An out-moded pocket cruiser designed by Republic Sienar Systems, the Marauder-class measured 195 meters in length. They are sleek, aerodynamic craft designed for system patrol and smuggling interdiction missions. They are armed with eight double turbolasers, with an option to add four more turbolasers with a larger power generator. Three tractor beam projectors allow the Marauder-class to capture smaller ships. A wing of IRD starfighters can also be housed in its fighter bay. The Marauder was manned by a crew of 129, with 48 gunners and room to transport up to 40 troops. The Old Republic opted not to purchase the ship for government use, and the fledgling Corporate Sector stepped in to buy them. Once the ships showed up in Corporate Sector space, other planetary governments began to submit orders to the RSS plant on Lianna. The Marauder-class quickly became one of RSS most recent successes, although the ship eventually found its way into the hands of smuggler and pirates. Corporate Sector Marauders were deployed in pairs, along with a Victory-class Star Destroyer and Invincible-class cruisers for system control. -Source: Unofficial Star Wars Encyclopedia
