ADVANCED SYSTEMS
STRENGTHS
  • Siege Battlecruiser: The Autarch primarily serves as an orbital siege platform for planetary assaults. Two orbital autocannons serve as the primary weapon to fulfill this role and are capable of cracking shields and obliterating unshielded fortifications. These cannons can be turned against other capital ships to devastating effect.
  • Powerful Offensive Weaponry: Besides its role as a siege platform, the Autarch is also a dedicated ship-to-ship battlecruiser with a vast array of offensive weapon systems to pound enemy ships into space dust. Heavy turbolasers, ion cannons, and concussion missiles account for only a small amount of the weapons capable of being levied against the enemies of the Empire.
  • Unwavering Defenses: Coupled with the extensive weapon systems is a series of intricate and all-encompassing defensive shields, point-defense cannons, and a reinforced hull capable of taking a firm beating and still trucking on to dish out just as much punishment as received.
WEAKNESSES
  • Slow: All of those assault systems doesn't leave a lot of room for powerful engines, and the Autarch tends to move at a snail's pace when not traveling through hyperspace.
  • Bridge Tower: The Autarch has an exposed bridge tower rising up from the mountainous superstructure. This leaves the bridge open to direct attack.
  • Rear Blind Spot: A staple of Imperial Star Destroyer design is the forward offensive mentality, meaning that the ship's rear is woefully unprotected by the Autarch's weapons. Of course, this can be mitigated by placing smaller ships at the rear, but on its own, it has little to no means of warding off rear assaults.
DESCRIPTION

The Sith Empire had always made great use of powerful battlecruisers designed as mobile weapons platforms and siege engines, particularly when dislodging well-entrenched enemies in the Core region such as the Alderaani and Commenori. But, the current battlecruisers that fulfilled this role for the Empire were beginning to show their age.
They needed to adapt, they needed to be improved.
The Autarch was the solution. Though it was built upon the same principles as its forebears, the Autarch differed with a vastly streamlined hull design and better managed internal systems that reduced space and made operation smoother. A pair of powerful orbital autocannons dominated its ventral hull, which could be angled and rotated to attack nearly anything situated below the lateral line of the battlecruiser.
As the Empire switched gears into its next phase of expansion, more and more Autarchs were put into production to phase out the aged siege battlecruisers in the Empire's possession.
