Description
The Acclamator class transgalactic military assault ship, also known as Acclamator class Republic assault ship, Acclamator class Planetary Assault Ship, or Acclamator class battleship, or Acclamator class cruiser, was a type of cruiser-class proto-Star Destroyer utilized by the Galactic Republic for ferrying clone troopers across the galaxy. They were first deployed at the First Battle of Geonosis after transporting the clone army from Kamino, and subsequently carried the Grand Army of the Republic from Coruscant to the various arenas of the Clone Wars, a conflict in which they would see extensive use. Unlike many ships of its size, the Acclamator class could land on the surface of planets to deploy its forces.

The Acclamator class transgalactic military assault ship was developed by Rothana Heavy Engineering, a subsidiary of Kuat Drive Yards, and had a dagger-shaped design, of similar character to the Venator class Star Destroyer. It was manned by a crew of 700, could ferry upwards of 16,000 clone troopers, and 48 AT-TEs, 66 LAAT/i gunships, 14 LAAT carriers, 320 speeder bikes, 36 SPHA-Ts, and at least one Nu class shuttle, and had six months worth of consumables. In order to monitor ground movements and coordinate attacks, each clone trooper was equipped with a tracking device in their helmet that allowed controllers on Acclamator class ships to better establish a picture of the combat zone. Their versatility and role as a troop transport proved essential during the Clone Wars. The cost of an Acclamator class assault ship was 110,000,000 credits.

In order to defend itself against space-based attacks, the ship was armed with twelve quad turbolaser turrets, along with twenty-four laser cannons, and four missile launchers. The quad turbolaser turrets were located on the port and starboard sides of the hull, while the four missile launchers were located in the bow of the vessel. It was also equipped with extraordinarily fast twin hyperdrive engines. A notable weakness, as displayed during the Battle of Ryloth, was that Separatist J-1 proton cannons could easily penetrate the shields of an Acclamator class assault ship.

Unlike many craft of its size, the Acclamator class could land on the surface of planets, where it could unload its complement. The command tower was located toward the stern of the vessel, and was 752 meters in length, and could achieve sub-light speeds of 1,200 kilometers per hour. It had a ventral hangar opening as well as one on its port side.
