Relatively inexpensive to construct, the support destroyers were often unleashed in groups, harrowing individual Republic Star Destroyers in teams of four to six. The Recusant-class Destroyer was typical of the Separatist starship development program. Though the ship would bear the name of a Commerce Guild support ship, it was more aptly called a Confederacy vessel. Using the material resources of the Commerce Guild, the Techno Union began mass-producing capital ships for use on the frontlines. The treaty that created the Confederacy of Independent Systems (CIS) strengthened the working relationships of the main industrial titans in the Separatist movement. 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 Light Destroyer, also known as the Recusant-class Support Destroyer and commonly referred to as the Commerce Guild Destroyer, is a starship that was used primarily by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. A 2,544 meter-long variant model was shown to have both a built-in hangar on the side of each vessel, as well as a docking clamp to carry one C-9979 landing craft. The Recusant-class could also carry droid starfighters for fleet engagements in hollow spaces inside the ship. The stock Recusant was not equipped with hangars for ground based forces, but carried about 40,000 battle droids for boarding actions. 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.
Should the main shields be destroyed during battle, the interior hull can be vulnerable to severe damage. 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.Īdditional 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. This gave the Commerce Guilddestroyer a sinister, skeletal appearance. This proved to be a flaw, however, for the droid brain had a lower reaction time, which caused it to run into other ships often.
The Recusant-class, like the vast majority of the Confederacy's warships, was largely controlled by automated droid brain technology. 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, were a class of starship used by the CIS Navy during the Clone Wars.
