess heavy weapons. As such, should anyone ever manage to get one out of Hutt space, a civilian owner would require extra licensing to operate one legally, and would receive increased scrutiny by authorities.

INTENT​

To bring a vessel from canon into our site's fanon.

RESTRICTIONS​

Ajuur-class battleships are large capital ships with heavy weapons, and cannot be owned or operated by individual characters. They also may not be operated by non-Hutt characters, or at least not by characters without a very close association with the Hutts.
