The Gunray-class Star Destroyer is an exceptional vehicle produced through the collaborative efforts of Druckenwell Shipyards and a Sienar Fleet Systems engineer liberated during the Confederacy's mission to Sriluur. Named in honor of the former Viceroy of the Trade Federation, the Gunray-class Star Destroyer was designed in order to fulfill a balanced role as the Confederacy of Independent Systems' dedicated Star Destroyer. As a whole, the vessel is designed utilizing the trademark methods of construction that Druckenwell Shipyards has become renowned for. It's hull and frame are composed of a durable alloy formed through the combination of Turadium, Quadranium, and Durasteel. As with the other ships produced by the Druckenwellian design teams, this selection of metals was made so that the Gunray-class might be able to withstand punishment upon the droppage of its shields.
In terms of armament, the vessel comes equipped with a modest assortment of cannons and warhead launchers. This selection was made so that the Gunray-class might effectively engage the enemy from a variety of ranges and spearhead numerous types of operations on behalf of the Confederacy. It also carries a hangar of, primarily, droid starfighters; whose sizes are deliberately smaller than the average starfighter as to accommodate more within the hangar. Of course, fitting more into the hangar diminishes the quality of the starfighters overall; but enables swarm warfare; especially when the Gunray-class is deployed alongside other vessels in the Confederate Navy. On a similar note, the hangars of the vessel are located on the underbelly of the vessel, deliberately adding a challenge to those vessels that would attempt to breach the Gunray-class through the most obvious entrance.
Aesthetically speaking, it is noted that the Gunray-class Star Destroyer closely resembles vessels utilized by the Galactic Empire commanded by Palpatine. This is, of course, in response to the Sienar Engineer's influence on the overall project whilst working alongside the design teams at Druckenwell Shipyards. All in all, the Gunray-class Star Destroyer is a competitive, durable, and excessively capable addition to the armada of the CIS.
