Gladiator-class Star Destroyer

This ship was intended as an escort for Victory-class Star Destroyers, but the design was delayed past prime date for the Victory-class and it was instead commissioned as a long-range patrol ship. One of the more famous ships of this class, the Demolisher, was ironically stolen and used by the pirate Gir Kybo Ren-Cha. It is predominantly a missile carrier, sporting capital grade concussion missiles and torpedoes which are fed into the launchers via auto-loading conveyor belts. It has varied armament but too lightly to serve as anything other than a long-range missile support and micro-carrier in fleet engagements. In an anti-pirating role it is reasonably effective.
