[SIZE=9pt]SPECIAL FEATURES[/SIZE]
Rather than have a larger artillery vessel, Central Command wanted a sizeable vessel. One which would be large enough to crush those who dare to attack it, but small enough to be able to use larger command ships as cover. The Mandator-X was born from these stipulations.
By no means a fast vessel, the Mandator-X is surprisingly agile, with it being blessed with extra engine capability, designed to have it avoid fire. Although not fast, the Mandator has a low speed regarding the speed of vessels of its size, with its engines used primarily to be able to shift quickly to attack new targets, or to alternatively avoid counter fire.[/SIZE]
The vessels main offensive capability lies with its dual Wrath-class artillery guns. Weapons designed to simultaneously rupture the shields of opposing vessels, before slamming them with a physically massive turbolaser slug. The powerful blast is unlike missiles, or hypervelocity rounds used by other vessels of its size, which can be deflected by well placed gravity wells or tractor beams.
The Mandator-x is designed to sit at the edge of battlefields, where it provides support fire for the First Imperial and allied vessels currently engaged in battle.

[SIZE=9pt]SPECIAL FEATURES[/SIZE]
- Wrath-Class Batteries: The Mandator-X’s main weapons are its dual Wrath-class artillery batteries. Able to fire blasts the size of small freighters, which combine the power of ion weaponry and turbolaser fire, the Wrath-class sits as one of the most powerful anti-capital ship weapons currently in production.
- Bastion-Class Missile Defence System: A vessel such as the Mandator-x is vulnerable to enemy fighters. And because of that, it uses the Bastion-missile defence system. Designed to destroy oncoming projectiles such as missiles and torpedoes, the Bastion-class acts as a shield to the Wrath-class’ sword.
- +Jack Be Nimble: The Mandator-X is designed to be manouverable, able to avoid long range and bombadments which may otherwise interfere with its operation.
- +Heavy Hitter: The Mandator-X hits well above her weight thanks to her double Wrath-Class batteries.
- +Sniping’s A Good Job: The Mandator-x is designed to be deployed at the edge of engagement zones, and to provide withering fire to enemies, before the main fleet obliterates the remnants. Its targeting computer allows for precise shots to be levelled at those who oppose the First Order.
- -Defanged: The Mandator-X, without her larger guns, which are substantial targets, sits without any real offensive measures. To destroy those two batteries would de-tooth it of a majority of its offensive capability, and leave it without use or purpose on the battlefield. With not enough guns to be an assault cruiser, and not enough hangar space to be a carrier, the cruiser would be robbed of its advantage.
- -Up In My Grill: The Mandator-X, unlike other vessels of the First Order Navy is not designed to slug it out with other ships. She prefers lone range exchanges of fire. Any large vessel of significant offensive capability could probably destroy her easily.
- -They Came From Behind!: The Mandator-x is designed, like most destroyers, to be attacked from the front, and to solely face threats from there. It is woefully ill-equipped to deal with the possibility of flanking manoeuvre.
