ADVANCED SYSTEMS
- Highly automated Navigational computer and targeting systems
- ZEUS AI Droid Brain coupled to core systems for maximum efficiency and minimum crew requirements.
- R.I.A.R. installed for maximum energy output in regards to shielding.
- Double docking clamps underneath ship, allowing for docking of up to two Frigate sized vessels
- Carbonite coating grants the ship easier atmospheric descent, reducing the heat and preventing warping of the plating.
- Four forward facing launchtubes for fast deployment of Starfighters without the need for initial lift off.
- Highly automated: Due to high automation, this ship needs far less crew than comparable ships
- Extremely large hangar space when compared to other ships in its class.
- Very high defense: the ship uses a multitude of shields to protect its cargo until its deployment.
- Neuranium lining of the ship prevents outside hacking of the vessel, macking the slicing a very risky undertaking.
- Weak against EMP: high automation comes at the cost of having a lot more electronics that can be targeted or shut down with devastating results.
- Very low mobility: as a flying fortress, there is no need for speed.
- Very low maneuvrability: As the ship itself is less important than its cargo, as a floating fortress, it won't see much action in terms of tactical maneuvring during engagements.
Seeing the need of a more effective mobile fortress, the Revenant class was designed to be an extremely defensive forward base. The intent was to build a ship which could at the very least be capable of carrying enough troops and material for a full scale planetary invasion or to break open a blockade by virtue of overwhelming numbers of starfighters in its hull. Aided by the ZEUS droid brain, the ship has been designed with maximum field efficiency in mind and to effectively cut down the amount of operative crew necessary for the vessel. The fact that the Repulsor Ion Arc Reactor, R.I.A.R. for short, has been installed also grants the ship near limitless energy to fully focus solely on its defensive capabilities without impeding its general propulsion and allowing for a still rather impressive hyperdrive speed for a ship its size.
