ADVANCED SYSTEMS
- 2x Repulsor Ion Arc Reactor aka R.I.A.R.
- Automated Navicomputer and targeting systems
- Shield Disrupting Projector
- HIMS generator Gravity well x2
- Proton Beam Canon
- ZEUS AI droid Brain
- Extreme offensive capability: By using the very best technology available to the company, the Jormungandr comes equipped with a varied and very deadly assortiment of weapons, ranging from a strong point defense system to a capital ship busting forward facing proton beam canon.
- Extreme Defensive capability: Bolstered by both impressively strong plating, heavy neuranium lined hull and well protected and designed internal sections along with a slew of shields and defensive mechanism provide a solid, imposing defensive array.
- Highly automated: Coupled to and aided by the ZEUS AI droid brain, the already well known highly automated functions of this ship have been taken to the next degree, allowing the ship to access larger intelligence profiles and even faster responses to commands.
- Due to the high automation of the ship, when the shields are out of play, EMP and Ion based attacks can wreak havoc when not properly dealt with.
- Internal hacking is a great threat to this ship.
- Rather slow and cumbersome due to its massive size and weight added to the fact that both RIAR reactors are mainly focused on the offensive and defensive capacity rather than propulsion.
Designed and Created on demand of Luke Kratos, who demanded a battlecruiser to be built with the combined specifications of the Brabo and Antigon prototypes. As such the design department in Eriadu went to work on implementing the various strong points of each ship respectively and started shipping the materials and parts to the Xa Fel Shipjards of Jast Shipwright Co. for final assembly and inspection.
Listed among the many features of this ship are first and foremost its weaponry, which exists out of a large and numerous amount of turbolaser batteries set up in quad, dual and single battery formations, a large quad lasergun point defense system and a grand total of eighty missile tubes. It's heavy artillery though, consists out of a large number of heavy ion canons and a proton beam canon fixed along the spine of the ship with the canon secured and locked in on the prow of the vessel. However, the main attraction would surely be the Taurus class heavy Ion canons, which with eight in total might actually pose a large thread to enemy vessels than the forward facing proton beam canon, due to the high force and risidual emp effect.
On the flipside, the defenses were not forgotten in the design. On the contrary even, due to the choice of the customer to invest extremely in both offensive and defensive power, the ship possesses practically every possible type of shield a single ship would be able to maintain for a prolongued time. Though not at all impossible to break through, the fact that the ship contains not one, but two RIAR's proves that the shields at the very least could take one heck of a beating before crumpling under the pressure. Aided by interdictor fields and tractor beams, the ship is very capable in drawing in an enemy fleet and overwhelm them with sheer power if need be, but it also allows for tactical play.
Perhaps the most interesting part of the ship though, is the fact that it had a ZEUS droid brain coupled and linked to all the main networks of the ship, allowing for perfect monitoring of the ship's overall maintainance and status. The ai also allows for smoother operational demands, lightens the overall workload and allows a commander to be more in control of both the ship and the squadrons of fighters under its wings. Coming with an complimentary number of SDS-2 pincer droidfighters and MP-TTG1 support ships, the Jormungandr is both an effective powerhouse and a flagship for both the company who made it and the lucky man who would put his name on the contract.
