The Recusant-class Support Destroyer represents a specific variant of the Recusant-class light destroyer. It saw action with the Confederacy of Independent Systems's navy in their conflict with the Galactic Republic during the era of the Clone Wars. This type of starship, classified as a destroyer, featured multiple powerful thrusters, electromagnetic sensor antennas, a neutrino radiator grille, and numerous heavy turbolaser cannons. The symbol associated with the Separatist Alliance was prominently displayed on the right side hull. In one instance during the Clone Wars, a Recusant-class Support Destroyer was seen in orbit around a sickly green planet, accompanied by a pair of Separatist automated vulture droid deployment stations.
The Recusant-class Support Destroyer made its initial appearance in the Recusant-class Expansion Pack. This expansion was released in 2021 by Fantasy Flight Games for the tabletop miniatures game, Star Wars: Armada.
