STANDARD FEATURES
- Standard Features
ADVANCED SYSTEMS
- Back-Up Spin Gravity Array
- Slave-Rigged Weapons Systems
- Advanced Targeting Array
Strengths:
- Stalwart Defense: Powerful redundant shields
- Advanced Communication and Sensor Suites: Allowed for extremely long distance scanning and communication
- Tug Only: Can manuever slightly, but can only truly be moved to precise locations via tug as the Golan Star Fortress had no thrusters for designed forward momentum.
- Launch Bays: Particle Shields needed to be deactivated around hangars to allow for ships to move in and out.
- Cityscape: The group of towers, sensors, scanners and communication dishes that made up the cityscape on the Star Fortress' crown if targeted could blind many of the station's sensors and scanners or even block all standard communications.
Commissioned at some point by the Republic prior to the Gulag Plague the Golan Star Fortress were powerful stations designed not as an offensive tool like its cousin, but instead with defense in mind. Massive in size and scope, the Star Fortress was equipped with a vast array of weaponry. Dozens of heavy turbolaser batteries, long range turbolasers, and proton torpedo tubes made up the bulk of its anti-capital ship weaponry while point defense missile octets rounded out its anti-starfighter capabilities. The most distinctive feature of the station were its two wedge shaped appendages which held a multitude of hangars, garages, and launch bays for the dozens of starfighters and transports it housed. While the Star Fortress only held eight launch bays, a complex system of moving platforms could quickly and efficiently move starfighters into maintenance bays deeper within the wedges. Several smaller hangars dotted the main structure of the Star Fortress for civilian and military shuttles and transports, some of which were large enough to easily house corvettes and bulk freighters.
Defensively the Star Fortress line outclassed previous Golan Defense Platforms. With a thick hull and powerful redundant, overlapping shields it easily withstood sieges and assaults from multiple vessels. It boasted both ray and particle shields in its deflector shield suite, however for ships to be able to fly into the hangar bays areas of the particle shield needed to be lowered. A myriad of long range sensors and powerful scanners adorned the Star Fortress' bulk, forming a cityscape of towers and sensor dishes. Communications suites and holonet trancievers were located in the sensor bundle as well, making it one of the most glaring targets on the station.
Ahead of its time and capeable of standing up to entire flotillas on its own, the Golan Star Fortress line would continue until the Gulag plague. A revived Golan Arms would see to it that the station would return to the Galaxy with a myriad of upgrades, including advanced slave-rigging to aid in focused fire, upgraded targeting systems, and powerful tractor beams. While the market was saturated with competition, the Star Fortress line would be a strong asset to any planetary defense force.
