===''Senate''-class Star Destroyer===
The proposed ''Senate''-class represents a swing away from the gunship back to the carrier role. Closer in scale to a ''Victory'' or ''Venator'', the ''Senate'' design is meant to combine a hefty complement of 144 starfighters, firepower comparable to a ''Victory II'', and powerful shields using technologies pioneered by the Mon Calamari. In compensation, it has a reduced capacity for troops and cargo, though it can reconfigure one for the other with a little advance notice (at a rate of 10 cargo to 1 humanoid passenger, and vice versa). Only the flag apartments (comfortable accommodations for up to 50 people, meant for admirals, senators, or other dignitaries—and their staffs) cannot be readily converted into meaningful cargo space.
