Design Specifications: The Golan line of Battle Stations have long been known for having a fierce reputation in combat. They have been known to be hard to kill, and give out lots of punishment. When the New Republic took Coruscant, one such station was known for using it's proton torpedo launchers to kill many smaller Alliance warships. This implies that the stations have many torpedo launchers. When the New Republic attacked Bilbringi, after traitorous smugglers ambushed a Golan from behind, the Golan lost a duel to a pair of New Republic Assault Frigates. This, and other reports shows that the Golan, as far as energy weapons goes, is comparable to a Victory Star Destroyer in firepower. As for defenses, however, the Golan is comparable to a much larger ship. Take, for example, the escape of the SSD Lusankya from Coruscant. The Lusankya dueled with the Golan station, but even with the 500 or so weapons the SSD could bring to bear on the station, it would not die in the brief engagement, or even suffer heavy damage. And then there was the battle of Bilbringi in a recent NJO book, where another Golan proved decisive in the battle.
