Intent: To provide the reborn Chiss Ascendancy with a capable vessel to provide for both defensive and offensive capabilities. Allowing not only for the Chiss Ascendancy to rebuild to their previous prestige and glory; also maintaining the security and safety of the rebuilding of said prestige and glory. It is to be used by both the Chiss Ascendancy Defensive Fleet in their operations throughout the territory of the new Chiss Ascendancy to defend their holdings, as well as to be utilized by the Chiss Ascendancy Vanguard Phalanx in their operations to secure new territories for the reborn Chiss Ascendancy.
Furthermore it will be used as the default vessel of the Chiss Ascendancy; as it will be expected to be the vessel that will reestablish contact of the Chiss Ascendancy with the rest of the Galaxy. To this end it will be placed at the forefront of the reborn Chiss Ascendancy, openly establishing its flexibility in that it will be used to fulfill a multitude of roles and capabilities.
Development Thread: No
Manufacturer: Copero Shipyards
Model: Nuruodo class Star Destroyer
Affiliation: Chiss Ascendancy
Modularity: Due in part to the vessel requiring to fulfill multiple roles and positions within the reborn Chiss Ascendancy, the vessel is to be constructed with the capability of being highly modular. Meaning that it is outfitted with a number of hard points for the inclusion of multiple weapon systems, as well as secondary operating systems to provide for a vast range of operation duties. From hard hitting warship with armored diplomacy vessel; the Nuruodo class Star Destroyer is to be the crown of the reborn Chiss Ascendancy.
Both internally and externally the vessel is equipped and designed to be modified as a situation or a need arises in which the stock model would otherwise be incapable of performing the specific task.
Internally the vessel is capable of being refitted to fulfill a manner of unarmed combat roles. This is accomplished by none load bearing or structural support walls being removable to open up space for larger treatment hospitals and ports to install bacta tanks, medical bays, medical droids and various other medical supports. This same capability can be used to either create larger hanger space to turn the vessel into a dedicated carrier or used to create a heavily armored and armed supply vessel.
Externally the vessel has a number of hardpoints which the weapon systems of the vessel can be removed and new weapons installed. This allows the vessel to have a series of other weapons installed as needed from Heavy turbolasers and Proton Torpedo Launchers to Point defense laser cannons and tractor bream projectors allowing the vessel to fulfill various roles. From search and recover, anti-fighter and anti-capital to mid-line warships.
Production: Minor
Material: The primary material used in the construction is a heavy Durasteel plating with a more flexible Durasteel-Aluminum alloy internal skeletal structure to give the vessel a certain give to spread out kinetic force throughout the ship rather than becoming rigid where struck. The engines and engine deck are much more heavily armored with a Durasteel-Titanium alloy providing for double armor to ensure the engines continue operating even under heavy fire as it would take a large concentrated force to cripple the engine banks. Wrapping it up is a pressed three layer transparisteel view screens reinforced internally with a plasteel binding; with the addition of durasteel shutters should a view screen be pierced or broken.
Description:
The Nuruodo class Star Destroyer is the first in a new line of warships to aid in the reestablishment of the Chiss Ascendancy. The vessel itself is designed to fit into numerous roles as it is needed to do so by the ability to be highly modular. In this way it is capable of being produced in a number of variations and refitted and supplied to fit in those roles. Thus the vessel is a Jack of all Trades and a Master of none. There in lies its primary weakness in that while it has very little weaknesses, it truly does not have any set strengths or specialties.
Unlike previous Star Destroyers before it, or vessels that are designed for a specific mission role or niche, the Nuruodo is not designed for a specialty niche. This coupled with its modular ability can cause many to over rely on the vessel and forget to focus on more specialized vessel designs to ensure a fully rounded out fleet. However when properly outfitted and coupled with other vessels, the Nuruodo class serves as a strong middle field Star Destroyer capable of covering nearby vessels and serving in an "every man" capacity.
