STRENGTHS

• Armament: All Remorse-class Star Destroyers boast an impressive and varied armament of laser cannons, ion cannons, turbolasers and proton torpedo tubes
• Armor: The armor and deflector shields equipped on the Remorse-class Star Destroyer are perhaps some of the most durable in use throughout the entire Mahporeem Imperial Remnant
• Scrambled eggs: Though a potent combat asset in its own right, the Remorse-class Star Destroyer also excels at electronic warfare, being equipped with sensor jammers, comms jammers, IFF Confusers and a Vanish 2 Military Sensor Masking System, allowing the vessel to "mask" ships smaller than itself for limited amounts of time
• Carrier: Though it carries a relatively small combat load of starfighters and support craft, the Remorse-class Star Destroyer can still hold an impressive 120 starships within its armored hull

WEAKNESSES

• Sluggish: All Remorse-class Star Destroyers are quite slow and unmaneuverable, allowing faster, more nimble capital ships to outflank them with ease
• Armament: While it is capable of holding its own in a firefight, the Remorse-class Star Destroyer is, believe it or not, actually somewhat underarmed when facing comparably sized ships
• Scrambled eggs: The electronic warfare systems installed aboard the Remorse-class Star Destroyer can easily jam friendly sensors just as much as friendly ones if proper precautions are not taken to prevent that from happening
• Expensive: Remorse-class Star Destroyers are absurdly expensive and time consuming to produce, greatly limiting their overall production and deployment

DESCRIPTION

Over the last two years, the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant has experimented with a number of electronic warfare vessels, such as the TIE/ew, the Hyper-Jammer and most recently, the CR90-EE Corvette. However, the Imperial Remnant had never attempted to create an electronic warfare vessel the size of a Star Destroyer...until now. Using the experience and knowledge gained over the last 24 months, the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant has constructed the Remorse-class Star Destroyer, a hybrid battleship/electronic warfare vessel.

The Remorse-class Star Destroyer boasts a relatively large and impressive armament, being equipped with laser cannons, ion cannons, turbolasers and proton torpedo tubes. Its true value lies, however, not in its offensive or defensive capabilities, but rather its extensive set of electronic warfare subsystems. Each Remorse-class Star Destroyer is equipped with a variety of different systems, such as sensor jammers, comm jammers and an IFF Confuser, allowing the ship to temporarily disable enemy IFF during combat operations.

Perhaps the most impressive piece of equipment installed aboard the Remorse-class Star Destroyer is its Vanish 2 Military Sensor Masking System, a device that allows the ship to mask its presence and the presence of smaller sized vessels around it, rendering them nearly undetectable to enemy scanners. Of course, the use of all these subsystems places immense strain on the reactor of the Remorse-class Star Destroyer, meaning that its most powerful electronic warfare systems can only be used for a limited amount of time, even with the additional of an OA "Yellow Dwarf" Sun Reactor.

Furthermore, all Remorse-class Star Destroyers are rather slow, cumbersome starships, and against comparably sized vessels, are often thought to be rather underarmed overall! Coupled with the fact that the Remorse-class Star Destroyer has only been manufactured in rather small numbers, the Imperial Remnant has been hesitant to use the vessel in battle, and anytime a Remorse-class Star Destroyer is deployed, it represents a significant amount of time and resources invested by the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant.
