AR-0B Damage Reduction Armor Component - Equipped to many of the vessels that are manufactured by Von Sorenn Industries; the Centurion II is equipped with a component that runs a constant ablative current through the hull of the vessel. This current assists in removing harmful debris and substances from the vessel to aid in reducing damage as well as increasing the longevity of the vessel's hull.
GalaxyGuard Mk VII - A shield booster system that is produced by BvK Fleet Systems. The system can be tiered with up to three other units to provide additional endurance and range to a starship's Deflector Shields.
World Breaker - The Centurion II is capable of carrying a full Droid Corps and their equipment, or a Corps of Organics and their equipment. It uses this capability alongside similar vessels to completely secure a system or world without little additional assistance or aid.
Heavily Armed - Its primary focus and greatest strength is the vast array of offensive and defensive weaponry that is equipped on the vessel. Its primary role as a Battlecruiser sees it focusing heavily on ship-to-ship engagement; though it has trouble when dealing with smaller vessels. It is best suited to stand toe-to-toe with other Battlecruisers or Star Destroyers.

Starfighter Swarms - The Centurion II is designed with a focus on battering an enemy vessel until nothing remains beyond a shattered hull of melted slag. Even carrying a rather impressive amount of Starfighters; the vessel itself still has trouble in dealing with Starfighters, Fast Attack Corvettes, and Gunships - forcing it to rely heavily upon escort vessels and Starfighters.
Maneuverability - The turning radius on this vessel is nearly non-existent. While not as incapable of turning on a dime like the Somnus; the Centurion II still has trouble with executing precise maneuvers, turns, and other rapid movements.
Exposed Bridge - Like many vessels sharing a similar design aesthetic to the Centurion II-class Battlecruiser; the bridge of the vessel sits to the rear and protrudes up from the rest of the vessel. This leaves it in a rather vulnerable, and easily targetted position. The destruction of the bridge could mean dire consequences for all those remaining on board.
Shields Down - In order to properly launch its Starfighter wing, the shields around the hanger bays must be lowered. While the shields are down, this leaves the interior of the vessel exposed, potentially resulting in catastrophic damage should the hanger be attacked or an enemy starfighter gain access and begin firing on the hanger deck.

The Centurion II-class Battlecruiser is a heavily armed Battlecruiser designed with a focus on ship-to-ship combat, though struggles against dealing with smaller craft forcing it to rely upon smaller support craft to account for where it lacks. Like many of the vessels that are designed and manufactured by Von Sorenn Industries, the Centurion II-class Battlecruiser is equipped with Carbon-Durasteel Armor and a Damaged Reduction Armor Component. This component runs a continual ablative current throughout the hull to assist in the removal of harmful debris and substances from the Hull; this system also acts to assist in extending the longevity of the Hull. Additionally, it is also equipped with multiple GalaxyGuards, a system that provides increased endurance and range of the vessel's Deflector Shields, strengthening its defenses further than the already heavily armored and shield systems the Battlecruiser is equipped with.
Limited in its Production - with no more than Sixty of these vessels existing in the Galaxy at any one time - they are highly cost-prohibitive, with only a few planets within the Confederacy capable of purchasing and fielding one of these vessels in their Planetary Defense Force. However; those planets that are not as well off, they would find themselves hard-pressed to be capable of affording such a vessel. These vessels more often than not serve as Capital Vessels in a larger fleet when they are deployed, or additional support when deployed alongside a Super Star Destroyer. However, as mentioned, they have trouble when it comes to dealing with smaller craft such as Starfighters, Fast Attack Corvettes, and Gunships. Even with the point defense weaponry and systems to assist in tracking fast-moving targets, they still heavily rely upon smaller vessels such as Corvettes and Frigates of their own to deal with those threats.
Equipped with multiple suites of Tractor-Beam Projectors and multiple Ion Cannons - the Centurion II-class Battlecruiser utilizes these systems to assist in disabling vessels for capture; or in the case of specific targets, will often utilize them to disable the vessel, hold the vessel in place, and decimate said vessel until it is nothing more than a smoldering hulk of slag. Its primary weaponry capabilities are focused around its Quad Turbolaser Cannons and Heavy Turbolaser Cannons, while also being capable of unleashing multiple strikes of Concussion Missiles and Proton Torpedoes; while multiple Deck Cannons, Long Guns, and Point Defense Cannons assist in producing a multilayer defense against projectiles and enemy weaponry.
Internally the vessel is protected by a series of Blast Doors and Holocams, meant to aid security personnel in apprehending individuals that are not meant to be on the vessel or may have managed to board the vessel during an engagement. These security features also include Force Fields and Ray Shielding to assist in capturing individuals, as well as Walkthrough Identification Scanners utilized to prevent droids from accessing areas of the vessel they are unauthorized to enter. Klaxon alarms to alert nearby personnel of an emergency in the area, as well as code cylinder readers, add an additional level of security by preventing unauthorized personnel access to specific areas of the vessel. Communication Systems on the vessel also ensure that it is capable of transmitting and receiving messages via hyperspace as well as subspace, while a Telesponder broadcasts the vessel's IFF to nearby ships.
