STRENGTHS

• Sniper: The Disruptor-class Ion Cannon Carrier is designed to engage enemy vessels at long ranges, enabling the ship to avoid incoming enemy fire or simply outrange its opponent's weapons
• Disabler: The 2 V-150 Planet Defenders installed within the Disruptor-class Ion Cannon Carrier's forward facing Gravity Well Projector spheres are highly effective against enemy shields and electronic systems, allowing the vessel to potentially disable ships within mere seconds
• Do not pass go: The installation of 2 Gravity Well Projectors aboard the Disruptor-class Ion Cannon Carrier allows the vessel to prevent enemy fleets from fleeing into hyperspace, making the ship a vitally important piece of equipment
• Easier to manufacture: The removal of the modified planetary defense shield from the Disruptor-class Ion Cannon Carrier has made it much cheaper and easier to produce, allowing it to be manufactured in far greater numbers
• Anti-fighter: Unlike its predecessor, the Disruptor-class Ion Cannon Carrier is better equipped to handle enemy starfighters thanks to its AFT-14.4000B FLAK Turrets
• Automated: Much of the ship is heavily automated, allowing the vessel to operate with a much reduced crew, saving space for additional troops, vehicles and supplies

WEAKNESSES

• Support ship: Though the Disruptor-class Ion Cannon Carrier is geared toward engaging enemy capital ships, it is not necessarily designed to destroy them, and must rely on other friendly units to finish off vessels it had stunned with its Ion Cannons
• Sluggish: Much like its predecessor, the Disruptor-class Ion Cannon Carrier is similarly slow moving and unmaneuverable, forcing it to rely on its heavy armor to survive incoming attacks
• Limited capacity: Though the Disruptor-class Ion Cannon Carrier's use of heavy automation allows the vessel to carry a higher than normal volume of troops, it is still only capable of holding a maximum of two starfighter squadrons
• Costly: While it is far more economical to manufacture than its predecessor, the Disruptor-class Ion Cannon Carrier is still rather expensive and time consuming to produce overall
• Automated: Since much of the ship is heavily automated, this leaves the ship with a much smaller than usual crew, leaving it vulnerable to boarding actions and making it more difficult to respond to internal malfunctions and emergencies

DESCRIPTION

Indirectly inspired by the Galactic Empire's Exactor-class Cruiser, the Disruptor-class Ion Cannon Carrier is the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant's response to the failure of the Gundark-class Armored Cruiser program. Though many of the vessel's design elements have remained unchanged, the ship is different enough to allow it be produced in far greater numbers that the Gundark-class Armored Cruiser could ever be.

One of the most important changes to the ship involved the removal of the Gundark's Nyalsan II Planetary Shield and Q7 Tractor Beam Projector, which were replaced by an additional Gravity Well Projector and V-150 Planet Defender respectively. This made the ship far less costly to manufacture while simultaneously increasing its ability to disable enemy vessels and prevent them from fleeing into hyperspace.

The ship's NZ Breacher Type-1/A hull structure was also removed, making it even less expensive at the cost of it losing its ramming abilities, and its AFT-PIC.445 Quad Plasma Cannon Turrets and NZ HP1 Turbolaser Cannons were replaced with AFT-14.4000B FLAK Turrets and NZ HKAC/800 Artillery Cannons. The rest of the ship was more or less left intact, leaving anyone operating the vessel with a highly capable and potent Ion Cannon boat that can also force enemy fleets to stay in the fight, regardless or whether or not they might want to.
