I need help...
I have an incomplete list of Imperial Navy capital ships, where i had put a placeholder for a Cruiser that is 500 meters long, but searching through my notes i cannot find it.
So, any ideas what Imperial Cruiser is 500 meters?

Sadly i don't.
i have sifted through both my electronic notes & hard copy notes, got nothing.
Most likely a cruiser from Lucas Canon, EU/Legends, or Disney Canon.
I was probably viewing it on my computer when it crashed (it does that a lot these days).
I guess i'll be shaking down Wookiepedia & see what i find...

I used the Search Function with the following parameters: 500 AND Cruiser. The most prominent result to come up was the Gladiator-Class.

Thank you, CRMcNeill!
I just finished 'trolling the Wookiepedia for same.
The Gladiator-class Star Destroyer is 600 m, it was given the 500 m length in The Force Unleashed Campaign Guide. The Broadside-class Missile Cruiser seems the more likely candidate.

Neat idea with the Gladiator-Class Assault Cruiser! I may add it as a variant/hybrid, in some capacity. Definitely useful!
I may make a few tweaks, roll out the Gladiator-Class Assault Cruiser as the CRM-1 Gladiator-Class Assault Cruiser, alongside a 900m Cantwell II-class Arrestor Cruiser, upgraded from Cantwell-class Arrestor Cruiser.

Now the old wookipedia is not a bible by any means, but it does provide some usefullness.
I am unsure what was the idea behind the brassword/gladiator thing to be hinest, if we look at them we see they are supposed to share keel , and in ship building trems this means lenght and with and in most cases "class" and overall tonnage ranges as we..

I am sure that either the bradsword is too short, or the gladiator is too long...since they share keel but have a staggering 100m diffence in length.....
I would and I do simply use them as the same keel ships meaning in my games they share the same lenght.....idk I find that if they share keel they should be equally long

Frankly, that old stat needs a re-work, especially since Fractalsponge did his version of it as a contemporary escort ship for Victory-Class ships. I'm thinking of making the fighter-carrying variant as standard, then a "Broadside" variant that replaces the smaller port and starboard bays with torpedo tubes, cutting hugely into fighter capacity to make room for torpedo magazines.

Another 500meter cruiser/light cruiser is the Pursuit Class Light Cruiser from legends.

here is the Wookiepedia link, then just browse here or google for any needed D6 stats.
