ADVANCED SYSTEMS
Advanced Weapon Systems;
[SIZE=10.5pt]Hydrus - Enhanced firing rate and stopping power, the Hydrus has a fast reload speed and is able to be fired at standard weapons range. When used in prolonged engagements the weapon system can be prone to overheat. The ion cannon weapon system was developed by Aurora Industries to outpace standard ion cannons utilizing its sianium power generator to do so. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Scutum - Utilizing a very high rate of fire, compensated by recoil dampeners this flak cannon is able to produce a great amount of firepower. Designed for starfighters and missiles, the Scutum is unable to take out anything larger.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Ovmar - Able to track and target multiple targets at once the Ovmar Defensive Missile System works with its own internal sensors. These sensors enable the Ovmar to track and target multiple targets such as starfighters or missiles. The missile system is also equipped with an automated reloading mechanism as well as an auto-lock firing mechanic that makes targeting a little bit easier for the gun crews. By default, the Ovmar fires nano missiles but can fire cluster, flechette, disruptor, ion pulse or ball bearing missiles. Drawbacks for this system include misfiring, overheating overall degradation of the missile system.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Scramblers / Jammers - Equipped with an array of comm scramblers, sensor jammers of a various sort the Stormcloud hopes to keep her opponents in the dark. Either by scrambling communication efforts, jamming sensor arrays or employing electronic countermeasures, disrupting HoloNet Relays. At best she makes it difficult for enemy vessels to do their jobs of getting a lock on her, sending out communications or running sensor scans. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Anti-Ion Mesh - [/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt]An added measure to the Santiago, an anti-ion mesh to keep her going in the long fights. In a galaxy of starfighters and ion bombs, it felt natural to include the mesh. A type of insurance to ensure the Revanche wouldn’t be taken out so easily. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Target Tracker & Lock - Utilizing the 840.z Holo-Target Suite in conjunction with target trackers and a targeting systems assist gun crews with being able to better target starfighters and while the Santiago cannot target starfighters individually it can help operators better predict or guess where squadrons will be/go and flood the field with flak and ion. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Speed and Maneuverability:[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] High and moderate ratings for speed and maneuverability enable the Santiago to keep pace with some of the smaller and more agile vessels. This also gives the ship an improved efficiency rate when flooding the field with ion/flak.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Accuracy:[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] The Santiago’s main purpose is to make it harder for small craft and missiles to strike/hit some of the larger capital vessels. Leaving her accuracy with much to be desired with regards to precision hits. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Range:[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] The ship is most capable at standard range, although her mass drivers are able to score a hit from long range - the vast majority of her systems leave her unable to properly at distance. Coupled with an average to low accuracy.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Recoil:[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] Recoil from some of her heavier weapons means she does require time before firing again leaving her vulnerable for a moment or two. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]The Santiago-type had been a planned cruiser for quite some time. Initially referred to as the ‘Dosuun,’ this project was meant to launch a cruiser that could handle the wave upon wave of starfighters as launched by the Galactic Alliance. While Primo Victorian Shipwright no longer answers to nor produces for the First Order. The project was still there, and remained untouched for quite some time, until now. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Now produced specifically for Vanir Technologies as part of the ongoing partnership between the Vanir and Primo Victorian. The Santiago sees the light of day, emerging as a proper escort meant to clear the path for the larger dreadnoughts and super star destroyers. Utilizing Aurora Industries technology and their own weapons technology along with improved target tracking the Santiago was now ready for a full run. [/SIZE]
