Strengths:
- The Kaleesh Warcruiser design allows the weapons, a majority of which are placed along the sides of the ships, to fire forward, and swivel around to be used as a strong broadside assault. This allows the Warcruiser to defend itself from multiple angles and sides at once.
- The Warcruiser has overlapping fields of shield protection, focused primarily on the front of the vessel. This allows the Warcruiser to charge enemy ships head on, where it can use it can then use it's broadsides to devastating effect.
Weaknesses:
- The Warcruiser, due to have extensive weapons and armour, is a very slow vessel. It is poor at performing fast turns, forcing the ship to rely on facing its opponents.
- The Warcruiser focus most of its weaponry on the front and sides of the vessel. The rear of the vessel has minimal weapon protection, and the slow maneuverability of the ship means it is slow to counter a ship that flanks it.
Description: In order to protect their territories the Kaleesh Government needed a new ship of the line. The government reached out to the Corellian Engineering Corporation to manufacture a ship to fit their needs, due to the defensive nature of the order the engineers and designers were able to cut corners on speed and manoeuvrability in exchange for increased weaponry and defences.
