DESCRIPTION
The Tacitus II-class Planetary Invasion Carrier is a powerful fusion of the Victory II-class Star Destroyer's formidable combat capabilities and the Acclamator-class Assault Ship's specialized planetary invasion role. Designed to dominate both orbital engagements and large-scale ground assaults, this warship serves as the spearhead of planetary conquest, combining heavy firepower with rapid deployment systems to ensure overwhelming force projection.

Retaining the iconic wedge-shaped profile of the Victory II-class, the Tacitus II features a reinforced hull with additional armor plating along its ventral section, allowing it to endure the stresses of atmospheric entry and sustained orbital bombardment. Its broad, angular frame houses expanded hangar bays, inspired by the Acclamator's design philosophy, ensuring swift deployment of troops, armor, and support craft. Two distinct flight decks streamline operations—one dedicated to starfighter and bomber squadrons for space superiority, while the other focuses on dropships, gunships, and landing barges for rapid surface insertion.

Unlike traditional Star Destroyers, which prioritize space combat, the Tacitus II is optimized for planetary siege operations. Its armament includes heavy turbolaser batteries for orbital strikes, ion cannons to disable enemy defenses, and a formidable array of point-defense lasers to protect against incoming fighters and missiles. Meanwhile, its troop capacity rivals that of dedicated assault ships, carrying thousands of stormtroopers, prefabricated garrison bases, and armored vehicles such as AT-ATs and AT-STs. For extended campaigns, the vessel includes onboard manufacturing facilities to replenish ground forces and repair damaged equipment.

The Tacitus II excels in its role as both a carrier and an invasion command hub. Advanced sensor arrays and communications suites allow it to coordinate planetary assaults with precision, while its reinforced shields and redundant systems ensure it can withstand prolonged engagements. Whether breaking through enemy blockades, establishing beachheads, or enforcing orbital dominance, this warship embodies the brutal efficiency of Imperial military doctrine—delivering unstoppable force from the stars to the surface below.
