Ashigaru-class Light Cruiser

The Ashigaru-class first saw action in approximately 15 BBY, and was eventually phased out in favour of the Kusarigama-class Frigate. As of 15 ABY, only four still survive in Guard hands: Heian, Tekki, Jitte and Empi, all of which were captured from Kai'to Musashi. The Heian serves with distinction under the command of Captain Dejaa Dite in Operation Ghosthammer.
