ADVANCED SYSTEMS

Light's Embrace: Specially designed non-lethal crowd control generators, the Light's Embrace has two settings. A stun wave capable of incapacitating a single district of a large city, and a pacification field powerful enough enough to dampen passionate emotions in as large an area as a small city. This effect can be resisted through certain means, and both settings can only be fired once before a long recharge cycle.

Meditation Chamber: Having consulted the finest Oathsworn architects and scholars, Sanctums are designed to function as massive resonance amplifiers of the Force. Any adepts inside gain the same enhancements to their abilities that they would from a meditation chamber after only minor contemplation.

STRENGTHS
  • Combat Transport: The Sanctum-class is a large scale planetary assault dropship, capable of delivering a considerable amount of personnel or supplies from orbit even while under intense enemy fire.
  • Deployable Foothold: Sanctums aren't simply designed to drop troops off and return to base, upon landing powerful locking mechanisms are deployed which secure the assault tower in place even if struck by a larger kinetic barrage. It is equipped with manned anti-infantry and anti-aircraft emplacements which allow it to establish fire superiority across its given area of operations.
WEAKNESSES
  • Glorified Drop Pod: The Sanctum has the maneuverability of an arrow, once it is launched its not diverting course until it reaches its final pre-programmed destination. Because of its dense mass, once the transport gets going it reaches its point of no return in a very short window, meaning sudden hazards below can pose a problem.
  • Booster Cycle: Once an assault tower lands, it takes some time before its power core can annihilate enough antimatter so that the booster rockets are provided with enough fuel on re-firing to achieve escape velocity. These are not structures that can be re-positioned on a whim once launched.
DESCRIPTION

"Our time has come.
For years, we prepared. We grew stronger.
While you rested in your cradle of power, believing your people were safe and protected.
You were trusted to lead the galaxy. But you were deceived. As your faith in the Darkside has blinded you.
You assumed no force could challenge you.
And now...finally, we have returned."
A mainstay of the Lords of Lights' broader military arsenal, the Sanctum-class is a product of multiple independent Legions pooling resources to work in concert. It is brutally elegant, emblematic of typical martial Jedi creations. Designed to be launched from the holds of any capital ship with sufficient space, assault towers are armor reinforced combat troop transports which function as temporary command posts upon landing.

Fashioned with anti-personnel countermeasures throughout its exterior, Sanctums are mobile footholds, but more than their armament or troop complement they are known for their sizable Light's Embrace pacification field generators. Capable of stunning all lifeforms in its immediate surroundings, and even sapping strong emotions from everyone in its general vicinity, assault towers are psychological weapons just as much as they are physical.

With only low powered guidance boosters to assist with orienting for docking procedures, the Sanctum-class is effectively one massive drop pod, and there are other drawbacks to its use, but despite its savage nature the assault tower is a frighteningly effective fast assault weapon.
