STRENGTHS
- Broadside Ship: Like the Victory I/II of old, this latest refit is equipped with a large number of missile tubes capable of fitting Assault Concussion Missiles and other similarly-powerful weapons. Whilst they are short ranged, up close they are devastatingly powerful.
- Pocket Star Destroyer: This is the core concept behind the ship, and it manages to still succeed at it. Whether it be the heavy firepower, escorting squadrons, or assault troops, the Victory can handle nearly any encounter (except a high-speed chase).
WEAKNESSES
- Sluggish: The Victory-class has never been a fast ship, and this latest refit is no different.
- Knife Tang: Fire Arcs. The usual issue with the dagger shape.
DESCRIPTION
Similar in concept to the ISD Refit, the Project 48623X program is another plan to bring the First Order back up to strength by refitting old vessels. The biggest difference is that it now supports a Hypermatter Reactor to enable the inclusion of significantly more powerful weapons than the old variant, and significantly improved defenses via the modern First Order armoring and shield technology. It's biggest drawback, besides the slow speed, is the limited hanger space.
