These automated systems reduce the crew requirements of the vessel by nearly sixty percent. In order to reduce the number of crewmembers required to operate the frigate, automated systems, including large numbers of Droids, have been implemented throughout the design. Even with these adjustments, the crew complement of the frigate would still be too extreme. In order to improve the ship's maneuverability, two large solar fins were installed along the frigate's dorsal edge. Not only does this increase the engine capacity of the vessels, but the reduced mass of the ship greatly increases fuel efficiency. To begin with, huge amounts of the Dreadnaught's superstructure have been removed. Something needed to be done in order to make use of the Dreadnaughts, which were badly needed if the Alliance was to have a chance of defeating the Empire. True, the ranks of The Rebel Alliance swelled with every new atrocity committed by the Empire, but this growth was neither fast nor specialized enough to generate several of the 16,000-member crews that Dreadnaughts ordinarily require. The crew requirements of the old warships were astronomical, especially considering the Alliance's limited pool of available crew. When the Alliance acquired a number of Dreadnaught-Class Heavy Cruisers, the initial excitement was replaced by apprehension.
Although it is common for the Alliance to modify and adapt Starships to its own specifications, the Rebel Assault Frigate is set apart by the sheer amount of modification that it has seen. Though they are hardly recognizable as such, these Alliance craft are heavily modified Imperial Dreadnaughts.
The Rebel Assault Frigate is a unique addition to the Alliance Fleet due to its origins. Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Starships of the Galaxy
