View source for Lucrehulk-class battleship

The '''Lucrehulk-class battleship''' was the primary capital ship of the [[Trade Federation]] before and during the [[Clone Wars]].  It was composed of a outer ring with hyperdrives and large engines and a seperate inner core ship that was capable of landing on planets.

==Specifications==
The Lucrehulk is one of the largest classes of starship seen in Star Wars, measuring 3170 meters in length, enough to dwarf [[Imperial Star Destroyer]]s.  Its armament was evenly distributed around the hull and contained hundreds of [[turbolasers]]. The Lucrehulk was also in possession of a massive pair of tractor beams ideal for loading and unloading parasite craft or grappling any enemy that flew into range of it's front end.  Nonetheless, they were not purpose-designed warships but modified freighters, and they suffered in battle as a result.  Their acceleration was compareatively poor and their weapons set up in a way that ensured that never more than about 25% could bear on any single target.

Although not as effective in combat as dedicated warships, they served admirably as transports.  A single Lucrehulk could carry hundreds of [[droid starfighter]]s and thousands of [[battle droid]]s with their landing craft and support vehicles.  In addition, the core module of the ship could be detached from the outer cargo ring and land on planets as a super-lander similar to the Acclaimator.
