B-wing starfighter
Use:
Perhaps the oddest-looking starfighter in the Republic A fleet, the B-wing fighter is as powerful as it is ungainly. The ship's structure is almost entirely taken up by its primary airfoil, which houses a cylindrical cockpit on one end, an engine cluster in the center, and a heavy weapons pod at its base. Located just below the engine cluster are a pair of S-foils which can deploy to extend the firing arc of twin laser cannons.
The B-wing's command pod has a unique gyroscopic control system. The pilot can orient it so that it always stays level with a pre-designated horizon line. No matter which way the B-wing may maneuver laterally, its pilot remains upright.
Height:
16.9 meters long
Type:
Heavy assault starfighter
Weapons:
laser cannon, proton torpedoes, ion cannon

V-19 Torrent starfighter
Use:
Prototypes of the Slayn and Korpil V-19 Torrent starfighter were first introduced at the Battle of Geonosis. Having proven their worth as an assault fighter with exceptional speed and maneuverability, the Republic quickly produced V-19s to add to the arsenal of the growing Republic army. Because of the months of training it took for the Republic's shadow force trooper pilots to become proficient with the vessel, the fighter was not available in large numbers for some of the early engagements of the war, but they made a prominent showing during the Battle of Mon Calamari.
Initially designed as a short-range fighter, Republic technicians later added a Class-1 hyperdrive to equip the vessel for escort missions. The ship is unique in that it has two pairs of folding airfoils that give the ship added maneuverability and provides pilots with easy access to the ship's sliding canopy. The lower split airfoils coupled with enhanced repulsorlift engines make the ship an exceptional vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) fighter.
Height:
26 meter wide, 6 meters long, 9 meters tall (in flight)
Type:
Republic starfighter
Weapons:
Blaster cannons, concussion missiles

Republic carrier
Use:
When specific campaigns required small infantry units, but it was impractical to send an Acclamator-class transport ship to a world, the Republic use CR20 troop carriers to send small groups of shadow troopers across space.
Corellian Engineering Corporation originally designed the CR20 for its local sector security forces. The Republic purchased surplus craft found outside Corellian space about a month after the outbreak of the Jedi-Sith war, and quickly relocated them to strategic launch points. To cover insertion and extraction, the CR20 has twin double turbolaser cannons.
At 60 meters in length, the CR20 is smaller than a Republic Cruiser, but its internal volume is designed to carry more passengers. Two pilots, a communications officer, and three engineers make up the ship's required crew. When fully loaded, the CR20 can carry up to 40 shadow troopers, 12 speeder bikes, and corresponding supplies.
Height:
60 meters long
Type:
Troop carrier
Weapon:
Two double turbolaser cannons

X-wing starfighter
Use:
The Incom T-65 X-wing starfighter has become a symbol of the Republic's starfighter corps. Pressed into service time and again, the typical Republic X-wing shows the scars from previous engagements, though the fact that it still performs as an advanced vessel of space superiority is indication of the ruggedness of the craft.
The sleek fuselage of the X-wing starfighter is 12.5 meters long. The long, narrow spaceframe is flanked in the aft quarter by four massive realspace engines. Each engine has an aerodynamic S-foil mounted on it. The wings not only serve as stabilizer surfaces in air travel, but also distribute deflector shield energy and serve as weapons mounts. The surface of each S-foil bears squadron and fighter markings.
Located midway through the ship is the X-wing's cockpit module. Behind the X-wing's cockpit is an astromech socket. The astromech droid provides astrogation data for the fighter's hyperdrives, and serves as a co-pilot and technician during flight. Three landing gears extend when the fighter is docked.
Height:
12.5 meters long
Type:
starfighter
Weapons:
Laser cannons, proton torpedoes

SunCrusher Use: Power to destroy entire Systems Picture: Bio: The SunCrusher was a small six-man ship capable of destroying stars. It was developed by Qwi Xux, a member of Admiral Daala's scientific research team at the Maw Research Facility. It was a remarkable piece of technology; the Sun Crusher was a cone-shaped vessel which flew with its "point" downwards (as perceived by the pilot). A dish-shaped resonance projector was attached to its point, and at its very top was a 360-degree rotating laser cannon. A number of other laser cannons were arrayed slightly lower on the vessel, and the pilot's cockpit windows were just below the top cannon. The ship incorporated two important technical innovations: quantum crystalline armour, and the resonance torpedo (ref. SWEGVV). The quantum crystalline armour allowed the Sun Crusher to shrug off turbolaser blasts from Star Destroyers and it even allowed it to survive the blast wave of a supernova. Its resonance torpedoes travelled at near-lightspeed and were capable of triggering a chain reaction that would detonate a star (even a low-mass star which would not normally go nova). Although it normally carried up to 6 crewers, it could be effectively controlled by as little as one man (ref. SWEGWT).

