(The designers did try their very best, but if this beast has a weak spot, that's where it is.)
The Resolute-class is the first of a new generation of Mandalorian fleet ships, somewhat of a rushed effort to get a hull into service for the Mandalorian Protectors, but a very capable design nontheless. The vessel is less than fancy, but rugged, and packed with armaments and defensive systems, making it a dangerous opponent in fleet combat.
This Mandalorian design differs more in aesthetic and visual appeal than in functionality from older designs. A modern though spartan command center allows a relatively skeleton crew to manage the entire ship. Redundancies and backups for backups pack the ship, making it just that much more resistant to being disabled.
The efficiency drive of the original design left very little room for excess space, or much of a hangar capacity for a ship this size. The design was intended to be pound for pound the most powerful fighting ship in the size class, so the design teams sacrificed every luxury, and using knowledge from the NSLR's Defender, took advantage of every efficiency or automated process they could add.
Mandalorian armourers and weaponsmiths crammed every scrap of power into an overdesigned protective shell, added massive propulsion systems, and then rearmoured the entire thing, before pockmarking every available inch of hull area with shield and weapon emplacements.
By installing state of the art molecular furnaces, droid manufacturing assembly lines, and production facilities, the refit design allows the vessel to replace not only its small arms, but missiles and heavy caliber ammunition as well, through intake of debris, asteroids, or any other material, which is broken down by the furnaces and repurposed at need.
This process feeds the vessel's very impressive armaments, including super-heavy mass driver cannons, capable of launching large shells at high velocity. These are even larger than the heavy mass drivers seen on other vessels in this size class, a truly devastating weapon.
Power requirements are as might be expected, and suitably astronomical. The ship cannot possibly use all her systems at once. To jump, weapons must power down. Under intense and consistent damage, shields will take power from weapons or engines. These drawbacks are a consequence of the sheer array of offensive and defensive military technology packed into this very big war ship.
