Interceptor
A light and small ship with great maneuverability. Interceptors of the Old Republic era had neither a bomb bay, nor a force shield, nor their own hyperdrive, which reduced their survivability several times over. In effect, an interceptor's survivability was equal to the pilot's experience. Nevertheless, it is a rather cheap ship, very effective in large numbers due to its maneuverability and speed.
Bomber
In this case, the bomber is a "bomber" only in a very loose sense. In reality, it is more of a torpedo boat — not very fast, poorly protected, but! Torpedoes, as is well known, ignore shields! However... the poor protection of these ships necessitates providing them with cover, although they can quite easily "grind down" a cruiser. Old Republic bombers had no armor, no laser weapons, and no own hyperdrives.

Corvette
In this case, a corvette is a ship designed to destroy light vehicles – fighters and bombers. It is characterized by lower speed, its own shield, and hyperdrives, as well as incredible efficiency – because it is equipped with 2-5 laser cannons, 2-3 turbo laser cannons, and RARELY 1 torpedo launcher. Overall, it is a quite effective mid-range unit. According to some sources, the "Black Falcon" (possibly "Ebony Falcon") is a representative of modified corvettes.

Transport Ship
What can be said about it? It's a transport ship, and that's all. It's designed to transport and deploy cargo, personnel, and equipment to a planet. Basic models lack weaponry. It has its own hyperdrive and shield generator. According to one of the prophecies stored in the secret compartment of Library-5 (also known as Lib-17), in approximately 3500 years +/- 600 years, a transport ship named "Millennial Falcon" will play a crucial role in destroying both weapons capable of destroying planets.
Cruiser
A medium-sized ship, the first in the "conditionally heavy" class. Basic armament consists of 3 turbolaser batteries and 2 torpedo batteries. It has its own shield generator and hyperdrive. Currently, development is underway for aircraft carrier cruisers capable of carrying two squadrons of fighters and one squadron of bombers.
Effective against corvettes, but vulnerable to bombers – they simply can't shoot them down fast enough.
Destroyer
Also known as a "cruiser hunter" and for taking on other heavy ships. It typically carries 4-5 torpedo batteries and one or two laser batteries. It doesn't have a strong shield, but it has powerful engines. Ineffective against gunships – they'll blast it to smithereens with missiles! However, with some skill, a destroyer can single-handedly defeat battleships and capital ships.

Gunboat
The Gunboat is a "rocket on engines." In effect, it's a flying coffin in a direct confrontation — judge for yourself: no shields, no lasers, no anti-missile defense, and the torpedoes are all the same; a volumetric explosion would shred the gunboat itself if fired too close... It would seem to be a useless machine... but on the other hand — it possesses powerful location equipment, 10-17 torpedo launchers, 1-4 ballistics computers, and its firing range exceeds all reasonable numbers... Overall, the ship is designed for defending critical sectors, blockading planets, and system reconnaissance.
Radar Support Ship
As a rule, these are unmanned ships that accompany battleships as part of their support, equipped with an engine and location apparatus. They are used for terrain reconnaissance and the operational mapping of the combat situation.

Frigate
The frigate is a more powerful ship than the cruiser. In fact, a frigate already requires an experienced crew and a skilled captain. Frigates are mainly the core of the fleet, possessing decent shields and engines. Also, due to their high survivability, they can be used for colonization or organizing landing operations. Armament: 2-3 laser turrets, 2-3 torpedo launchers. Medium armor.

Meet our favorite Ebon Hawk:)
Its purpose, like that of ordinary light freighters, is to transport small cargo... However, gamers around the world remember it as the fast, maneuverable personal ship of the main character in both parts of KotOR...

Hammerhead-class cruiser
This is what the combat cruisers of the Old Republic were called – one of these ships, named Harbinger, docked at the Pegarus station at the very beginning of the second part, and it was on this ship that we first met the immortal Lord Sion...