Galaxy Gun Use: long range weapon that fires missles over the galaxy in hours. Pic: Bio: The Galaxy Gun is perhaps the ultimate expression of long-distance lethality. It fires unique intelligent projectiles which navigate through hyperspace at incredible speeds (a Galaxy Gun missile can travel through hyperspace from the Deep Core to anywhere in the Outer Rim within a few hours). These projectiles are more than mere missiles; they boast energy shielding, heavy armour, and defensive laser cannons. Upon their re-emergence in realspace they can penetrate planetary shields and strike any target (ref. SWEGWT). When a Galaxy Gun missile strikes, its particle disintegrator warhead triggers massive nucleonic chain reactions (similar to the NDF chain reactions caused by Federation phasers but on a far more massive scale). At the missile's full power setting, the nucleonic chain reaction can destroy an entire planet in a few seconds (ref. Dark Empire 2). At lower settings, the missiles can destroy precisely metered regions of a planet, space station, or even a vessel. The Galaxy Gun is a planet-destroying superweapon like the Death Star, but it does not need to travel to the target system to inflict its damage; it can be stationed in a heavily defended location and destroy its targets with impunity from long range.

K-Wing Heavy Assault Bomber
Bio: The K-Wing is a bomber that was developed by the New Republic about twelve years after the Battle of Endor. From the front, the K-Wing resembles the letter K, lying on its long side. The central fuselage is studded with four wings: two larger wings extend upward, while the shorter wings at the bottom act as landing skids. The four wings have eighteern unique positions, which can be adjusted depending on weaponry and payload. It has three primary thrust engines, two on the lower wings and one at the rear of the fuselage. The two-seated fighter was flown by a pilot and a gunner and a bomber, and was designed to fly in gravity-dense arenas. The K-Wing has no hyperdrive, being an atmospheric bomber. It primary mission is as a bomber, and it is the equal of the TIE Bomber in armament. It can also be armed to the teeth as a starfighter, but the ship suffers in maneuverability when more weapons are added. Thus, it is not a ship for dogfighting. It was first tested by the crew of the Monitor, and was first assigned to active duty with Task Force Quickfire. It first saw combat with the Fifth Battle Group near Bessimir.
Length: 19.6
Role: Heavy Assault Bomber
Weapons: 2 Heavy Laser Cannons, 2 Improved Proton Torpedo Launchers, 1 Medium Ion Cannon, 1 Rotating TurboLaser

Imperial Mark-II Star Destroyer:
Use:
As a result of the Rebellion getting their hands onto the powerful Mon Cal cruisers, which now allowed them to hold their own in ship to ship battles, the Empire's scientists felt it was time to create a ship that would once again prove their combat superiority. The result was the Mark-II Star Destroyer. This ship was a far more powerful vessel then previous Star Destroyers. Just one of these could easily decimate any MC80 cruiser. Fortunately due to the Empire's joining into the Republic infrastructure the majority of these are now in Republic hands. They are a common sight throughout the Republic.
Height:
1600 meters long
Type:
Heavy Battlecruiser
Weapons:
100 turbolaser batteries, 20 ion cannons batteries, 10 tractor beam projectors

Mon Calamari MC80 Star Cruiser:
Use:
When the Mon Calamari defected to the Rebellion they also brought a new weapon with them the MC80 Star cruiser. These ships were the Rebellion's answer to the Mark-I Star Destroyers. Originally they were designed as luxury liners but when the Mon Calamari joined the Rebellion they soon converted these ships for combat use. A unique thing about the MC80 series is that no 2 ships are alike. So weaponry ranges from ship to ship. While Mark-1 Star Destroyers have far more weaponary, the MC-80 Crusiers are designed with many redundant systems allowing them to take much more damage and still continue fighting.
Height:
1200 meters long
Type:
Battlecruiser
Weapons:
Approx: 50 turbolaser batteries, 30 ion cannons batteries, 10 tractor beam projectors

Mon Calamari MC90 Star Cruiser:
Use:
After the creation of the Mark-II Star Destroyer, the Rebellion soon realized that their previous cruisers could not stand up to the New more powerful Star Destroyers, so in response they created the MC90. While being far more powerful then the MC80 the MC90 was the first Mon Cal cruiser to be designed from the ground up instead of being converted from a luxury liner. As a result the MC90 shielding and weaponry as well as it's design is far superior to its predecessor
Height:
1200 meters long
Type:
Heavy Battlecruiser
Weapons:
Approx: 90 turbolaser batteries, 50 ion cannons batteries, 10 tractor beam projectors

