The Praetor II was an evolution of the ancient Praetor I, possessing several major design changes. First, the ship was 4,800 meters long, or about a third bigger than the normal Praetor. Like many Imperial and Astragonian ships, it was dagger-shaped. Unlike the bridge tower on typical Star Destroyers, the area of the ship where the bridge was supposed to be was quite deceiving to opponents. Rather, the bridge itself was nestled in the cylindrical section in such a way that no enemy could make a sneak attack on it without being exposed to weapons fire.

abstract	The Praetor II was an evolution of the ancient Praetor I, possessing several major design changes. First, the ship was 4,800 meters long, or about a third bigger than the normal Praetor. Like many Imperial and Astragonian ships, it was dagger-shaped. Unlike the bridge tower on typical Star Destroyers, the area of the ship where the bridge was supposed to be was quite deceiving to opponents. Rather, the bridge itself was nestled in the cylindrical section in such a way that no enemy could make a sneak attack on it without being exposed to weapons fire. The ship had three main thrusters and four secondary, like Imperator-class Star Destroyers, but the engines were larger to propel the larger Praetor. Like a few other SSD classes, the ship also had two dorsal ridges across its otherwise flat forward superstructure. Like the TIE/s Smasher, which Astragon developed it alongside, the ship was one of the first to incorporate the super-heavy laser cannon technology and fuse it with modern turbolaser design.The ship had twelve such guns on six dual turrets. Secondary weapons on this ship included 184 quad heavy turbolaser turrets, 240 triple heavy turbolaser turrets, 80 heavy ion cannons, 80 assault concussion missile tubes, 20 heavy proton torpedo tubes, and 18 tractor beams, mainly to keep enemy ships close so the weapons could blow them away. Unusually for a ship of such size, it only carried 74 starfighters—just two more than the Imperator, which was only a third the size of the Praetor. The main reason was a focus on close-range combat instead of long-duration carrier. All of the fighters were TIE Smashers.
