[SIZE=9pt]Description[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]: [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]After work finished on the Exalt-class Star Destroyer, and the subsequent move from Sith space to more neutral locations for the company, Aurora began to work on its next big project for its line of Star Destroyers. Many ideas were batted around, but nothing could be decided on until after an expedition of Taeli’s hit the motherlode.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Discovering the Jagged Fel, an old Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer, with Solan Charr allowed Taeli to gain the schematics to one of the strongest ships that had ever been in production, but she immediately began making modifications to create something for Aurora to produce and develop. Codenamed Project Bastion, the entire development project would be the umbrella program for Aurora’s current line of ships and ship based technology.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Favoring massive amounts of firepower and survivability, the Star Destroyer dubbed the Bastion-class Star Destroyer is equipped with eighty long range turbolaser batteries, sixty heavy turbolasers, eighty heavy ion cannons, fifty torpedo launchers, one hundred dual flak guns, and one hundred point defense lasers. All guns are mounted on the dual layered sloped alusteel hull to provide the ship with superior vantage points for the weapon batteries, just as the Pellaeon it is descended from.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The Bastion-class also comes equipped with an interdiction field generator, two redundant shield generators, six Crevald-4 radical ion drives, four banks of escape pods, detention cells, standard ship systems, and all of it powered by three Borealis Reactor Cores spaced around the ship to prevent sabotage from taking the ship’s systems offline.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The Bastion does have some drawbacks however. The ship is not going to be winning any awards for speed or maneuverability with its design focus being firepower and durability, so the ship is rather ungainly to shift its positions. The Bastion’s weapons are also not focused on protecting the rear or bottom of the ship, requiring support from other vessels designed with defense in mind to cover those areas. The ship also only comes equipped with a hanger bay large enough for two shuttles and must rely on fighter support from other ships in a fleet. It is also rather expensive to produce, with Aurora only building these if contracted out by a faction with enough credits to fund the project, even then orders would not be in great numbers to reflect just the sheer size and scope of the project.[/SIZE]
