The Grievous-class Star Destroyer is a command ship designed to be just as iconic, and deadly, as the Legendary General for which it is named. Devised by the top designers of Druckenwell Shipyards, it is the apex of the Confederacy's engineering capabilities and ingenuity. Aesthetically speaking, the Grievous-class Star Destroyer resembles the Separatist Star Destroyer that was utilized during the Clone Wars era; although updated to the highest degree. The inspiration for this design was derived from schematics obtained during the Confederacy's militant venture to Pzob. To begin, the vessel reaps the benefits of construction within the Druckenwell Shipyards; in particular, the method by which the engineers of Druckenwell construct the hulls of capital ships. The ship's frame is composed entirely of an alloy composed of Durasteel, Turadium, and Quadranium; with the same metal being used for the hull as well.
The plating upon the Grievous-class Star Destroyer's hull is also composed of this alloy. In particular, the entirety of the plating is doubled up in order to maximize endurance in the event of shield droppage. Overall, the vessel can take an impressive sum of punishment from turbolaser fire, or other ordnance, in the event of shield droppage during a battle. On another note, just as the Grievous-class Star Destroyer is adequately-equipped to handle punishment defensively; it is also equipped in order to dish out punishment offensively. As has become the signature of the naval vessels of the Confederacy, the vessel sports an impressive assortment of cannons which allow it to effectively combat a variety of ships, at a variety of ranges.
While the ship, as a whole, is a behemoth in terms of firepower, it lacks severely in terms of starfighter complement. It is for this reason that the ship is sleighted to be deployed alongside supplementary, escort vessels or carriers; in order to make up for this lack of starfighter support. However, as a whole, the Grievous-class Star Destroyer is poised to be an iconic addition to the Confederacy of Independent Systems' naval forces; and is a worthy recipient of the legendary name bestowed upon it.
