The two levels were connected with elevator platforms. A lower, smaller hangar area was used to embark and disembark ground troops and material via a large ramp when landed. Gunships were suspended along an overhead circulating rail in the upper hangar for maintenance procedures during travels. Eighty Low Altitude Assault Transports, of which around 66 were infantry gunships and around 14 were vehicle carriers, were carried to insert personnel, vehicles, and cargo into battle zones in addition to providing close air support. Įach Acclamator-class ship held 320 speeder bikes, used by clone troopers for fast battlefield reconnaissance and patrol duties. In addition to ground landings, Acclamator-class ships were capable of water landings, as displayed at the Battle of Mon Calamari. They also carried eighty aircraft and eighty-four armored vehicles, such as the AT-TE and SPHA walkers, used to provide clone troopers with heavy battlefield support. Complement Īcclamator-class ships had berths for sixteen thousand clone troopers, the equivalent of an entire legion or brigade and its support personnel. Sensor and communications suites were located at the front of the ship's command tower. The bridge crew usually consisted of fully-armored clone pilots manning the control panels, with most operators being seated in twin crew pits below the command officer's area.

The main bridge and command center had no windows but relied upon advanced holoscreens shaped like the triangular viewports similar to the ones on other Kuat vessels. This tower module was a standard design for smaller ships in Kuat Drive Yards's starship catalog, which Rothana supplied vessels to. The bridge was located in the middle of an arrow-shaped command tower module that protruded from the dorsal superstructure. Most of the passenger and barrack decks were located on the upper levels of an Acclamator-class ship. The underside of the Acclamator was dominated by a large assault hangar capable of offloading an entire legion of clone troopers and their vehicles in short order. This basic design was used in a number of larger craft pre-dating it and would define Imperial ships for decades to come. Consequently, the Acclamator favored a wedge or dagger shaped design due to its effectiveness-it allowed concentration of firepower while minimizing target profile. Its mission profile required it to both carry troops and engage enemy starships: the Acclamator was designed to assault contested systems, break hostile orbital blockades, and land troops directly on the battlefield. The Acclamator-class assault transport was 752 meters long, 460 meters in width, and 200 meters in height.
