The Neutron Star-class bulk cruiser represents a class of bulk cruiser. These vessels saw service with various groups, notably the Galactic Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic, throughout the Imperial Era.
This bulk cruiser of the Neutron Star-class was a highly adaptable type of bulk cruiser. It was produced by Rendili StarDrive with a manufacturing cost of 2,800,000 credits. Initially, the Galactic Empire employed these cruisers, but they were eventually superseded by newer and more capable capital ships, leading to their gradual retirement. However, the Rebel Alliance repurposed these vessels into carriers, at a cost of 2,871,000 credits each, providing them with the capacity to carry thirty-six starfighters apiece.
The Neutron Star-class once functioned as a planetary defense force ship. Within the Alliance to Restore the Republic, these cruisers were frequently modified into carriers and deployed in situations where Mon Calamari Star Cruisers were unavailable.
In the past, the Neutron Star-class enjoyed widespread use among numerous planetary defense forces. Subsequently, they found primary employment with mercenaries. During the Imperial Era, the Alliance to Restore the Republic incorporated these bulk cruisers into their fleet, converting them into carriers and assigning them to the Rebel Alliance Starfighter Corps.
