Critically it lacks ion cannons and tractor beams. This armament is impressive, but it lacks a few key weapons needed in naval combat. Weapons: Venators were equipped with eight DBY-827 heavy dual turbolaser turrets, two medium dual turbolaser cannons, fifty-two point-defense dual laser cannons or turbolasers, and four heavy proton torpedo tubes.

This allows them to launch surprise attacks from within star systems and more importantly, keep up with their fighters. In open space, Venators have 3000G of acceleration, making them insanely fast in a straight line. It seems that most capital ships have similar atmospheric speeds. In atmosphere, the Venator flies at 975km/h, which is quite fast, but not unusual. This speed allowed the Republic to deal a crushing blow to the CIS navy. This is best exemplified by the battle of Coruscant, where Venators from across the galaxy reinforced the planet within hours. It has a class 1 hyperdrive, allowing it to cross the galaxy at a break-neck pace, thus allowing it to respond to immediate threats virtually instantly. There's not really much to say here, since it's a fairly normal size for a capital ship.Д®ngines: This is something that most people never mention about the Venator, despite the fact that it's ludicrously fast. Size: The Venator is a fairly typical-sized capital ship sitting comfortably at 1137m in length, 548m wide, and 268m tall. I'll be going through some of the specifications of the Venator, drawing primarily from Legends, since it's the most comprehensive data set. This by no means makes it a bad ship, but it is somewhat overrated. It was a great ship when used correctly, but it seems that many people seem to overstate its effectiveness. The Venator class star destroyer was the main capital ship used by the Republic during the clone wars.
