The Chelandion was a class of 800 meter–long warships developed for the Hutts that were used during the Second Galactic Civil War.
Description
The Chelandion was covered in bright chrome and armed with powerful turbolasers. It also had a large load of missiles.
The design was considered to have lighter shielding than most cruisers, but very strong armor. They were also equipped with a self-destruct mechanism to prevent any from falling into enemy hands.
History
They were used by Hutt forces during the Second Battle of Balmorra and the Battle of Kuat.
