CC-7700 Frigate
CC-7700 Frigate is an Alliance capital ship in Star Wars: Rebellion. The in-game encyclopedia describes the CC-7700 as an older sibling of the Corellian Gunship. It is lightly armed. Its main purpose is to serve as a platform for a gravity well projector, which stops enemy vessels from leaving a battle zone.
In the game
The CC-7700 Frigate costs 42 refined material to build and 37 to maintain. It carries no fighters or troops. Its shield strength is 300.
The infobox values come from the game's data file. Ratings such as hyperdrive and maneuverability are internal numbers that the manual does not explain, so they are best used to compare ships.
The manual's ship table gives the same capacity: 0 fighters and 0 troops. It also describes it as a ship that carries gravity well generators, which stop opposing ships from withdrawing from a battle.
25th Anniversary patch
The CC-7700 Frigate is an experimental frigate built by Rendili StarDrive, notable for its gravity well projectors, which hinder enemy ships trying to escape into hyperspace.
Chiefly remembered as an experimental design, the CC-7700 belonged to a series of frigates built around advanced technology. Its signature feature was a set of gravity well projectors meant to stop hostile ships from jumping to hyperspace, which gave it strategic value in controlling where the enemy could go during a battle. Its weapons were lighter than those of some other warships, but the tactical edge its unusual equipment gave it earned it a place in the Galactic Empire's fleet, especially after the Death Star was destroyed and restraining Rebel movement became a growing priority.
