The Republic Cruiser Radiant VII is a veteran of 34 years in service to the diplomatic corps of Coruscant, the capital world of the Galactic Republic. The ship serves as a diplomatic vessel and neutral meeting ground for Republic officials and leaders of groups in conflict, and has the reputation of being an absolutely secure vessel for high-level diplomatic meetings and confrontations.
Built in the great orbital shipyards of Corellia, the 115-meter long Radiant VII is well equipped with a wide range of dish and antennae communications systems, which are manned by two communications officers who specialize in deciphering strange languages and decoding complex alien signal pulses.
An interchangeable diplomatic salon pod is located in the forward section of the ship, just below the bridge. In this insulated safe haven, critical negotiations take place and crises are averted. In the event of attack or other emergency situations, the entire salon pod can break away from the cruiser and rocket the diplomatic party to safety. The striking scarlet color scheme of the Republic Cruiser declares the ship's diplomatic immunity and serves as a warning against attack. Red is the color of neutrality for spacecraft of the Galactic Republic, and has been for generations.
