The Bloodhowl III-class Star Destroyer was an improved variant of the Bloodhowl II-class Star Destroyer. Designed by Iron Wrath Industries, and produced by the Iron Empire; it was a warship conceived for planetary defense, planetary assault, troop transport, and ship-to-ship combat. It saw use as part of the Iron Imperial Navy, serving the role of an Elite Heavy Star Destroyer. It was visually distinctive from its predecessors, due to its black hull.
The Bloodhowl III's defensiveness capabilities were identical to that of the Bloodhowl II. It was equipped with primary deflector shields, redundant deflector shields, double redundant deflector shields, and a reinforced hull. As typical for the line, its suite of shield generators sat nestled within the Bloodhowl III itself.
In addition to the weaponry already present on the Bloodhowl and Bloodhowl II's, the Bloodhowl III featured 40 Mass Driver Batteries, 5 Long Range Turbolaser Batteries, 20 Heavy Ion Batteries, 50 Quad Laser Cannons, 10 Point Defense Cannons, 10 Anti-missile Octets, and 10 Flak Cannons. These allowed the Star Destroyer to engage enemy vessels at any range. However, like it's predecessors, it was most effective in close-to-mid range combat.
Similarly to the Bloodhowl, and Bloodhowl II, this combination of supreme offensive weaponry and extreme defensive equipment, left the Bloodhowl III-class Star Destroyer with no space to transport starfighters. As such, it could not house any craft. This led to the Bloodhowl III relying on the protection of escort craft, so as not to be easy prey for swarms of enemy starfighters.
