Description: Given known intelligence about the Galactic Empire's pocket submarines, the Silver Jedi set out to find a way to fight the Imperial pocket submarines, while reminding mindful of the need to minimize noise, given known methods of submarine warfare. As with submarines capable of diving to about 300 meters deep, the submarine is double-hulled, and the habitable area is called the pressure hull, with the hull designed to minimize the noise projected outward when the submarine is underway, especially when submerged. It can control its movements with the help of rudders, horizontal and vertical. The main armament consists of 8 heavy laser cannons modified for underwater use, arrayed in double turrets that can be retracted while the craft is underway, and four proton torpedo launchers that can be used against aircraft while surfaced. Due to the design of the proton torpedo launchers, the proton torpedoes cannot be launched while submerged. It can also be used to help in insertions of attacking forces in underwater cities, or of offshore platforms when airborne insertion is not recommended.

Due to the size of the submarine, it can carry up to 100 troops in that manner, but the Deliria is slow and ponderous. Also another flaw that is due to the magazines is that penetration of the magazines can potentially kill the sub if there are enough projectiles. Surfacing and submerging is done via underside ballasts: diving is done by means of submerging the ballasts, while the submarine surfaces by empting the ballasts by means of bilge pumps.
