STRENGTHS
- Fast and agile Titan: The Sunken God is fast and agile for a ship of its size. Not at the maximum of what is possible, but still far above the original Imperator Class.
- Stealth and Trickery: Stygium Cloaking and Relec, plus bafflers and jammers allow the Sunken God to operate below the shadows, jumping in and out of battles cloaked, to make up for its megere defenses. It also comes with predetor drives and a gravity well that allowed the Sunken God to keep ships from leaving hyperspace, as well as slowing them down for short periodes of time.
- Arcane Overlord: The Sunken God was outfitted with two ritual chambers that allow the vessel to call upon the dark side of the force in naval combat by using complex rituals and spells.
- Independent Operator: The Imperator-class is capable of operating on long-term assignments without need for regular resupply, and thus does not need additional ships for logistical support. It does, however, need to be resupplied every six months, and must be given yearly servicing, with potential refits every five years.
- Command Vessel: The extensive sensor and targeting suites make the Imperator-class ideal for hunting down enemy targets and eliminating them, but also for serving as the centre of any effective battle fleet, able to monitor large-scale engagements and co-ordinate allied efforts from the safety of the heavily-armoured vessel.
- Rear Blind Spot: Like many warships of the angular Imperial design, the Imperator-class cannot fire on any ship directly behind it.
- Bridge Tower: The Imperator-class' bridge tower serves as a glaring target for enemy vessels.
- Fragile: The Sunken God traded strenght and resilliance for speed and agility, and can only take a comparable small amount of damage.
- Large Crew Complement: Due to the size and complexity of the Imperator-class, she requires a considerable number of crewmembers, in the form of naval officers, engineers, troopers, pilots and support personnel. This invariably means that there are only a limited number of the Imperator in service.
- Small Hangar Size: Despite the size of the Imperator-class, they are not designed as carrier vessels, and have a far smaller complement of fighters for a ship of her size.
- Tainted: The ship has a clear aura of darkness that lingers over it, cloaked or not.
When the sith once more gathered under a single banner, a single dark lord, each being that had risen to be accapted as a lord of the sith among the others was gifted one of the devestating Imperator-class Star Battlecruiser to serve the empire.
So one of them found its way into the hands of Darth Abyss, Mindeater and Lord of Deception. While he took a liking in the overall design of the ship, the heavily armed, slow titan was not well suited for the needs of the shadowy sith. As always Abyss called upon his assets and began to alter the ship to fit his methods.
Dubbed "The Sunken God" the ship rose once more, changed into something new. The amount of heavy weapons was reduced, as was its shielding, in trade for higher speed and agility to enable more elegant boarding attampts as well as stealth systems to serve as another priate vessel in Abyss Twilight Fleet, a collection of privateers in service of the empire.
Another new feature is the ritual chamber, made to mirror that of Abyss flagship, The Eldritch. From there various spells can be cast on a naval scale to further strenghten the Sunken God in battle.
