The Vindicator's hull was used again to build the Enforcer-class picket cruiser, a patrol ship used by the Pentastar Alignment. In addition to manufacturing new Immobilizer 418s, the Empire converted a number of Vindicators into Interdictor cruisers.
The Immobilizer 418 cruiser was designed using the same basic hull as the Vindicator. They were to replace the Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser as the Navy's standard multi-role cruiser. The ship was manufactured by Sienar Fleet Systems. It was intended for use in situations in which Imperial-class Star Destroyers were unavailable, and smaller ships were not powerful enough.
Other configurations could carry only two squadrons of starfighters.
Most Vindicators were specifically configured so that they could carry a full TIE starfighter wing and operate independently without the need for support ships. It carried 400 troops and a crew of 2,551. The Vindicator was equipped with a Class 2 hyperdrive. The ship's armament consisted of 25 light turbolasers, 20 light quad turbolasers, 10 point-defense laser cannons, 20 light point-defense ion cannons, and 6 tractor beam projectors organized into 5 light turbolaser batteries, 5 light quad turbolaser batteries, 4 laser batteries, 4 ion cannon batteries and one capital-grade tractor beam battery.
