Strengths:
[SIZE=10pt]·[/SIZE]Higher Defense: With an additional power cell, the systems control the flow of additional energy toward the shields. This gives a boost to the vessel's defense.
[SIZE=10pt]·[/SIZE]Hangar Space: Without the need of organics, the ship’s hangars were expanded slightly in design, allowing for a couple of transports or half an additional squadron, giving two and a half squadrons overall, making up space for at least thirty fighters.
[SIZE=10pt]·[/SIZE]Broadside: Under closed hatches along the side of the cruiser there are hidden Turbolasers that can unleash a powerful broadside strike.
Weaknesses:
[SIZE=10pt]· [/SIZE]Armament:[SIZE=9pt] With the increase in armament, and an additional power cell which is only focused toward shielding extra power from the overall power of the ship drains rather quickly compared to the original design. With the quick drain, weapon recharge is slower.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]· [/SIZE][SIZE=10pt]Shield Opening: When firing the SPHA, the shield is partially opened around the cannon on the underside as to provide maximum firepower from the weapon, which can allow a strike against the cannon as it charges. This could cause a chain reaction, damaging the front half of the ship.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]· [/SIZE]Crew Size:[SIZE=10pt] Due to most of the inner hull being replaced by other things such as hangar space and additional storage space and the added power cell, there is less room to house crew. However, the entirety of the crew is made up of droids and other automated [/SIZE][SIZE=13.3333px]crew members[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt].[/SIZE]
Description: The Obsidian Fist is a salvaged Star Destroyer, something that took to WD-334's liking as the droid always favored Imperial make. Thanks to LOOM, owned by a fellow Metal Lord to WD, the ship was reconstructed with additional armament and another power cell. With the added weapons it could pack quite a punch, and with the SPHA, it could target unshielded targets and unleash a powerful blast which also leaves the ship vulnerable around the underbelly weapon.
The war droid went on to name this ship after it's first, the Tartan cruiser Obsidian which was to later become more of a front line ship.
The refitted Star Destroyer was designed to be WD's flagship amongst the fleets of the Metal Lords, however is only the second ship owned by the droid. It would be the beginning of it's own fleet's expansion. Despite having such a powerful armament, WD designed it to be more of a defensive ship.
