===Pelta Class===
[[file:Republic_Pelta_Chan.jpg|right|300px]]

The Republic Pelta is cheaper but slightly weaker than its Rebel equivalent.  It retains the same shields and defense tokens, but loses one forward dice.  Instead of a fleet command, both versions offer a fleet support.  Its lower cost puts the pelta in competition with the consular as a fleet building block rather than a centerpiece.  This is illustrated by its title list, which leans into making it a better small base ship. 

* '''Medical Frigate:''' Combining a fleet support with an offensive slot and squadron 2, this is a natural choice for bomber command center.
* '''Transport Frigate:''' The cheaper variant with a defensive slot; with two aft red dice, it's worth considering reactive gunnery.
* '''Titles'''
** '''FB-88''': Before you reveal a command you may discard your top command dial.  DOES NOT DISCARD, making it a strictly better skilled first officer and effectively turning the pelta into a psudo command 1 ship.
**'''TB-73''': Gains an evade token.  But you don't have a turbolaser slot so no TRCs.
