The Bloodhowl-class Star Destroyer was a warship conceived for planetary defense, planetary assault, and ship-to-ship combat. It was designed by Iron Wrath Industries, and produced by the Iron Empire. It saw use as part of the Iron Imperial Navy, serving the role of a Heavy Star Destroyer. At 1,700 metres in length, the Bloodhowl was the largest mass-produced warship in the Iron Imperial fleet.
Expected to be deployed across a variety of combat scenarios, the Bloodhowl-class Star Destroyer was outfitted with a diverse range of offensive weaponry. Primarily intended for ship-to-ship combat, the Bloodhowl featured: 10 Heavy Long Range Turbolaser Batteries, 10 Long Range Turbolaser Batteries, 40 Heavy Turbolaser Batteries, 10 Long Range Ion Batteries, 20 Ion Batteries, 5 Hyper Velocity Guns, and 30 General Purpose Warhead Tubes. These weapons allowed the Star Destroyer to engage enemy vessels at any range. However, it was at its most effective in close-to-mid range combat.
To protect the vessel, the Bloodhowl-class Star Destroyer was equipped with primary deflector shields, redundant deflector shields, and a reinforced hull. Due to its increased size, both the primary shield generators, and redundant shield generators, sat nestled within the Bloodhowl itself.
This combination of offensive weaponry, and defensive equipment, left the Bloodhowl-class Star Destroyer with no space to transport starfighters. As such, it could not house any craft. So as not to be easy prey for enemy starfighters, the Bloodhowl was outfitted with numerous anti-starfighter weaponry, including: 40 Point Defense Cannons, 40 Anti-missile Octets, and 40 Flak Cannons.
