Homebrew Reference Book: Clone Wars Saga Edition Fan Sourcebook - Vehicles and Vessels
The 250-meter Royal Frigate was the pride of the Alderaan Defense Fleet during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Peaceful Alderaan was always very anti-war, so the ships functioned mostly as defensive deterrents against invasion. Unfortunately, when the Clone Wars erupted and many local defense forces were nationalized, the Alderaan Defense Fleet found itself seeing action against the Separatists.
When the Clone Wars ended, Alderaan disarmed, scuttling all but one of their Royal Frigates, The Another Chance. Its hull was stripped of most of its weaponry, and then filled with the arms, Starfighters, and Vehicles used during the Clone Wars. The ship was then sent on a series of random Hyperspace jumps with an escort of three Thranta-Class Warships, where, theory, it would remain until recalled by the Alderaan High Council. The ships were eventually recovered and turned over to The Rebel Alliance many years after Alderaan's destruction at the hands of the Empire.
Capabilities[]
The Alderaan Royal Frigate is outfitted with powerful weaponry and considered by many to be, meter for meter, the strongest warship in service during the Clone Wars. It has a single sickbay with twenty beds and two Bacta Tanks, as well as a HoloNet Transceiver.
It also is equipped with a sizable hangar, which can hold 75 Huge Starfighters (typically T-19 Starfighters during the Clone Wars) as well as a single Colossal Space Transport and a Gargantuan shuttle which acted as the Captain's gig. The ship is remarkably tough, fast, and heavily armed.

Tactical Fire[]
The mere presence of an Alderaan Royal Frigate will often boost the morale of its allies, since any fight Alderaan would participate in must be a just and righteous one. As a Standard Action, an Alderaan Royal Frigate may forgo all attacks to provide Tactical Fire to all squares in a 3-square radius around itself. All allied ships within this area receive a +1 morale bonus to attack rolls.
