STRENGTHS

• Bulwark: Like many Mon Calamari designs, the Tuz has multi-layered shielding which allows it to at least put up one set of shields in a given area even if some of the ship's other shielding systems are damaged or down. Additionally, the Tuz sports fairly thick armor plating, making it exceptionally difficult to take down on the battlefield.
• Heavy Hitter: The Tuz is a classic big gun battleship, capable of bringing at least three of its heavy particle cannons in any arc and supplementing these weapons with hundreds of other guns. A single broadside from a Tuz can very easily eliminate a number of cruisers and frigates with a single stroke.

WEAKNESSES

• Low Agility: The Tuz is not an agile craft due to its size and the mass of its heavy armor.
• Low Speed: The Tuz is not a fast vessel on account of its bulk and power dedication to its large number of weapons and shield projectors.

DESCRIPTION
In the wake of the collapse of the Bryn'adul Empire, the Silver Jedi Concord quickly commissioned a limited number of 'budget battleships' to help secure the Concord's northern borders against the expanding New Imperial Order. The resulting Tuz-class manages to provide considerable amounts of firepower and staying power with a relatively low operating cost thanks to the use of high levels of automation and using fewer albeit more powerful weapons. Additionally, the Tuz almost entirely uses energy weapons, preferring the economies of blaster gas and simple fusion power source supplies over more costly and typically more complicated kinetic ordnance weapons. Still, the Tuz-class is fairly formidable brawler, capable of dishing out and absorbing high amounts of damage between its heavy firepower and extensive, multi-layered shielding - a dangerous foe to all would-be enemies of the Silver Jedi Concord.
