Credit to 50Stone over at the Wolf's Shipyard forums for making the Recusant Class Light Destroyer to scale with my other CIS ships. All I did was change the colors and such to make it match what I have made. You can see his version in the chart in his chart in the following link.

Hoersch-Kessel Drive, Inc - Recusant Class Light Destroyer

Class: Light Destroyer

Cost: Not available for sale

Crew: 300 / 40,000 deactivated battle droids

Length: 1.187 meters
Width : 157 meters
Height: 163 meters

Armament: 1x Prow heavy turbolaser cannon
4x Heavy turbolaser cannon
6x Heavy turbolaser turret
5x Turbolaser cannon
30x Dual laser cannon
12x Dual light laser cannon
60x Point-defense laser cannon

The Recusant class light destroyer, also known as the Recusant class support destroyer, commonly referred to as the Commerce Guild destroyer, and additionally known as the Separatist destroyer, was a starship used by the CIS Navy during the Clone Wars. The Recusant class, like the vast majority of the Confederacy's warships, was largely controlled by automated droid brain technology. This proved to be a flaw, for the droid brain had a lower reaction time, which caused it to run into other ships often. However, little crew space was required. This gave the Commerce Guild light destroyer a sinister, skeletal appearance.

The Recusant class destroyer was a light CIS warship armed with oversized guns, similar to the Munificent class star frigate, and carried a heavy turbolaser cannon on its prow. Additional weapons consisted of four heavy turbolasers, six heavy turbolaser turrets, five turbolaser cannons, thirty dual laser cannons, twelve dual light laser cannons, and sixty point-defense cannons. Should the main shields be destroyed during battle, the interior hull can be vulnerable to severe damage. The vessel had three isolated thrusters positioned at the stern, remotely connected to the ship's main reactor, which was located inside the main superstructure.

The stock Recusant was not equipped with hangars for ground based forces, but carried about 40,000 Battle Droids for boarding actions. The Recusant class could also carry droid starfighters for fleet engagements in hollow spaces inside the ship.

The Recusant class's forward command center protruded from the forward part of the superstructure, in a manner similar to the Providence class carrier/destroyer. The Recusant class itself was based on technical schematics stolen from the Mon Calamari by Quarren Separatists. It was mass-produced by zealous workers led by Techno Union Foremen, using materials from many Commerce Guild worlds. The Commerce Guild destroyer was manufactured by Hoersch-Kessel Drive, Inc. and Free Dac Volunteers Engineering Corps. This class was fielded from early on in the Clone Wars. They were donated to the Separatist cause by hundreds of star sectors eager to defend their independence. During the war, large numbers of this vessel were built, destroyed in battle, and replaced. Recusants were often used to carry out raids on Republic commercial shipping, though prey in large number sometimes proved deadly.

Commerce Guild destroyers were most effective when deployed in large numbers, like most Confederate military units. Four to six Commerce Guild destroyers could easily defeat a Republic Venator class or Victory class Star Destroyer. However, a thousand regular Recusants were needed to successfully engage a Kuat Drive Yards Mandator II class Star Dreadnaught. During the height of the Clone Wars, it was unusual to see the class deployed in groups of less than four ships. A major flaw of the class was its stubbornness in battle. A Recusant would continue to attack a chosen target until it was destroyed or disabled, and ignore other enemy units during this process. The Recusant class destroyers were employed by General Grievous in battles near the Arda system, at Saleucami and at Kamino. Recusants were used extensively in the Battle of Coruscant, where they engaged similarly large numbers of Venators. One Recusant was seen colliding with a friendly Munificent. They also formed the defense line that protected the CIS flagship Invisible Hand.
