| - The Broadside-class Missile Cruiser, sometimes refered to as Broadside Missile Cruiser or Broadside Cruiser was an Imperial Missile Frigate first built in 1 BBY. They were long range frigates.
- The Broadside-class is a missile frigate that is essentially a long-range artillery piece in space, requiring spotters to function effectively. The Broadside-class shines in this regard compared to its Rebel counterpart, since the Empire has access to TIE Scouts, which can reveal an area of space which the Broadside can launch a fusillade of ordnance. Whatever is caught in its missile barrage is very likely to be destroyed; any fighter groups will be obliterated in a single shot, corvettes and medium frigates will likely fall apart, and larger ships will suffer considerable damage. Space stations are the most vulnerable target, as they cannot evade missile launched at them, and are large and easy to hit.

Space stations are the most vulnerable target, as they cannot evade missile launched at them, and are large and easy to hit. If left unprotected, however, the ship is very easily dispatched, as it has weak armor and shields, is comparatively slow, and cannot use its missiles effectively at close range.
