- Rapid Deployment: Perhaps a unique feature to the ship, the Robber's Crown employs an unorthodox means of deploying its squadrons of starfighters and drones; it quite literally shoots them out at high velocities via a launch tube on either side of the ship. The Small-Fighter Rapid Deployment System allows for the Robber's Crown to quickly respond to any hostile activity, given that its sizeable fighter complement is the ship's primary weapon.
- Long Game: Although it does not have very much by way of offensive technologies, the large hangar space and highly-defensive nature of the ship allow it to go toe-to-toe with many vessels that would otherwise outclass it. This also allows the Robber's Crown to operate in situations where it may be ambushed without fear of an early knockout blow.
- Fast and Furious: The Robber's Crown features a very advanced array of hyperspace technologies; it's Meili hyperdrive allows it to reach a maximum of 0.8-grade speed while traveling through hyperspace, outclassing even many standard military vessels. A hyperwave inertial momentum sustainer prevents interdictor fields from trapping the Robber's Crown, and the NAV-RH1 Interdiction Countermeasures Package allows it to scan ahead hyperroutes for any spacetime anomalies and act accordingly.
- Not many Guns: When all is said and done, the Robber's Crown has very little in terms of actual anti-capital weapons. The ship carries only four light turbolaser cannons, and depending on the situation this can be a serious disadvantage. While this is somewhat mitigated by the hangar capacity and defenses of the ship, the lack of actual cannons on the Robber's Crown can still provide to be a weakness.
- Blindspot: The Robber's Crown offensive emplacements are situated at the bow of the ship, and the while the light turbolasers are mounted on a rotational turret, their placement means that anywhere sternward of the ship, fighters or other ships can attack without having to worry about return fire.
Commissioned by the bounty hunter known as Rocho, the Robber's Crown provided the research and development team with a unique challenge, as well as an opportunity to showcase the more creative side of Roble Manufacturing. As such, the Robber's Crown is a highly-unique shi, designed to fufill its role as a get-in, get-out heavily armored carrier. And, since its Roble Manufacturing, the Robber's Crown does that quite well.
Perhaps the keystone feature of the ship, the Small-Fighter Rapid Deployment System allows for the Robber's Crown to quickly launch the multitude of fighters stored in its hangar bays at extremely high velocities, almost instantaneously throwing them into action. These fighters serve as the primary offensive force as well as a defensive shield for the ship and being able to rapidly-deploy them decreases the response time and makes it more difficult for opponents to catch the ship off-guard.
Another key feature of the Robber's Crown is its extensive hyperspace technology suite; the RMR-H11 Meili Hyperdrive allows the ship to travel through hyperspace at extremely fast speeds -- a grade of 0..8, to be exact -- which outclasses most other ships in the galaxy. A hyperwave inertial momentum sustainer prevents interdiction fields from pulling the ship out of hyperspace, meaning that the Robber's Crown is virtually immune to that specific trap. In addition to that, a NAV-RH1 Interdiction Countermeasures Package actively scans along the ship's hyperspace trajectory for any sort of gravitational anomaly, allowing the ship to quickly act if any such anomaly is present.
The Robber's Crown also features many defensive assets, fortifying the ship from attack. An MRS-01 Eir defensive system, perhaps one of the most comprehensive on the market, offers virtually any type of shield for the ship to employ should it need to, as well as a magnetic polarization field and more components that offer protection against essentially any conceivable weapon. As if the huge hangar compliment wasn't big enough, the Robber's Crown is also outfitted with two LS3 Armato Ventral Missile Cannons, military-grade missile launchers that are able to make short work of any fighter unlucky enough to cross paths with the Robber's Crown. A RAAM-M3 Tactical Ordnance Jammer and AR-0B Damage Reduction Component only serve to further reinforce the ship against enemy damage.
All in all, the Robber's Crown can be an extremely potent ship, and as the personal ship of Rocho it will likely go down as one of the most notorious in the archives of the galaxy.
Changes Made: Updated squadron listing to properly reflect the rating.
