- Weaponry: The Darkstar-class Assault Ship is outfitted with a wide range of weaponry suited for space combat, with multiple units of this vessel capable of rending even Star Destroyers asunder with consistent enough attacks.
- Expert Crew: Because of the ship’s frontline role and risk of destruction, each crew member must undergo extensive training so as to ensure a solid confidence and skill set to achieve victory for the fleet at large. Additionally, because of this training it is rare - if not impossible - to see a Darkstar-class flee a battle on their own volition.
- Ramming Design: As one final effort in the face of certain death, the crew can engage on a ramming trajectory with the vessel’s pointed bow, carving through the enemy vessels at the cost of destruction.
- Light Defenses: Serving as the main offensive vessel in the Consortium’s navy, these ships bear light defenses so as to maximize their offensive potential. This means they can only suffer a moderate threshold of attack before being destroyed.
- No Advanced Systems: In order to ensure that enough of these ships could be produced to serve as the standard line vessel for the Consortium’s fleets, Kascalion begrudgingly cut all advanced systems from the blueprints.
More weapon than vessel, the Darkstar-class Assault Ship was designed to serve as the frontline defender and attacker of the Consortium fleets. Armed with intricately placed missile bays, laser cannons, and two turbolaser batteries, the Darkstar can combat a wide variety of enemy vessels either alone or within a group. Such is the Darkstar's offensive power and training of its crew that a single cohesive group can expertly defend or destroy even a Star Destroyer-class. Today, the Darkstar-class Assault Ship is the most common ship seen by the Consortium's enemies, and is often the last ship they see as well.
