STRENGTHS:
- Excellent stealth capabilities combine together with uncanny agility and terrific speeds to make this one of the fastest, sneakiest, and most nimble ships going. If you plan on catching this thing, you might want to make other plans. Only the fasted ships and most potent military-grade sensors have any real hope of running this ship down or even noticing it.
- Fearsome weapons, though few in number, offer devastating hitting power, and taken with the increased shielding, the Obsidian Star is much tougher and stronger in a fight than standard issue Destriers.
- Despite its impressive armament, it still lacks the firepower and combat stamina to last too long in a prolonged battle with most larger, more heavily-armed vessels. So while it can handle a brief dust-up, if things start getting turned up, a wise captain would be setting a course out of there!
- The many advanced and somewhat rare systems included in this design are not easily repaired from serious damage by your average techs or repair droids, and if too badly damaged, repairs of that magnitude will require retreat to dedicated facilities with specialized equipment, making battlefield repairs nearly out of the question.
For the leader of the Knights Obsidian, Visanj envisioned something a bit more ‘special’ than just the standard Destrier-class Courier, and thus the Obsidian Star was born.
Made with powerful hull and terrific shield systems, the Obsidian Star has much more defensive capabilities than the average courier ship, able to withstand inordinate amounts of punishment and continue to operate as normal. Then, additional weaponry was added, sacrificing cargo space to make room, and giving this ship the kind of firepower than enables a captain to hold their ground against an entire swarm of starfighters, flotillas of tough patrol ships, or even to bite back against a frigate or cruiser with some serious teeth if needed. And as far as speed goes, this ship has it in spades. Powerful gypsy engines make travel fast and smooth, and can enable acrobatic maneuvering unheard of in other ships.
Couple this with the full-course luxury and styling you have come to expect from its creator, from expensive laroon wood paneling to steaming hot tubs and more, and the Obsidian Star is easily the ideal chariot for the Confederacy’s First Knight.
