Part of the latest generation of Clan Dem'adas warships, the Alor'uus-class Tactical Battleship is a much smaller variant of the iconic Alor-class Dreadnought. It is, in fact, the smallest Dar'tome Mando'ade warship to retain the same base hull layout as the iconic Mandalorian design, with all other descendant designs being Dreadnoughts. Like her larger cousins, the Alor'uus incorporates a large assortment of advanced electronics, electrical systems, and structural elements. Many of these elements are holdover technology retained from records of Mandal Hypernautics' previous designs. The rest of these elements are new innovations learned by necessity after years of combating numerous alien forces, or are borrowed technology taken from those same alien forces.
Retaining the core design philosophy of the ship's previous incarnation and larger cousins, the ship possesses port and starboard nacelle hangars that retract when engaging in hyperspace travel or when engaged in heavy combat. Built into the exterior edge of the Alor'uus's nacelle are a number of starfighter launch tubes. Two squadrons of starfighters are held in the port and starboard hangar respectively. Each hangar is designed to allow all squadrons to launch at once from the built-in launch tubes of each hangar. Any shuttles, dropships, light freighters, or other ships that may have docked in each hangar are unable to be launched in this way. Unlike most other Alor-style ships made by Clan Dem'adas, the Alor'uus does not incorporate drop pod launch bays into her design.
Like the other ships made by Clan Dem'adas, the primary armament of the Alor'uus-class takes the form of batteries of turrets equipped with twin Mass Driver Cannons of a high caliber. These magnetic rail cannons accept a wide range of ammunition and can also be used as Assault Grade Flex-Tube Launchers, enabling the fire control officer to switch between a withering barrage of armor-piercing solid projectiles or a wide range of large ordnance options. These weapons can utilize a number of ammunition types and are often used with Armor Piercing, HE, and time delayed Flak rounds. And can be utilized to launch Assault Concussion Missiles, Ram'or Assault Missiles, (knockoff) ACS Breacher Boarding Torpedos, Homing Cluster EMP Detonation Missiles, Advanced Homing Cluster Missiles, Homing Heavy Intruder Missiles, ID-84 Interdiction Missiles, Collapsium Warhead Missiles, Empion Warhead Missiles, and a number of other options.
Supporting this primary armament are a number of massive "Vulcan" Gatling Mass-Driver Flak Cannons that fire much smaller projectiles at an incredible rate of fire. These weapons can also utilize Armor Piercing, HE, or time delayed Flak ammunition, but takes a considerable amount of time to swap ammo. Numerous secondary point defense emplacements supplement these massive flak cannons to an excessive degree, making the ship capable of projecting devastating fields of fire to protect herself and other nearby ships from hostile starfighter and missile attacks. Also included in the ship's defensive arsenal are a number of MH EM Field Generator Batteries which can create areas of electromagnetic interference around the ship to help defend her from missiles, torpedoes, and hostile starfighters.
Like most of the Dar'tome Mando'ade warships, the Alor'uus-class incorporates a number of advanced power management and propulsion systems. These include an 'Unbreakable Engine System', a Weapon Power Converter, a Power Loop Capacitor, the Mandal Hypernautics designed Overdrive Engine, Maneuvering Thrusters, and Emergency Vector Thrusters, as well as a SLAM system. With these components and the high quality power conduits running through the ship, the Alor'uus-class is capable of redistributing power among various ship systems to dramatically alter the performance of the vessel, although only two of these components may typically be active at any given time.

Unlike her larger contemporaries, the Alor'uus-class Tactical Battleship fills a niche battlefield role through her use of advanced sensors and numerous electronic warfare systems. The chief aspect of the ship's EWAR arsenal would be the Magnetoran Sweep Projector, a device that produces a powerful cone of electromagnetic energy similar in strength to the intense electromagnetic fields surrounding some planets. By rapidly modulating the electromagnetic energy created within this field of effect, the Magnetoran Sweep Projector can disrupt the tracking and targeting systems of effected starships by several degrees. At close ranges, this inaccuracy will hardly be noticed in capital weapon batteries, with the notable exception being point defense batteries. However, at long ranges, this disruption can cause significant errors in weapon accuracy. And when supported by the ship's Signal Scrambler Projector, the Alor'uus is capable of making itself and any nearby ships particularly difficult to engage at extended ranges.
The Alor'uus is equipped with a robust passive stealth system that includes dampening baffles, absorptive polymer paint, WhisperThrust Ion Drives, and magnetic reduction field generators. While this system lacks an active cloak or gravitic reduction technology, it goes a long way towards minimizing the detectability of the ship. Even without utilizing the ship's signal scrambler projector, the Alor'uus is particularly difficult to detect or track at long ranges, or during intense combat. To capitalize on this, the ship makes heavy use of passive detection sensors in general operation and is equipped with both a WADAR and ELDAR sensor system, the latter of which having been purchased from Outer Rim manufacturers.
