DESCRIPTION

During the Cold War between the First Order and the New Republic, the First Order cored out the center of the planet Najra-Va as a test for the construction of Starkiller Base. The project caused the disappearance of the system's sun, with it gone and the nearby planetoid of Najra-Va cored out, the local moon flush with sentient native life was rendered lifeless and uninhabitable.

Nearly a millennia later, the Brotherhood of the Maw arrived over the desolate world. With the resources of the Final Dawn openly aiding in construction of a new weapon, all factions of the Brotherhood banded together to surpass ‘Mercy’ with a weapon of terror for the ages. The return of Kyrel Ren and his Knights alongside the mighty Tu'teggacha bore fruit with designs from an ancient First Order facility in a nearby system. Designs of STARKILLER Base and it’s initial designs to the final product, Epoch Engineering Corporation engineers were spirited away from the Deep Core and set to work under the supervision of Marlon Sularen and Derix Tirall . After three long years and countless resources imported from Ilum and other regions of space, the work was done.

The result was a ten thousand meter by ten thousand meter stationary/mounted military station and superweapon, the Cosmos Cleanser was born. Mounted in the heart of Najra-Va within the center of the cored shaft that ran through the planet. The weapon was designed to launch planet killing warheads fueled by bled kyber crystals, weapons bred from the Dark Side itself for the sole purpose of destroying worlds, each warhead capable of entering and leaving hyperspace while being led to their target by a navigational beacon nearby.

I'm a dork, please have this moved to starship creation if you would please. Too many open windows, my apologies.

Again a very solid and great submission. When I started to read I thought I'll ask you, you don't want to add more weapons to the submission or not, but I saw why it has only these, and I accept it. I accept it, but as a superweapon it needs a secondary approval.

Pending Approval.

While I applaud the creativity and function behind this submission there are several issues with this submission that I am not happy with. ​

1) The Weapon

You have created a superweapon that can fire missiles through hyperspace at targets all across the galaxy, while opposing writers are unable to hit the station itself. While the missile does have certain weaknesses they do not make up for the ability to launch attacks from all the way across the galaxy. A superweapon should be present in the thread, to allow the opposition writers the ability to attack it, to board it, to destroy it, to tell a story which they choose, rather than limit the choice of your opposition writers. ​

2) The Location

Immovable Object: It is mounted within the center of Najra-Va and cannot be moved.

A space station is by definition a station in space. This however is built into a planet, and therefore is not truly a space station but is instead a codex location submission. Superweapons must be submitted to the factory, furthermore, by mounting the station in the middle of a planet you also prevent it from being attacked like any other space station without first breaking through the planet, necessitating an annihilation thread of its own. ​

​

It is for the reasons enunciated above I am going to deny this submission. While it is a superweapon it is not one I feel meets the spirit of superweapons on the board.​

​

To fix the issues would require the rewriting of hte entire submission, to the point where it would be easier to make a new submission. ​

​

If you wish, you may second chance my decision by posting into the factory second chance thread. ​
