The Chancellor Class Command Star Destroyer is one of the largest warships in the Republic Navy, and serves as command ships for it's fleets.

Origins
Emerging during the Clone Wars, the Chancellor-class Star Destroyer was intended to serve as the command vessels which would direct Republic forces to victory. As planetary invasions were at least as important as space battles during the Clone Wars, the Chancellor was designed to serve as a command centre for both ground and space forces. To this end, the Chancellor was heavily armed, as well as capable of entering the upper levels of a planetary atmosphere in order to disgorge dozens of landing barges and thousands of troops. The dual command roles of the Chancellor led the designers of the ship to include two fully-equipped command bridges. While either of these bridges is capable of controlling the ship, as well as commanding space and land forces, typically the lower bridge serves as the command centre for ground forces, while the flying bridge serves as the command centre for the vessel itself as well as all space forces. As high-priority targets, many Chancellor-class vessels were lost to CIS attacks, however the ships were sufficiently armed and armoured to make such attacks extremely costly for the enemy, especially since a Chancellor was never found without an escort.

Design
The Chancellor Class Command Star Destroyer is almost twice the size of the Venator Class Star Destroyer, and is substantially more powerful than it's smaller kindred. The Chancellor is equipped with nearly five times the firepower, as well as having the ability co-ordinate the operations of an entire fleet. The Class is also capable of transporting over 60,000 troops in the safety of it's heavily shielded hull, making it a powerful asset in any invasion force.
