The Consular-class light cruiser, also known as the Consular-class space cruiser, and commonly referred to as the Republic Cruiser, was a starship used by the Galactic Republic during the events leading up to the Invasion of Naboo and during the Clone Wars.
Manufactured in the orbital shipyards of the Corellian Engineering Corporation, the Consular-class was a space cruiser propelled by three powerful Dyne 577 radial atomizer engines situated at the aft of the hundred-and-fifteen-meter vessel. It was also equipped with a Longe Voltrans tri-arc CD-3.2 hyperdrive, and protected by sturdy deflector shields generated from a cluster of radar dishes forward of its three engines. Aside from its shielding, the Consular-class was typically unarmed. A docking ring was located on the side of the vessel, and the bridge was situated at the fore, above a diplomatic salon pod.
