The Star Galleon Frigate is the name the 25th Anniversary Community Patch gives to the Star Galleon, a Empire capital ship in Star Wars: Rebellion. The ship keeps its original game data, so its figures are the same as on the original page.

In the patch

The patch describes it as the Star Galleon Frigate and lists its length as 300 meters. The patch names its builder as Kuat Drive Yards.

History

The Star Galleon is a freighter with heavy armament. The Galactic Empire used it to move valuable cargo securely, including currency, artifacts and further resources vital to Imperial operations. Pairing the strong defenses of a warship with a freighter's hold capacity made it well suited to dangerous transport runs. During the volatile Galactic Civil War, when protecting supply lines mattered greatly to the Rebel Alliance as well as the Empire, its ability to fend off pirates and similar menaces was prized. Its design and purpose mirrored what the Empire needed: adaptable ships handling combat as well as supply duties amid conflict and rebellion.
