The Cantwell-class Arrestor Cruiser, also designated as the Cantwell-class 410 cruiser, was a type of cruiser used by the Galactic Empire. Manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards at the request of the Department of Imperial Justice and the Imperial Navy, it featured three powerful tractor beam projectors which it used to ensnare suspect vessels and steer traffic away from construction zones. One Arrestor was notably featured in an Imperial recruitment film that was displayed in the Coronet City Spaceport. Several Arrestors were deployed to the construction site of the DS-1 Death Star Mobile Battle Station over Scarif along with an Imperial-class Star Destroyer.
The Cantwell-class, named after famous starship designer Walex Cantwell Blissex I was an Arrestor cruiser utilized by the Galactic Empire's Department of Imperial Justice. Like some other warships used by the Galactic Empire, the Cantwell-class Arrestor Cruiser was shaped like a narrow arrowhead. However, the tip of the arrow was located at the stern of the ship, unlike the Imperial-class Star Destroyers for example. The inverted triangle-frame ended midway along the hull, leaving the front half of the ship long and narrow. Arrestor cruisers were uniformly painted a light shade of gray, in keeping with the Empire's preference for muted colors.
