Strengths:
- Heavy Armament: The Conqueror-class Star Destroyer may lack a certain amount of conventional turbolasers, but installed within this vessel is a large proton beam with devastating potential.
- Good Shielding: Also present on these vessels is decent enough shielding to protect from damage while escort ships mop up the threat.
- Capacity: Cargo, Consumable, and Passenger capacity has been halved to make room for the massive proton beam cannon integrated at the front of the vessel.
- Power Draw: The proton beam can easily draw power away from other systems such as shielding, weaponry, and propulsion to rapidly charge for firing.
- Anti-fighter Defenses: Simple, there are none. To meet spacial and security requirements, only heavy turbolasers were installed. Anti-fighter defense falls to its escorts and single squadron of fighters.
Eight hundred years later, as the Imperial Remnant rises on a galactic scale, they found the schematics for this vessel in old Imperial archives. While they recreated many aspects of the original star destroyer, they did not have the resources to construct the superlaser, instead settling for a weaker but still powerful proton beam.
Incapable of destroying celestial bodies, the proton beam can heavily damage capital ships with several shots depending on the size of the vessel and intensity of the beam. If desperate enough, the beam can be used to carry out orbital bombardment of planetary bodies, but this is considered ineffective when a fleet of star destroyers can do the same in a shorter amount of time.
To make room for the proton beam dish, numerous turbolasers were removed, but the shield installed is still as strong as a regular star destroyer. Therefore, this requires the Conqueror-class to have escorts most of the time. This is slightly negated by the single squadron of fighters it carries in its downsized hanger.
This technological terror is now the ultimate power in the Outer Rim, I suggest we use it.
NOTE: PCs may decide if the Conqueror blast hits their ships, and may also decide the extent of the damage. I want the weapon to be powerful but fair in RP so people cannot complain about it being overpowered.
