Description: The Mon Orishma is the apex of MOn Calamari engineering. Built around the new MC79 Pocket Destroyer frame, the MOn ORishma is the prototype for the ambitious new line to be produced at the Directorates Mon Calamari yard at Hast.
Design: As the first of the Directorates Pocket program the vessel utilizes modern construction techniques and Mon Calamari advanced systems to minimize the size of the ship while retaining the power of a much larger vessel. The class while formidable has a hefty price tag. Each ship, while smaller than their counterparts cost twice as much to produce. The production of these vessels will only be undertaken at the Hast yard and in limited numbers, each vessel different than the other. This technique goes back to the earliest days of Mon Calamari shipbuilding and has been reinstated for the new 79 line. The Mon Orishma is a true command and control destroyer with various systems for communications, targeting, fleet control, and battle support.
Support Capabilities: Utilizing a powerful suite of countermeasures and electronic warfare systems. These include communications, and sensor jamming modules, as well as offensive beam based target jamming technology. From her hanger, advanced reconnaissance drones and fighters can be launched to support both fighter and fleet-based engagement. These attack craft can assist fighter wings and fleet squadrons with real-time data over laser data grids with a reliable transmission in mild jamming. while not one hundred percent effective in heavy jamming the systems on these attack craft can make the difference when needed.
Offensive Systems: The Mon Orishma is categorized by the MOn Calamari Engineers as a Pocket Destroyer. While her hull is twenty percent smaller than most light destroyers the MOn Orishma packs as much punch as these larger vessels. In the last decade fleet engagements have seen advancement and utilization of very long range weaponry. The practice of closing and engaging at medium to close ranges had become less practiced and long-range standoffs have become the standard in modern fleet engagements. Because of this Mon Calamari engineers have installed a large number of long-range weapon systems on the vessel. These systems include plasma-based projectors which fire plasma projectiles at near light speed. and long-range energy based weapons.
Heavy Warhead launchers capable of launching various types of missiles and torpedos are placed on the forward prow of the vessel for launching massive barrages of unguided warheads as well as less powerful guided and smart missiles. These standard range launchers are used once the enemy has moved into range as an alpha strike weapon. The reload time on these warhead launchers are slow unless used in smaller groups. A full barrage from the launchers takes time to reload.
Standard ranged weaponry is installed over the ships hull with a heavy concentration on the forward prow. This gives theMon Orishma far greater firepower towards the forward arch than most other Mon Calamari vessels of the past. These weapons include fast firing turbolasers and ion cannons. The practice of smaller faster firing weapons is also a return to old Mon Calamari design practices.
Defensive Systems: Defensively the Mon Orishma is a Baston of redundant systems, advanced armor, and multiple redundancy shielding. Built to stand off against any ship needed for long enough as needed. Her shielding and systems are built on a practice which goes back to the beginning of Mon Calamari Shipbuilding. The Mon Calamari layer upon layer of shielding is known throughout the galaxy and for good reason. For nearly five thousand years the Mon Calamari have been at the forefront of shield technology in the Corsica galaxy. Utilizing their unique vision and understanding of shielding the Mon Calamari been the leader in defensive and shielding systems. The Mon Orishma is a crown on the head of Mon Calamari Starship Shielding. Her quad redundancy shielding is based on the standard Quadra system but adds a layer of molecular shielding to improve the power requirements of the powerful shield systems. This layer does not improve the operation characteristics of the shielding and only works to absorb power from incoming energy and use it to power the shield projectors.
Advanced ablative armor systems strengthen the vessels hull and give the ship far better protection than standard armor. While this system aids in the defense of the vessel its power draw is substantial. The armor can draw power beyond its limit if enough concentrated fire is directed at it causing a blackout in non-combat related systems when in battle.
To make up for this the Mon Calamari have opted for an all Mon Calamari crew and filled most of the vessel with purified water. This both acts to aiding the power requirements of life support and as a secondary defensive measure. While most of the ships hollow parts are filled with water the hangar access, living, recreation areas for non-aquatic beings are located in the center of the massive hull.
Complement: The Mon Orishma is a massive vessel but much smaller than other Light Destroyers.WHile designers struggled with the design and placement of systems to maximize space the order from Admiral Reshmar to include three squadrons of attack craft was never contended. To make up for the room needed by the additional craft weapons systems were uninstalled giving the ship a lighter armament and allowing the space. A small assault force is included in the vessels complement for rapid deployment and covert missions as well as battleground logistics, command, and medical operations.
