Secutor-class Battlecarrier
Perhaps the largest dedicated starfighter carrier in the Imperial arsenal, the massive Secutor-class battlecarrier is an old design from the earliest days of the Imperial Navy. Ostensibly one of the many types of Star Destroyer, these multikilometer-long vessels have more in common with the earlier Venator-class carriers of the Galactic Republic Navy than anything else designed by Imperial era KDY. Like all Star Destroyers, the Secutor class has the instantly recognizable arrowhead-shaped hull with two gaping ventral hangar bays. Unique to this ship class is the command superstructure mounted amidships (rather than aft over the ion drives).

Secutor-class carriers are armed to the teeth with a wide variety of turbolasers, heavy ion cannons, and tractor beams. They are heavily armored, and their shields can absorb a whole battle group's worth of damage with little effort. Within their cavernous hangars are two full wings of starfighters and numerous shuttles and utility craft. In addition, Secutors carry the usual complement of Imperial Army walkers, troopers, armored fighting vehicles, and assorted materiel: enough to easily lay siege to a planet.

USING THIS VEHICLE
Secutor battlecarriers are task force ships, encountered during offensive operations against Alliance fleets, strongholds, and rebellious worlds. Secutors may serve as the central flagship of a flotilla, surronded by smaller escorts, or they may serve as escorts themselves to larger Star Dreadnoughts.

Secutor commanders direct their fighters to establish space superiority and protect the Secutor's aft quarter. Against PCs, Secutor commanders launch enough TIE fighters to gain numerical superiority, normally a two-to-one or three-to-one ratio. As PCs take out enemy TIEs, more fighters are launched to take their place. If the PCs eliminate the initial groups of fighters quickly or have a reputation for troubling the Empire, increase the ratio for subsequent waves. Secutors work best as opposition when tne PCs have a goal other than simply destroying the foe.

ADVENTURE AND ENCOUNTER SEEDS
1. The PCs must come up with a plan to lure away a Secutor's vast starfighter complement so their allies, Rebel or criminal, can reach their objective.

I'd make it faster; this is a Fractalsponge creation, and he specifically said that he saw it as a light pursuit carrier (light compared to his actual fleet carrier, at least)

Suggestion on speed? I have a hard time thinking of capital ships flying at the normal space speed of fast couriers and the Millennium Falcon. So I am honestly open to suggestions.

Space 7 would do fine. A touch faster than an ISD.

With the additional information you have provided I could see taking it to 6, this is equal to an ISD II, which is near SOTA. 7? That is again up there with much smaller craft. I could see it being one of the quickest in its class, but you know as well I do, each class performs within certain parameters. Hence in part, why there are classes.

So yeah, lets up it to 6. Thank you!
