- Fight Fire with Fire - Designed with the intention of creating a counter-balance to similar ships utilized by the Galaxy's Imperial factions, the Incandescent Truth features a vast array of firepower, along with a large number of ion cannons and point defence weaponry, allowing it to excel in fleet engagements, allowing it to hold its own even when surrounded by a handful of smaller frigates. Further based on former Imperial designs and other major modern capital ships, the Incandescent Truth utilizes a proton beam cannon, too weak to destroy celestial bodies, the beam is capable of heavily damaging other capital ships, and destroying smaller cruisers with full-powered shots.
- Learn From Their Mistakes - With a reasonable number of Ion Cannons, the Incandescent Truth excels at taking down shielding and other crucial ship systems, allowing them to be weak and exposed before the proton-beam cannon can be utilized. Similarly, the ship's Proton Beam Cannon is Ventral and Retractable into the ship, to protect it from damage.
- Hole in the Heart - To make room for the ship's Retractable Proton Beam Cannon, considerable room on the Star Defender's Ventral side had to be removed to accompany the weapon, including its primary hangar bay, as such - it relies on its port and starboard hangar bays primarily, and has a reduced compliment of deployable ships as a result.
- Hail Mary - Firing the ship's Proton Beam at full power draws an incredible amount of strength from the Incandescent Truth's other systems, draining shields, weapons and engines. As a result, the ship is often left exposed to counter-attacks after it fires at full power.
- Fire Rate - The time that the Incandescent Truth 's proton beam cannon takes to deploy and fire is significant. The majority of the time is taken up by the deployment of the weapon itself, considering the fact it is retractable. For a 'single reactor ignition' the ship takes four minutes to deploy, fire, and retract the weapon. For a 'full power ignition' the ship takes twelve minutes to do the same. In this time, the ship can acquire a precise lock on the target, but the weapon itself and a section of the ship's internal structure is exposed to attack, as one of the ship's weaker areas.
- Slow Mover - As is common among ships of the same class as the Incandescent Truth, it has a below-average maneuverability, and is slow comparatively to many other star destroyers and star defenders.
In the waning years of the Cold War, the Galactic Alliance saw the rapid increase of aggressive advances made by Imperial Powers. Realizing that war was gradually becoming inevitable, a combined operation conducted by the SIS and the Alliance's Military R&D Divisions conducted research into old archives, and the designs of other Imperial capital ships, to create a new Alliance capital ship capable of standing up to Imperial developments. Eventually, the design for the Incandescent Truth was conceived, and the Galactic Alliance worked in tandem with a section of SoroSuub Corporation to develop the starship in secret. With the operation spearheaded by an Alliance scientist known as Arvil Velhan, the ship was developed alongside a retractable proton-beam cannon which would serve as its primary armament.
The base model of the ship, which had been classed as the Potentate-class Star Defender appeared as a combination of Mon Calamari and Imperial designs, utilizing the best of both to create a new breed of star defender. Utilizing the sources of kyber crystals the GA had at its disposal from worlds such as Tython, Lothal and Devaron, the Galactic Alliance was able to design the proton-beam to be sufficiently strong in tandem with the star destroyer, combining both into the fearsome capital ship it is today. Shortly after the ship's completion however, Arvil Velhan was killed in a suspected Imperial raid, and his designs destroyed, ensuring that the proton beam could not be replicated or mass-produced in any manner, but the complete weapon remained aboard the Incandescent Truth.
The newly-minted and selected Jedi General Aryn Teth was eventually chosen to take the Incandescent Truth as his flagship, and he began to utilize the ship to clear pirates and local threats out of GA territory. Thus far the ship remains one of the most powerful capital ships in the GA's fleet, and serves as the progenitor to the Potentate-class Star Defender line.
NOTE: PCs may decide if the Proton-Beam hits their ships, and the extent of damage. This rule works identically to the GE's 'Silencer'
