STRENGTHS
- Powerful Armament: The Imperator-class is bolstered by a wide menagerie of weapon systems and gun emplacements, making it a very powerful and very lethal warship.
- Extensive Defenses: Powerful shields, a reinforced hull, and other onboard systems make the Imperator-class a tough nut to crack, and combined with its armament makes it a daunting challenge to overcome.
Independent Operator: The Imperator-class is capable of operating on long-term assignments without need for regular resupply, and thus does not need additional ships for logistical support. It does, however, need to be resupplied every six months, and must be given yearly servicing, with potential refits every five years.
Command Vessel: The extensive sensor and targeting suites make the Imperator-class ideal for hunting down enemy targets and eliminating them, but also for serving as the centre of any effective battle fleet, able to monitor large-scale engagements and co-ordinate allied efforts from the safety of the heavily-armoured vessel.
- Rear Blind Spot: Like many warships of the angular Imperial design, the Imperator-class cannot fire on any ship directly behind it.
- Bridge Tower: The Imperator-class' bridge tower serves as a glaring target for enemy vessels.
- Sloth: While powerful, the Imperator-class is a lumbering behemoth. Once it gets going it's very difficult to alter its forward trajectory.
Large Crew Complement: Due to the size and complexity of the Imperator-class, she requires a considerable number of crewmembers, in the form of naval officers, engineers, troopers, pilots and support personnel. This invariably means that there are only a limited number of the Imperator in service.
Small Hangar Size: Despite the size of the Imperator-class, they are not designed as carrier vessels, and have a far smaller complement of fighters for a ship of her size.
In the aftermath of the Sith Ascendancy's recent annexation of Obrexta sector the nascent Sith regime found itself in control of one of the wealthiest planets in all of the New Territories, Muunilinst. They used this newfound wealth to build many new fortifications across the territories they held, repairing and improving existing structures that had fallen into disrepair after the collapse of the Mandalorian Crusaders, and, most importantly, began to upgrade and expand their military.
Chiefly they started with the construction of new battlecruisers that would serve as the truest symbol of their might, and thus the Imperator-class Star Battlecruiser was conceived. Measured at two-point-eight kilometers, it is the largest Ascendancy warship to date and is bristling with state-of-the-art weapon systems and defenses.
However; due to the very nature of their design and scale they were expensive to build despite the vast quantities of wealth the Ascendancy recently possessed. Thus only a good handful were initially built and were reserved only for members of the Ascendant Circle, the ruling body of Sith Lords that comprise the upper hierarchy of the Ascendancy. It is planned that with the acquisition of more territory that more Imperator-classes will be constructed alongside any other warship the dark minds of the Ascendancy can devise.
