Lucrehulk 3210 Battleship
The Lucrehulk 3210 Battleship has for a long time been the backbone of the Trade Federation. Originally designed as a huge cargo ship, when the leaders of the Federation realized they would need a ship capable of taking part in warfare, they decided the best option would be to convert an existing ship rather than undergo the extremely expensive process of designing a warship from scratch.

The Lucrehulk was the obvious choice for this. With its excess of space and intimidating size it was quickly converted, with a wealth of new weapons on the hull, while still keeping the majority of the cargo space. This allows the Lucrehulk to not only hold its own in a battle, but also to bring in its own support. A single Lucrehulk can hold a fleet within itself, as well as an invasion force, making it a very efficient tool.

Imperial Star Destroyer I
The Imperial Star Destroyer follows the standard design of the series with its iconic dagger shape, but built on a larger scale than had before been seen. This is the second largest of the Star Destroyers after the Super Star Destroyer. Though it lacks the firepower of its smaller relative, the Victory class, the fear and intimidation that the Imperial brings to a battle is worth just as much as all the lost firepower. Additionally, the Imperial class has more space for fighters and other smaller ships and vehicles to be stored within, making it less vulnerable than the smaller ship to fighters. The Imperial Star Destroyer, along with the Victory Star Destroyer, is being brought in for the purpose of heading task forces, replacing the Dreadnaught Heavy Cruiser.

Victory Star Destroyer I
The Victory Star Destroyer is primarily a capital ship attacker, and has very little ability when it comes to fighting smaller ships. This however, does not mean that this ship should be taken lightly. The Victory has significantly more firepower than its bigger cousin the Imperial, despite the fact that it is little more than half the size. It has significant hull and shield strength and is a very effective warship. However, its lack of any significant storage space inside means that this ship is not as effective outside a battle group as other ships. The Victory Star Destroyer, along with the Imperial Star Destroyer, is being brought in for the purpose of heading task forces, replacing the Dreadnaught Heavy Cruiser.

Nebulon-B Frigate
The Nebulon-B Frigate was designed as an effective yet relatively inexpensive escort for unarmed convoys. It is armed with a variety of weapons that allow it to fight all ships from capital to fighter. However, this ship can also hold squadrons of fighters, for a more competent fight against smaller ships, which is an ability many large escort ships lack. For the Trade Federation, these ships continue in this role, being used for support, and carrying fighters.
