- Like all products of Byblos Star Drives, the Nopetopus-Class comes equipped with a Hypermatter Annihilator System, allowing it to create an enormous amount of power for its various systems and sub-systems which means it can operate for far longer than normal.
- Formidable Station
- The Nopetopus-Class was specifically engineered to serve as both an interdiction station and a defense station, boasting a significant array of weaponry positioned throughout its hull and possessing ample shielding to endure multiple enemy fleet bombardments without being breached.
- Gravity-Well Projector
- The Nopetopus-Class, comes equipped with four G7-X gravity well projectors which is designed to mimick a planet's gravitional pull by using an interdiction field. It has the capability to obstruct and potentially halt starships from accessing hyperspace due to the fact that the majority of spacecraft are unable to navigate through a planet's gravitational field.
- The hyperwave inertial momentum sustainer (HIMS)
- The Nopetopus-Class demonstrates its effectiveness primarily on starships lacking a HIMS System, which was specifically created to neutralize interdiction fields.
- Stationary
- The Nopetopus-Class Interdiction Station was specifically engineered to operate as a stationary facility, devoid of any capacity for mobility or propulsion due to the absence of essential starship components.
- Weaponry or Interdiction Field
- Although the Nopetopus-Class is equipped with a Hypermatter Annihilator System; however, due to the significant power needed to create a sufficient interdiction field, the vessel is unable to utilize its primary weapons during combat against a fleet. A strategic commander must decide between activating the gravity well projectors or maintaining active weaponry.
The Nopetopus-Class Interdiction & Defense Station is a dual-role military station, with its primary goal being to defend the hyperspace routes around Mandalorian Space from incursion while also simultaneously serving as an interdiction station in a secondary capacity.
The Mandalorian Protectors commissioned the Nopetopus-Class from Byblos Star Drives with the specific goal of blocking access to crucial hyperspace lanes in their area of control, while also protecting them from pirate and enemy incursions from such factions as the Dark Empire and even the Galactic Alliance should relations take a turn for the worst.
The Model RTT-40 prototype underwent thorough engineering and testing procedures overseen by the Galactic Alliance's Naval Engineering Core and the Engineers of Byblos Star Drives before being approved for production in a limited quantity.
