STRENGTHS
The Mother of all Railguns: The forward mounted railgun is a massive specialized weapon capable of shooting two meter long rods of tungsten at incredible speeds. These rods come in a variety of types. 'Drill' which is carved to resemble a drill bit and is given a 'spin' to increase its chance of burrowing through armor similarly to its namesake. 'Torpedo' which has several proton warheads stuck to it allowing it to detonate after it has burrowed into the enemy's hull. And last but not least 'Brute' which is significantly larger with a flared head hoping to punch as big of a hole as possible through lighter armor. The Railgun is however limited as it is only capable of firing directly in front of the ship.
Scramblers: The Scramblers on the Heart of Candor allow it to remain unseen from great distances from basic scanners. It is still visible and high tech scanners usually recognize the oddity if not being able to identify the ship exactly.
Experimental Jack of all Trades: The Redfield-Class was designed to be an all around cruiser capable of operating deep within enemy space on hit and run operations and being able to defend itself effectively against larger ships.
WEAKNESSES
Unintended Addition: The Railgun was not a part of the original design of the ship and is unable to be commanded from the bridge. Instead it requires its own command center to operate meaning should that command center be destroyed, or captured by a boarding party, the railgun will be inoperable to the captain.
Frequent Power Problems: The Railgun as well as a few smaller additions to the ship cause it to have frequent power problems. Firing the railgun too many times or being in hyperspace for too long will cause the ship to lose power until the systems can be fixed.
A Little Too Hidden: The Scramblers may be effective at long range, but in closer range (say orbiting around the same planet) the Scramblers are a little too effective and the blank space of absolutely nothing (no cosmic radiation, no light, etc) can usually be picked up by any military grade or advanced scanners alerting potential victims to a trap.
DESCRIPTION
The Redfield-class Cruiser was to be one of the new mass sold products of Correllian Engineering yet when Mago Voss and his pirates got ahold of it they were careful to destroy all data (and even persons) related to the development of the ship to give them an edge against those who had no idea what the ship was capable of. Now it is an intimidating cruiser painted with pirate insignia and battle scars not yet repaired which marauds shipping lanes and asteroid refineries across the galaxy. The Railgun and its respective command center welded to the front of the Heart of Candor (an ironic name Mago Voss adores) are Mago Voss' own addition to the design, needing a simple tool to disable civilian vessels from long range before they have the opportunity to call for help. However it has seen its fair use in combat and prove an invaluable asset dozens of times.
