Background:
The Persecutor-class Star Destroyer was a model of heavy front-line combat cruiser used by the Galactic Republic in the last few days of the Clone Wars. Developed as a "heavy Venator-class" to combat some of the larger Separatist capital ships, the ship was naturally equipped with strong shields, and thick hull plating, yet the most striking feature was its experimental Octuple heavy turbolaser turrets. These weapon systems were strong enough to overwhelm even the strongest Separatist shielding, though due to their untested nature, their turret rotation speed, as well as their rate of fire were both drastically slower than the main guns of the Venator-class . The ship itself was vastly slower than the Venator-class with the few that were built in time to see combat in the war being heavily escorted, by vessels such as the Liburna-class Assault Frigate , and the Sagittarii-class Escort Carrier , to protect these vessels from Separatist flanking maneuvers.

After the Clone Wars, the Persecutor-class saw no further development, or production, though the Galactic Empire did take interest in its octuple heavy turbolaser turrets, and continued refining them until mounting their final product on the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer. At least one Persecutor-class star destroyer, The Defiant was used by the Rebel Alliance to Restore the Republic, though it was plagued with mechanical failures that rendered it mostly as a command vessel and saw little combat. It was finally decommissioned some time after the New Republic came to power.
