Concave Dish Heavy Proton-Beam Cannon
Advanced Armament - Featuring several dozen turbolaser batteries of various size and function, as well as miscellaneous ion cannons and point defence weaponry. The Conqueror-II excels at ship-to-ship combat, being capable of overpowering a handful of frigates at once. It also serves as a perfect tool for coordinated orbital bombardments of celestial bodies, its turbolasers able to vaporize buildings. But the primary aspect of the Conqueror-II, as well as previous Conqueror-class Star Destroyers, is its proton beam cannon, while incapable of destroying celestial bodies, the proton beam can heavily damage other capital ships with several shots depending on the size of the vessel and intensity of the beam.
Enhanced Defences - The shielding itself is above average in the terms of capacity and energy/projectile absorption, but this ship class differs from its predecessor in the fact that it has an additional, redundant, layer of shielding; meaning if that one went down, there would be a fresh deflector shield waiting for the enemy.
Enhanced Maneuverability - In order to combat the limitations of the enemy having to be in front of this destroyer, thrusters with above-average power permit it to be able to track most enemies with relative ease.
- Exotic Weaponry - Chiss-made megamasers have been installed in lieu of regular turbolasers, granting the vessel somewhat of an edge against starships that thought they would be facing an enemy armed with turbolasers.
Reduced Capacity - In an effort to make room for the concave dish that that proton beam projectors are mounted on, a rather large sliver of the star destroyer's fore section was removed; Along with it a good portion of passenger, cargo, and even starfighter capacity as the primary and attack hangar bays were removed in exchange for the Weapon's inner workings.
Power Hungry - When preparing to fire the axial-mounted laser, the Conqueror-II is at its weakest. The massive array easily draws power from other systems including but not limited to weapons, shields, and engines; leaving the ship exposed after firing at its full potential.
Firing Rate - The Conqueror-II shares the same firing rate of its proton beam cannon as its predecessor: a two minute charging period for a 'single reactor ignition' in which the blast is the equivalent of a very strong hypervelocity gun, up to a 'full power ignition' (technically five reactor ignitions) for a ten minute charging period on par with a nuclear weapon that can vaporize a cruiser. During this time, the crew can acquire a precise lock on the target area, be it a starship or a planetary position to commence bombardment upon.
Aft Weaponry - Always commonplace with Imperial starships; the entirety of the aft section of the starship has been dedicated to the engines and the command tower, with a maximum of eight point defence lasers features there. This can be a crippling weakness if an enemy can position itself behind the ship.
Exotic Weaponry - Surprisingly, the ships is also at a slight disadvantage with the megamasers. If one were to malfunction during battle, it would be out of the fight entirely due to the fact that Imperial engineers simply do not have enough experience with megamasers in order to carry out quick repairs, hindering the ship in a prolonged fight with its shields down.
The War had gone on for months now.
Countless lives, both Imperial and Alliance, had been lost in the chaos of the Great Galactic War. Weapons had been created and expended in order to harm the other side's forces and morale. The Empire had bravely defended both Zenith Prime and Tatooine from invasions, but even their powerful starfleet was beginning to slip in the arms race, more and more star destroyers being lost during naval engagements.
Director Caalgen, riding the success of the fearsome Mandator siege battlecruiser, was irate to discover that the Sith had plagiarized his signature weapon, and therefore decided to bring an old classic back to the frontlines of the war.
The Conqueror II-class of star destroyers is built to adapt from the shortcomings of their experimental predecessor, morphing from a prototype testbest into a fully fledged warship designed to obliterate enemy capital ships in mere seconds. The concave dish proton cannon returns on this ship, more powerful than ever and capable of striking fear deep into the hearts of enemy captains.
Both the Death Star and its namesake had failed during the Galactic Civil War, but the Conqueror will always serve the Empire as a reminder to its enemies:
We will strike back.
