Description: A holdover from the Clone Wars, the old Munificent-class was converted to today's technology by Ringovinda StarYards. Unlike its old Clone Wars-era incarnation, it was designed for use by organic crews as much as droid crews, meaning that proper use of the waste heat is essential. Also, it corrected a design flaw of the original design, where the heavy firepower can now be deployed in all directions: the twin super-heavy turbolaser is now turreted on the underside, rather than axis-mounted, delivering the same firepower in a fraction of the space of the original, saving space for crew quarters. Also the hollowed-out original hull has been filled out in an attempt to reinforce the defenses and to enable it to carry organic passengers as well as crew. However, fitting such heavy firepower requires speed to be sacrificed even in the presence of waste heat recovery devices to power the non-combat systems. Nevertheless one of the flaws of the original model remains: the bridge tower is exposed. Since it is also expected to use as a flagship for picket fleets, the Munificent-X is also equipped with the latest tactical displays in its combat information center. Its propulsion systems include three ion drives as well as two reactors; normally one reactor can supply for most of the ship's power needs when the other is damaged. Also, in the wake of combat experience, where it was found that being too dependent on projectiles for point-defense and that the HVC had too much ammunition for its own good, the class has undergone a refit, even though it has proven serviceable in SJ service.
