- Various Systems
- Versatile Warship - Its battle capabilities are more than decent, offering strong weaponry to engage enemy ships or installations, a rigid structure with formidable passive armour and a wing of starfighters to engage enemy strike craft.
- Ground Support - Not only is the new Harrower designed to take on other ships, but also to support ground troops with sufficient space for troops and their equipment.
- Agility - The new Harrower is everything but maneuverable, making it not ideal to fight outside of closed battlelines or trying to chase smaller, more nimble ships.
- Exposed Rear - As all triangle-designs, the Harrower V suffers from a critical weakspot where its engines are.
A design not only giving direction for millennia to come in warship design, but also one which strikes fear into the hearts of its enemies. The Harrower was over the skies of Coruscant, it conquered half the Galaxy and was the backbone of a blitzkrieg campaign which nearly ended the Republic. It saw further iterations in recent decades and its triangular shape was the foundation for what would be the most iconic of Star Destroyers. Yet neither really caught on in potency and fame as the original Harrower-class Dreadnought.
The Harrower V with its Bactranate-Variant is not only a simple redesign, but an improvement, an overhaul and a re-introduction to what made the Sith once feared and dreaded, what made them the military superpower for centuries. Combating other ships, transporting troops, supporting ground invasions. The Harrower did and does all these duties because it was designed to do them.
The Sith Armada is being rebuilt and it is preparing to launch itself at the Galaxy once more.
