EF76 Nebulon-B escort

The EF76 combines a heavily protected forward command section with an armored engineering hull and enclosed internal flight facilities. Its balanced turbolaser, ion-cannon, and point-defense batteries protect convoys and enforce navigation orders without sacrificing endurance or embarked support craft. The internal hangar normally carries a squadron of TIE-series fighters together with inspection shuttles, customs cutters, or boarding craft. Naval formations employ the class as a fleet escort and patrol ship, while Customs commands assign it to important systems and major trade corridors where ordinary patrol craft lack sufficient authority or firepower.
