Imperial Kavaak Class Escort Destroyer
"Far too many starshipwrights in 900 ABY focus on adding more firepower and exotic weaponry across a ship's hull. However, they often overlook the fact that each new weapon necessitates a firing system, integration into the ship's targeting computers, and a significant amount of coolant to prevent overheating. By reducing the emphasis on weaponry and minimizing redundant systems, we have the opportunity to save a substantial amount"

The Imperial Kavaak Class Escort Destroyer was designed and constructed by both Republic Fleet Systems and Byblos Drive Yards as their first collaboration project since Republic Fleet System's refounding in 900 ABY by then Commanding Viceroy Rulonom Laborr
The main purpose of this particular class of star destroyer was to design a scale down warship that could be pushed into mass-production for the galactic ship markets, while still keeping the overall aesthetic and visage of the larger and more formidable Imperial Star Destroyer, the mainstream of the New Imperial Order's and the Dark Empire's naval might.
The Kavaak Class, with a length of approximately 1,001 meters, was specifically crafted to provide protection and support to larger warships during combat scenarios. It possesses a sufficient arsenal and defensive capabilities to effectively counter and overcome enemy corvettes and frigates.
However, due to its specialized nature, it is unable to engage in direct confrontations with larger star destroyers and battlecruisers on an individual basis. This limitation arises from its lack of substantial firepower and advanced weaponry, which are commonly found on star destroyers during the Galactic Chaos Era.
