Comments: The Shugek class battle carrier has
recently been placed on the active list, following the classes final testing and
acceptance by the Admiralty. Carring six Kakalikhu class battle riders and two
hundred heavy fighters, this battle squadron presents a significant threat to any enemy
battle squadron. Most significant is this classes ability to move with all but the longest
jumping Imperial fleets; it's jump-4 makes the Shugek class a very responsive and
potent threat.
With tensions increasing in the Spinward Marches region, it is possible
that this class will see combat sooner than would otherwise be expected.
