Bulk Cruiser is an Alliance capital ship in Star Wars: Rebellion. According to the in-game encyclopedia, this class of capital ship is old, dating back to the Old Republic. It is rugged and dependable, and has become one of the Alliance's mainstay warships. With moderate firepower and shielding, it suits almost any kind of operation.[1]

In the game

The Bulk Cruiser costs 30 refined materials to build and 30 to maintain. It carries no fighters or troops. Its shields have a strength of 200.[1] The infobox values come from the game data.[2] The 25th Anniversary Community Patch does not change them.[3]

The manual lists the bulk cruiser as a mainstay ship of Alliance fleets.[4]

The manual's ship table gives the same capacity: 0 fighters and 0 troops. It also describes it as a mainstay of Alliance fleets.[4]
