The //Republic//-class was half the cost and one-fifth the crew of the //Imperial I// Star Destroyer, though it carried 20 percent more firepower. The //Republic// class preceeded the New Republic's New Class program, and production of this particular class of Star Destroyer was probably reduced significantly around 10 ABY. It is possible, however, that the //Republic// class still outnumbered the newer //Nebula//-class Star Destroyer as of the outbreak of the Yuuzhan Vong war.
