STRENGTHS

• Up Close and Personal: The Krajoti are designed to serve as frontline assault ships and boarding vessels, able to weave between larger capital ships and deliver respectable damage then turn about to face or maneuver around any reprisals. They are outfitted with several methods of boarding vessels and stations which give them an extra utility aside from just fire support, able to ferry a fair amount of troops or even simple passengers and personnel from one place to another. Their deadly duty is even offset through the usage of droid brain systems which keeps crew requirements low and allows them to be deployed and utilized by smaller and less well staffed fleets or task forces without additional manpower needed to crew them.

WEAKNESSES

• Frontal Assault: While the Krajoti does boast additional armor plating and shielding for its size, giving them formidable durability and resilience, this is largely concentrated on the front side of the vessel. Along the flanks and other sides of the ship the shielding and hull are more alike standard corvettes of their size and frontline intent, making them vulnerable to any attacks there. They are fast and maneuverable in order to account for this however their boarding actions will understandably leave them rather exposed until their troops are fully offloaded which does necessitate caution on their part.

DESCRIPTION
Boarding actions and rapid yet limited engagements were by and the large the first realm of combat that the Order of Wonosa ever participated in. By necessity alone they had to capture all that they could in terms of naval assets, using their limited manpower in place of their even more limited ships. A cycle of using stolen and scavenged vessels to acquire even more stolen and scavenged vessels which would inevitably fall into useless states due to a mixture of irreparable damage and inability to perform proper upkeep and maintenance due to lacking resources and manufacturing.

When the Wonosans did begin to produce their own vessels though these scavenged ships were still around in enough numbers to be useful, as they didn't have the infrastructure capable of simply scrapping them altogether and making new ships from them at the time. This led to these ships largely being used as boarding craft and fodder, dangerous missions which saw them decommissioned or destroyed and thus freed up more space for proper ships to slot into their forces.

However the need for dedicated boarding craft only became more and more apparent as a result of these now lacking vessels which had once served in such roles. To mitigate this they often made modifications of their already designed and produced frigate and corvette models but as of late these methods had proven to be unsatisfactory and inefficient to the point of necessitating change. A change that would come in the form of the Krajoti, named for the Sith word for 'bleed' as that would be the vessel's designated purpose and intent. To bleed the enemies of the Sith, although first and foremost the enemies of the Order of Wonosa of course.

To this end the Krajoti sports a far different design and aesthetic to the other ships in their usage and production, hearkening back to ancient Sith designs and silhouettes which have only survived to the present in the form of vague mentions and records stored in manners archaic enough that multiple translations have been necessary just to decipher them in any meaningful sense. The Krajoti above all else represents the Sith philosophy and heritage of the Order put into physical form.

Within its unique appearance though lies the telltale practical and cunning engineering of the Wonosan vessels. Outfitted not only with a droid brain which removes the need for proper crew at all, but also with an auxiliary droid targeting system meant to support both droid controlled Krajoti and those with organic crews alike to allow for the piloting of the vessel to operate even more efficiently. A variety of boarding methods have been included in the ship's arsenal as well, allowing it to make use of its limited crew requirement to maximize its potential troop delivery.

Already the Krajoti are becoming staples of the Order of Wonosa's more overt and visible fleets and task forces, oftentimes the first vessels that their foes and future recruits alike will see whenever a force emerges from hyperspace or from their ambush hiding places. An intentional usage of course. Meant to inspire and spread the Sith revival that the Order have been cultivating amongst their ranks and civilian sectors into their foes in an undeniable physical manifestation.
