The Venator-class Star Destroyer, quickly nicknamed Jedi Cruiser for their tendency to be highjacked by Jedi commanders, was one of the most widespread and successful Republic capital ships designs of the clone wars. While designed primarily for ship-to-ship combat, the Venator had secondary roles ranging from starfighter carrier to military transport and battleship escort. As the central multi-role warship of the Republic Navy, the Venator was considered heavily armed and armored enough to lead assaults on Rim worlds like Utapau as well as fast enough to chase down blockade runners. However, due to being relatively less self-sufficient than other ships in the fleet, the Venator-class often relied upon supply lines to aid long-range campaigns. These vessels also sported the red color of diplomatic immunity all Republic ships sported.

Jedi Cruiser Ascendancy

The Ascendancy during the Clone Wars

The central command ship of the 13th Army is the Jedi Cruiser Ascendancy. one of now-ubiquitous Venator Cruisers that are crossing back and forth across the war-torn galaxy. After the nearly devastating battle of Ryloth Master Haneul has taken to using the Ascendancy more as a mobile command station than a true war vessel. The ship has since undergone a series of small internal retrofits to better support that roll. For one, the hanger bays are maintained at 2/3 capacity to allow for the housing of the numerous couriers and shuttles that come and go as part of the operations.

Notable Locations

Master Haneul was a Jedi Sentinal long before the Clone Wars and still retains the meditative and analytical mind that she developed during that period. As the Senior General of the 13th Army, she has spent a lot of time and energy in creating and ensuring she had the most complete and up to date intelligence available. To that end, she and the technicians of the 13th army have built a large intelligence suite, The Jedi party has been to many briefings here.

Clone Troopers

The Jedi often hit up the barracks for specialist squads of Clone Troopers to bring with them on missions. Typically requesting one or two teams of five, the Jedi have started forming relationships with teams selected for that specific duty.

Civilian Ops. Team

The 13th army has a small contingent of recruits taken from worlds supporting the war effort for the republic. While they don't have nearly the conditioning or training the clones have been given, they do have the advantage of not all looking the same. The Jedi worked with one such team during the Kypperon operation.
