The Devotion-class cruiser is the Republic's main-line all-purpose cruiser, designed both for patrolling and anti-starship capability. Similar to the ancient designs of Republic vessels, most notably the Hammerhead and Scythe-class vessels, the Devotion-class features a spire in which most of its primary weapons are located. Unlike the Scythe-class, these guns are not fixed forward and are able to attack at all angles on its half of the ship, increasing the broadside capability of the Devotion over the Scythe considerably.
It is a very limited transport, purely geared to be a ship of war. However, it comes with its own on-board starfighter squadrons for system patrol (as many cruisers do) and serves as an excellent addition as a mid-range vessel for the Republic's military forces.
