The Pelta-class Command Cruiser, alternatively referred to as the Pelta-class Command Ship, represented a specialized version of the Pelta-class frigate, functioning as a command ship. During the Galactic Civil War, the Alliance to Restore the Republic deployed altered Pelta-class Command Ships. In one instance, an escort of two MC30C Frigates accompanied a Pelta-class Command Cruiser above a gas giant. Its armament included turbolasers.
The Pelta-class Command Ship initially appeared on a card bearing the same designation within the Phoenix Home Expansion Pack (2016) for the Star Wars: Armada miniatures game, produced by Fantasy Flight Games. Before the expansion's launch, Fantasy Flight Games' official site showcased the ship in a preview, also naming it as the Pelta-class Command Cruiser. Sergey Glushakov was responsible for the vehicle's artwork.
