ADVANCED SYSTEMS
- N/A
- Heavily Armed: The Eradicator lives up to its namesake, and is bristling with all sorts of weapons from turbolasers to missile launchers, all geared towards the destruction of the enemy.
- Independent Operation: The Eradicator can operate on its own without escort if it was so inclined, though its single fighter squadron won't be able to fend off greater swarms of fighters.
- Slow: The inclusion of so many weapon systems doesn't leave a lot of room for robust and speedy engines, so the Eradicator moves at a leisurely pace.
- Bridge Tower: Typically a hallmark of larger Imperial warships, the Eradicator possesses a rather exposed bridge tower rising above the main hull. This leaves the bridge vulnerable to direct attack, especially from starfighters.
- Blind Spot: Another staple of large Imperial destroyers, the Eradicator doesn't have a lot of weapon coverage on its rear; making it susceptible to attacks from behind.
When the Sith Empire inherited the navy of the Sith Ascendancy, they inherited a top-heavy armada of powerful battlecruisers and star destroyers; but lacked any form of dedicated cruisers or frigate classes. In the aftermath of the Battle of Mirial, a modernization program was conducted by the most talented shipwrights within the Empire at the behest of the Sith Emperor.
Their first major success came in the form of the Eradicator-class Heavy Cruiser, a six hundred meter long warship armed to the teeth.
Adopted the wedge-shaped design motif of the larger Star Destroyers, the Eradicator would serve as heavy support for the larger vessels as well as an independent operator throughout Imperial space. Though slow, it more then made up for its sluggish nature with long-range turbolasers, missile launchers, and an array of point-defense cannons coupled with a single starfighter squadron launched from its ventral hangar bay.
The hull design would later be repurposed into the Incapacitator-class Interdictor Cruiser.
