STRENGTHS

Military Grade: From the hull frame to the plating to the expanded weapons systems, shields and internal components, the Super Gozanti, as it is commonly called, is no longer a civilian ship. Every system and component have been buffed and expanded to military grade performance and dependability.

Gravity Well: Is equipped with a split dome gravity well projector allowing the ship to pull ships out of or prevent ships from activating hyperdrives.

Proven Design: Built as an enlarged, mil-spec Gozanti-class cruiser, this class of vessel combines the reliability of a time-tested starship design with accessible, standard systems, with the ruggedness of a true warship making it economical to operate, crew, and maintain.

Reduced Crew Requirements: Many routine ship functions have been partially automated to reduce the required crew size, lowering life-support demand, training costs, and operational logistics while maintaining combat effectiveness.

WEAKNESSES

Maneuverability and Speed: Despite increases in power generation and propulsion, the increased size and weight of the newly designed craft have negated any benefits that such improvements would have normally occurred. Its speed and maneuverability are decidedly average.

Gravity Well: The split dome modification requires that the ship must be stationary whenever the gravity well projector is active.

Bulky: The ship does not possess a reduced attack profile. Every elevation provides a large target box for incoming fire.

Limited End-On Firepower: Unlike most Mandalorian designed ships, the Super Gozanti does not have a strong forward firing arc. Most of the ship's guns are place to fire broadside and thus are less able to concentrate fire and forcing the ship to expose its large flanks to bring all guns into play.

Automation Vulnerability: Automation come with the cost of making the ship more susceptible to advanced slicing, electronic warfare, and strikes from Ion-based and EMP-based weaponry.

DESCRIPTION

The Gozanti 'Ori'-Class War Cruiser or Super Gozanti-Class Cruiser as it is often called, is a rugged, military-grade adaptation of the time-tested CEC design, structurally enlarged and optimized to serve as the primary anchor vessel for the Mandalorian Guard Patrol. Engineered for maximum operational efficiency, the ship utilizes widely available, standard starship systems, ensuring it remains economical to operate, crew, and maintain even during prolonged deployments. Despite its cost-effective foundation, the cruiser boasts heavy military-grade armor plating and a formidable weapons array, granting it the tactical versatility to shift seamlessly between roles as a task force anchor, fleet escort, or high-stakes interdiction vessel. Equipped with a dedicated hangar capable of launching two squadrons of supporting starfighters, this flexible warship is perfectly suited for long-range customs patrols, sector defense, and aggressive anti-piracy operations in hostile territory. Designed and constructed by Mando-De'Loren Multi Atmospherics who took the popular platform of the commercial Gozanti class cruiser and as an alternative to modifying it for military use, decided to overhaul it completely and augment the design from the ground up as a robust military vessel. The result being the Gozanti 'Ori'-Class War Cruiser, Ori meaning super in Mando'a.

This MDL design prioritizes survivability, damage output, and operational flexibility. Its frame is military grade doonium, the hull is comprehensively clad with carbon-durasteel armor, and layered shielding, allowing it to survive engagements that would cripple civilian-grade cruisers of less resilient construction. Combined with a damage-reduction system and redundant shield generators, the ship is optimized to remain intact, in a battleline, long enough to overcome or board its foes. Advanced automation and modern mil-spec internals allow space for an internal hanger bay and reduce crew needs, while the OA "Yellow Dwarf" sun reactor easily provides the power needed to run the improved shields, increased weaponry and other power-hungry military systems.

While not as elegant and refined as other ships of its class that have been specifically designed to function as heavy cruisers, the Gozanti makes up for it by combining a strong mix of firepower, mobility, and survivability into a spacious easily maintained hull that can execute all the traditional tasks of its finer pedigreed brethren with equal aplomb.
