STRENGTHS

• Additional Auxiliaries: There are several redundant systems and measures built into the Harbinger that separate it from the typical Kaas-Class line, primarily the Droid Targeting System which not only reduces the necessary crew count but also allows for very accurate and concentrated fire that maximizes the ship's destructive potential. Additional communication and sensor systems has also enhanced its role as a command ship.
• The Force is Strong With This One: One of the main differences between the Harbinger and a typical Kaas-Class ship is that of its power system. A synthetic Kyber lattice system powers the entire vessel and enhances its weaponry to be even more potent and destructive, allowing for the vessel to operate at the peak of its capabilities at all times. Any Force Users aboard the ship will also be somewhat stronger given the presence of the Kyber crystals.

WEAKNESSES

• Hangar Deficiency: While the Kaas-Class boasts an impressive arsenal and respectable battle capabilities, it has a noticeably lacking fighter compliment. The vessel sports a fairly minor hangar in terms of size and positioning, being a single large bay at the bottom. This hinderance not only extends to a lack of starfighter housing and deployment capability but also hinders more auxiliary tasks such as planetary invasion.
• One of a Kind: While based on the Kaas-Class, the Harbinger does feature quite a few features that are unique compared it its mainline siblings and as such maintenance and repairs are more complicated. Especially regarding the power system and its unorthodox construction, most fleet tenders and even dedicated shipyards simply aren't able to fully account for its needs. Additionally, while not a traditional method of sensor detection, the use of the Kyber power system means that Force Sensitives can detect the vessel itself which can spoil ambushes or other surprise maneuvers.

DESCRIPTION
The Kaas-Class Star Destroyer line was still fresh and in progress when the need for a dedicated flagship became something of interest to the engineers of Wonosa and the SDW. While Darth Strosius Himself had been on many ships of varying size and purpose over the years, He had never taken one in particular for a command vessel aside from the Indomitable Star Destroyer and even then that one had been relegated almost entirely to defense. Still, the Indomitable and its modifications did serve as a starting point of sorts for the flagship that would be crafted for the Prophet of Bogan.

The Harbinger of Absolution would initially be planned as a simply heavier armored and more sophisticated command variant of the Kaas-Class, being slightly larger to account for additional armor plating as well as a slightly larger Hangar for logistical purposes. Droid targeting systems would also be integrated into the vessel to provide better accuracy and allow for a lower crew requirement, something that had been a favorite of Darth Strosius in terms of design philosophy across a few other ships in their arsenal.

When Darth Strosius learned of the project He would order three modifications be made that would truly set the Harbinger apart from its peers. First of all the entire ship, rather than being powered by a more traditional reactor or system, would be fueled and strengthen by a large scale Synthetic Kyber Power system which would make for a somewhat volatile but exceptionally potent power source that gave the vessel a bit of extra firepower. Firepower which would be further enhanced with the addition of prototype Orbital Autocannons based off of salvaged schematics. These cannons would be able to not only bombard planetary enemies with a greater destructive force but could also rend unshielded hulls apart in a few shots.

Finally some relatively minor modifications to crew quarters and the addition of a custom HoloNet Relay would give the flagship a secondary purpose as a center of Wonosan faith. A chapel was built as well as a meditation chamber for Darth Strosius Himself and His Sith followers, with the HoloNet Relay being able to hijack local system relays to instead broadcast Wonosan messages of faith and provocative propaganda.
