Most importantly affixed to the Skywalker-class destroyer were the five turreted hypervelocity cannons, each capable of firing within a 120-degree arc. One of the hypervelocity cannons is positioned at the foredeck, while the other four are positioned staggered towards the back, two on each side. This allows at least two of the cannons to fire on the same target at once, no matter where the target is positioned relative to the destroyer. However, as with all rotating weapons of this caliber, movement is not as fast as the average turbolaser turret is capable of, and reloading is a slow process, sacrificing the quick rate of fire that turbolasers can spout off. These powerful mass projectile cannons are therefore extremely effective at range, but their ability to turn fast enough during close encounters (such as broadside engagements) is where their presence is practically negated.
The Skywalker-class’ plating is layered with Carbonite to help prevent deactivation from ionic attacks, although this does not make it entirely immune. Its primary systems are also backed up with analogue mechanical systems to be extra sure, although the ship would not be able to run at full effectiveness if on manual systems.
As the original Venator-class destroyers were, the retrofitted Skywalker-class destroyers are capable of operation within a planet’s gravitational event horizon.
The Skywalker-class destroyer operates best with a crew of approximately 900. Its provisions capacity for this amount of operators lasts for a duration of approximately 6 months.
