Violator-Class Battlecruiser

The Violator-Class Battlecruiser, often simply known as Violators, were a class of battlecruisers utilised by the Sith Empire.

After the defeat of the Sith Dynasty and the rise of it's successor state, the original fleet in the Sith's army was destroyed. The Sith Emperor, Anaxun, ordered the creation of a new navy for the Sith to be built. However, Korriban was soon placed under siege by the Republic.

Built in secret in the Unknown Regions for almost a century, the Violator-Class Battlecruiser saw it's first use at the end of the Siege of Korriban, emerging from hyperspace during the middle of a surface bombardment committed by the Republic. After the siege, the battlecruisers were notably used during the Great Annexing, where they blockaded many Republic worlds including Eron, Alamis, Kotafan and Coruscant.

A common sight during the Age of Sith Dominion, Violator-Class Battlecruisers were noted for their relatively low armament in comparison to their Republic counterparts, the Embracer-Class Star Destroyers and the Dauntless-Class Frigates. The Imperial ships made up for this in their numbers, which outnumbered the Republic fleet 2-1, and their speed, which was three times as fast and manoeuvrable as the Republic vessels.
