The Pacifier-class sector patrol cruiser,[1] also known as a Pacifier-class Republic ship,[2] was a class of patrol cruiser utilized by the Galactic Republic during the High Republic Era. Owned by the member worlds of the Republic Defense Coalition, they were operated by a crew of one hundred. Five Pacifier-class cruisers were present as part of the Republic and Jedi Order force during the Battle of Kur against the Nihil. Two of the cruisers, the Marillion from Alderaan and the Yekkabird from Corellia, were destroyed during the battle.[1]
