Coruscant-class Star Destroyer

Summary
The Coruscant-class Star Destroyer is a new line of Republic warships that were introduced in the year 9 BBY. The first of its class was the Pride of the Republic; which was designated as the new Capitol Flagship for the Republic Navy.

The warship was designed and invented by Amelia Daala, one of the highest ranking Admirals in the Republic Navy. She was stationed at Kuat Drive Yards during most of the Clone Wars and spent the time designing the new warship. The plans were hidden from Palpatine and the entire KYD until she revealed them in 18 BBY. However, since the Republic downsized the military by the order of Chancellor Mon Mothma; the ship wasn't manufactured until 15 BBY. It was in 15 BBY when Chancellor Zaoku authorized the construction of the ship because of the rising Gundao Syndicate and the Second Galactic War to come.

The ship proved itself a success at the Battle for Corellia, in an orbital engagement with the Gundao Syndicate blockade. The ship managed to repel the viral missiles that the Syndicate fired, and also rammed through a Raiderstark Light Destroyer.
