Description: The Malleus-class Light Star Destroyer is one of the longest serving designs in the Protectorate Navy. While it has served faithfully, its armament and performance have not been up to par with the latest Protectorate ships. As the economic situation stabilized, starship designs drafted, and shipyards gained experience, more and more powerful ships came off the assembly line. Eventually, the Malleus began to fall behind.
However, rather that put the ships to mothballs, a bold project was undertaken. Encouraged by the success of the Telum Mk II and Incus projects, retrofit planning was done to fully modernize the Malleus and take advantage of the experience and material wealth of the Protectorate. Super-structure was added to the forward half of the ship, adding some overall length to the ship. The bridge was actually moved towards the front of the ship as well, an unconventional design, but one that reflected the ship's new namesake.
In honor of her service to the Protectorate in a chaotic time and as a testament to her unflinching resolve, the Malleus-class Star Destroyer line was rechristened the Alcori-class Light Star Defender, in honor of former Protector @[member="Tegaea Alcori"]. The new design incorporates the same dangerous long-range turbolaser cannons that the new Warden-class does, but does so without sacrificing the ship's ability to handle diverse combat situations, both large and small. Two mini-hangers were attached in pods on either side of the forward section of the ship, giving it its own fighter escorts for the first time.
The Alcori-class is designed to be a long-serving and stalwart defender of the Protectorate for years to come.
