Usage[]
The Star Galleon is a light frigate with lower hull armor strength and shield strength than a Carrack Cruiser, and is slower than an Imperial-I Star Destroyer, so it is best position amidst a fleet but behind the front lines, so that it can use its fleet tender abilities without coming under direct fire itself. The Star Galleon carries two half-squadrons of TIE Fighters in its small hangar, and it is armed with two Single Light Turbolasers, which fire two shots every 2.0 seconds with an effective range of 5.1km, and one Assault Concussion Missile Launcher, which fires one missile every 18.75 seconds with an effective range of 7.1km.
The Star Galleon has the passive "Fleet Tender" ability which allows to repair ships within a field around, healing one ship at a time with its healing ability, as well as the active "Repair Fighters" ability, which allow it to instantly heal all starfighters and bombers within its healing range.
