Vulkoras-class Desolator

Few ships in the galaxy can match the destructive potential of the Vulkoras. Both enemy forces and planets alike quickly fall before its banks of heavy phase missile launchers and pulse beam projectors. Such offensive power comes at a price, however—the Vulkoras relies on supporting ships to deal with specific threats like fighters more so than most any other Republic capital ship.

Tactics
The Vulkoras is a heavily armored siege engine, capable of clearing planets and heavy defenses with shocking speed. It is arguably the most specialized capital ship in the Republic's Navy, and is nothing short of a giant wrecking ball for planets. The most common hit and run tactic that Vulkoras commanders use is to try to sneak it behind enemy lines and assault several of their heavy defensive platforms and planetary defenses before the enemy can react.

History
When the TEC, Vasari Empire, and Advent entered IgR space, the Vulkorus began devastating ships of the Republic and their new TEC allies. When the Vasari were put down, the Vulkorus was one of the ships the Republic decided to keep in production. The new, upgraded ships were used in various battles against Reaper, Yuzhong Vong, and Advent Separatist forces, proving their worth up until the First Contact War, where their planet destroying abilities were unable to be employed like they were against Yuzhong Vong, Flood, and Zerg infested planets.
