Attack Frigate : This is not an official SW starship, though some design elements were derived from the Venator. The light gray with dark gray and dark red markings signifies Republic colors during ROTS and beyond. Several of this minifig scale attack frigate were used in a convoy during the Clone Wars as escorts to the Venator but faster, deadlier, carried and deployed frontline regiments of clonetroopers.
