SPECIAL FEATURES
- SORCE Cannons - all turbolasers utilize SORCE technology.
- Alpha Strike: While each weapon on the Vindicator is turreted, they are ideally situated for firing forward, enabling the cruiser to concentrate every single turret on a single point in an "alpha strike" to maximize firepower.
- Aft Coverage: The Vindicator's arsenal is suited for firing forward, not backward. Consequently, the rear of the vessel is vulnerable.
The Vindicator II-class is a patrol cruiser, designed to roam entire sectors hunting for threats to the empire. Well-rounded, but slightly unwieldy, the Vindicator's heavy armament give it a consummate advantage in going toe-to-toe with vessels of similar size. In most respects, the ship is a miniaturized star destroyer and includes a large, ventral hangar.
Although designated as a patrol cruiser, the warship is capable of fulfilling a wide range of duties.
This vessel is part of the 7th Fleet Initiative, which aims to furnish the Galactic Empire with a series of modern, combat ready warships to better protect Imperial interests.
Perhaps most noticeable about 7th Fleet Initiative designs is their incorporation of SORCE turbolasers, purchased from Silk Holdings. The SORCE model allows ships to consolidate their barrel count while maximizing energy output. Meaning that while 7th Fleet designs might sport fewer guns overall than contemporaries, their broadsides do no less damage.
