- Speedy Speed Boy: In an attempt to compensate for the sacrifices made for luxury features, and to make the great amount of travel that is expected of the vessel easier, the Turbo L.O.V.E.R was built to be faster than a ship of its class would usually be. When the SLAM is activated, the Turbo L.O.V.ER is capable at reaching very high sublight speeds for both evasion and travel.
- Powerslave: With its onboard droid brain the Turbo L.O.V.E.R can be managed by a largely droid crew, eliminating the need for a star destroyer fully crewed by living manpower.
- TIE Racks: Carrying a hangar load out meant to accommodate for TIE series vessels which can be compactly stored and rapidly deployed, utilizing this line of starships as the ship's complement allows for more effective 'hit and slip' tactics meaning a faster starfighter deployment and recovery.
- Party on the Inside: The Turbo L.O.V.E.R sacrifices many of the armament and defensive features of its base model to make room for the more flashy and decadent features, making it not much of a force to be reckoned with compared to other ships of similar class when a supporting fleet is absent.
- Watch Your A*s: Like all ‘wedge’ shaped star destroyers, only an array of point defense cannons protect the Turbo L.O.V.E.R's aft at all. Leaving its ion drives fully exposed to enemy fire.
- Directional Firepower: The orbital autocannons are completely axial mounted meaning the ship has to full face its target to use these weapons to any effect.
DESCRIPTION
After the apostasy and his subsequent defection from the Sith Empire to his joint allegiance to the New Imperial Order and The Qotsisajakaar, Darth Avernus' need for a significant flagship became very apparent. The need for constant relocation as well as sufficient protection from those who would pursue him led him to pursue multiple avenues of transportation. After exploring several insufficient methods, Darth Avernus began to seek a method of portable living that had high combat and defensive potential.
Modeling a ship after
Irveric Tavlar
's Epitaph II, with planning and manufacturing aid from THE MIGHTY
Gat Tambor
a prototype was concocted. After several attempts to make a ship of this size fast enough for Darth Avernus' preference, the (K)aggathD6-3.6 was born. Unfortunately, when testing the sublight speed of the ship in-atmosphere, an accident occurred. When reaching top speed, the exterior shell was peeled from the chassis due to atmospheric friction that was too much even for the ship's shielding. Basing a new model to correct the speed and shielding shortcomings of the KD6-3.6 (while also toning down the speed) led to the construction of the (K)aggathD6-3.7 which was eventually given the name TURBO L.O.V.E.R.After the New-Imperial Invasion of The Sith Empire's Bastion, and Darth Avernus's death at the hands of Operation Kyber Dark, the ship fell into the hands of his heir,
Lyra 'Sybila' Voikryt
along with many other AvCorp assets. The ISD from that day forward no longer served as AvCorp's primary mobile headquarters.
