When originally constructed, the [[Lucrehulk 3210 Battleship|Lucrehulk]] was not designed for war but for large scale cargo freighters for the commercial fleets of the Trade Federation. At over three kilometers in diameter, the enormous vessels resemble flattened disks with a central sphere containing the ship's bridge and reactor assemblies.
 
-
The disk is broken at the front of the craft, revealing two mammoth docking bays lined with forward docking claws. When the Neimoidians secrectly began building up their armed forces one of their first things they did was to convert their cargo freighters into battleships. The idea behind the design was that instead of putting turbolasers on the large vessel, it would use a large number of heavy lasers canons for anti-starfighter defense.

Numerious support craft would escort the Lucrehulk and provide it with the anti-capitalship firepower it would need.

Characteristics

At over three kilometers in diameter, the enormous vessel resembled a donut-shape that was missing a section of its circumference and it had a central sphere that contained the ship's bridge and reactor assemblies. The front void of the craft held two mammoth docking bays on either side, which were lined with forward docking claws. These gigantic cargo vessels had been built for many years by the Trade Federation to haul cargo between planets and were an important asset to their enterprise.

Housed in the stern of the main body were the main reactors, each connected to one of the three main engines, as well as to secondary engines and each other. The central sphere housed its own reactor/power generator assemblies.

Lining the equatorial bands in batteries of three, were quad turbolaser cannons capable of rotating inwards when not in use. Their limited coverage of the hull made the early battleship models vulnerable, and made them rely more on the massive number of starfighters carried to defend the ships against enemy starfighters. This was, however, rectified with later ships whose armor and shields proved too strong for starfighter firepower.

Origins

When the Trade Federation began creating its military, the Executive Board realized the need for large cruisers to transport their weapons across the galaxy, battleships to defend against starfighter attacks, and flagships for controlling their vast legions of battle droids. Reluctant to spend the credits necessary to construct and purchase a fleet of military vessels, the Trade Federation began modifying a portion of its many thousands of Lucrehulk-class freighters into warships. Their early navy had about 10 % of all Lucrehulks converted to battleships and by the battle of Naboo, it was estimated that 35% of the class had undergone refitting.

Today

Today the Lucrehulk 3210 Battleship is the driving force of the entire Trade Federation. The massive ship is used by every department and takes part in every day to day task of the government.
