SPECIAL FEATURES

Strengths:
Onager - The Aurora-class is a siege vessel and designed around its array of heavy ranged weaponry. The class moves into position and presents a massive amount of fire on a target relying on support vessels for defense from attack craft and smaller capital vessels. powerful assault and bombardment systems.

Weaknesses:
Dreadnaught - The Aurors-class is very much a dreadnaught in it has only offensive heavy weapon systems. It lacks any defensive weaponry and thus must depend on Escorts for anti-attack craft support.

Brick - Because of its design the propulsion systems are meant more to move the vessel into position and stabilize it for the best firing solution.

Description: The Aurora-class Star Destroyer is the first of the Destroyer rate vessels to be designed is built, for one thing, Bombardment Missions. It hosts a formidable array of bombardment weaponry and an advanced targeting sensor suite.

Design: At the center of this vessel are the multiple Proton-8 reactors which supply the power for systems and energy weapons. These reactors are positioned aft of amidships and are contained in ejectable quardranium steel casings. Powe is shunted from the reactors into a massive bank of energy capacitors banks with redundant regulation and emergency diode shunting shutoff systems. Each capacitor is equipped with a dedicated overcharging system to help stabilize the massive amounts of energy needed for weapons and shielding.

The hull of the Aurora-class its built around the triple braced ferrocarbon frame then wrapped in EMNERA Star Ship Armor making the vessel hardened to nearly all forms of weaponry. Molecular shielding further protects the vessel and supplyes power to the massive capacitor banks to be used to aid the already powerful energy system.

Propulsion is handled by modernized Nubian Creveld-5 Radial Ion Drives. While these systems make the Aurora mobile, they are inadequate to thrust the vessel at speeds comparable to modern day star destroyers. This flaw was intentional as design concentration was focused on offensive and bombardment needs over mobilization. This makes Aurora a powerful standoff vessel capable of delivering massive amounts of damage per volley compared to other modern vessels of its class. As with the ion drives maneuvering thrusters are designed for stabilization more than rapid maneuvering. Solid fueled micro thrusters are equipped to keep the vessel in exact orbits to better equip targeting and sensor operation.

A small hanger is positioned amidships that can deploy the Auroras two squadrons of attack craft and house its limited assault force and visiting vessels.

History: The first six Aurora class ships were designed by Lash and the IFW engineering team at the request of the Dominion. The ships first run were all completed and issued service tags according to the Dominions request and transferred to the organization's fleet.

You've got these Energy Capacitors and Overcharge system that have me somewhat concerned. The wookie descriptions for both indicate they can be used to increase the rate of fire and power of turbolasers, which if it were to be the case on this ship would be a very significant strength and need an equally significant trade-off in return. On the other hand you're mostly featuring kinetic weapons, which I can't see being affected all that much.

So basically I'm wondering if the overcharge stuff is intended to work as per the wookie or if there's some other plan for it. Either way I'd like to see the description cover just what effect they have, assuming it is something beyond just fluff regarding power requirements.
