The Strident-class Star Defender functioned as a warship within the New Republic Defense Fleet towards the conclusion of the New Republic era.
The Strident-class, manufactured by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, participated in combat against the Yuuzhan Vong. During the Battle of Fondor, three of these vessels were positioned at Corellia.
During the events of the Second Galactic Civil War, the Corellian Defense Force employed several of these ships in opposition to the Galactic Alliance.
These vessels were classified into a different size category than the Galactic-class battle carriers, exhibiting a greater length but lesser width compared to those opposing ships.
