With each month that goes by during the Clone Wars the Republic rapidly finds itself confronted with the problem of developing ever more powerful weapons in order to counter the apparently inexhaustible resources of the Separatists. Hopes rest on the powerful Republic Star Destroyers of the Venator-Class. They are derived from the ships of the Acclamator-Class that were used at the beginning of the Clone Wars. In particular, they have an absolutely devastating arsenal of weapons and an improved take-off system for the Starfighters that are released from the nose of the Star Destroyer.
