The stock Recusant was not equipped with hangars for ground based forces, but carried about 40,000 battle droids for boarding actions.

While this provided substantial thrust and speed for the ship, the engine segments were susceptible to being severed from sustained fire due to the somewhat thin structure of that area of the ship. The vessel had three isolated thrusters positioned at the stern, remotely connected to the ship's main reactor, which was located inside the main superstructure. Should the main shields be destroyed during battle, the interior hull can be vulnerable to severe damage. The Recusant-class destroyer was a light CIS warship armed with oversized guns, similar to the Munificent-class star frigate, and carried a heavy turbolaser cannon on its prow.Īdditional weapons consisted of four heavy turbolasers, six heavy turbolaser turrets, five turbolaser cannons, thirty dual laser cannons, twelve dual light laser cannons, and sixty point-defense cannons.

This gave the Commerce Guild destroyer a sinister, skeletal appearance. This proved to be a flaw, however, for the droid brain had a lower reaction time, which caused it to run into other ships often. The Recusant-class, like the vast majority of the Confederacy's warships, was largely controlled by automated droid brain technology.
