Pelta-class Command Cruiser
The Pelta-class Command Cruiser, which can also be called the Pelta-class Command Ship, represented a specialized version of the Pelta-class frigate, functioning as a command ship. The Alliance to Restore the Republic made use of altered Pelta-class Command Ships throughout the duration of the Galactic Civil War. In one instance, a Pelta-class Command Cruiser received an escort of two MC30C Frigates while positioned above a gas giant. It possessed turbolasers as part of its armaments.
Behind the scenes
The Pelta-class Command Ship initially appeared on a card bearing the same designation within the Phoenix Home Expansion Pack of 2016, produced by Fantasy Flight Games for the Star Wars: Armada miniatures game. Before the expansion's release, Fantasy Flight Games' official website showcased the ship in a preview, also referring to it as the Pelta-class Command Cruiser. Sergey Glushakov was responsible for the vehicle's artwork.