Corellian Corvette:
Use:
Built by the Corellian Engineering Corporation, the Corellian corvette CR90 is a mid-sized vessel which can function as a troop carrier, light escort vessel, cargo transport, or passenger liner. The interior of the ship is modularly designed, so it is easy to reconfigure a corvette from one of these duties to another, these corvettes have fast sublight and hyperdrive engines. Their passenger compartments are large, and their standard armament is more than enough to deter most pirates.
Height:
150 Meters long
Type:
Multipurpose Corvette
Weapon:
2 Double turbolaser cannons

It came as response to repeated Alliance raids on Imperial convoys. The escort frigate's launch bays can hold two squadrons of starfighters and the ship carries specialized weaponry designed to hit small targets.
Height:
300 Meters long
Type:
Escort Frigate
Weapon:
4 turbolaser batteries, 10 Quad Laser cannons, 2 tractor beams.

Venator-class Star Destroyer
Use:
The original Star Destroyer, the wedge-shaped warship was not primarily a cargo transport, troop carrier or other replenishment or supply vessel; it was developed and honed for ship-to-ship combat. Its huge armored shape had an aggressive, dagger-like profile, studded with heavy weapons emplacements capable of punching through powerful shields and sturdy armor. The front half of the ship's dorsal surface contained a massive flight deck capable of scrambling the latest in Republic starfighters. The huge hangar doors opened to allow ships to land or takeoff from the deck; the vessel also had a smaller docking bay entrance on its ventral surface, its hangars were stocked with starfighters. Its standard complement included 192 V-19 Torrent or V-wing fighters, 192 Jedi starfighters, 36 ARC-170 fighters, and 20 LAAT/I gunships.
Height:
1,137 meters
Type:
Cruiser
Weapons:
8 heavy turbolasers; 2 medium dual turbolasers; 52 laser cannons; 4 proton torpedo launchers; 6 tractor beam projectors

Super-class Star Destroyer:
Use:
The Executor was the first of a new generation of immense warships, a Super-class Star Destroyer. Constructed in secret at the starship yards of Fondor, the Executor was a crowning achievement for both the Imperial Navy and Kuat Drive Yards. This new weapon, of which there would be many, would be unstoppable. Only 6 were ever built. 4 have been destroyed, 1 remains in Republic hands and all traces of the other have disappeared.
Height:
19,000 Meters long
Type:
N/A
Weapons:
375 heavy and light turbolaser batteries, 125 concussion missile launchers, 200 ion cannons, and 30 tractor beam projectors.

A note: There are actually several classes of "super" star destroyers.
The Executor was the first of them, and is actually an Executor-class vessel. There were several of them, though I can't remember any of their names.
During the events of Dark Empire I, Palpatine commanded an Eclipse-class super Star Destroyer, which was even larger than the Executor.
There are a few other classes too... I forget many of their names.

OOC: I was refering to the Super-class in of itself. There are many starships deemed "Super". When I was speaking of the Super-class I was only talking about Executer-class SSDs. The ones I included were: Executer, Lusankya, Iron Fist, Rasor's Kiss, Knight Hammer, Guardian and Fallen's SSD Terrorizer which is the one that has disappeared. Guardian is the only one left in Republic hands with the rest having been destroyed.

((Heres a bit more info on the Eclipse-class Star Destroyer))
Eclipse-Class Star Destroyer
Uses:
Emperor Palpatine's plan for Galactic Domination revolved around inspiring terror in all of his would-be subjects. When the Emperor was reborn as a clone body six years after the Battle of Endor, he continued to sow fear through the Eclipse, a starship more than 17 kilometers long. The jet-black leviathan was a powerful weapon of psychological warfare. It terrified enemy forces and scattered fleets before a single shot was fired. It quickly became the Emperor's flagship, only increasing its terrible reputation.
Length:
17.5 km
Type:
n/a
Weapons:
500 heavy laser cannons, 550 turbolaser batteries, 600 TIE fighters, 96 TIE Bombers, 100 AT-AT, 150,000 Stormtroopers, Superlaser
Superlaser:
The Eclipse's superlaser was designed to penetrate the planet's crust, making the starship nearly as powerful as the original Death Star. The laser itself was not nearly poweful enough to destroy the planet outright.
