- Full automization: Thanks to the integration of various high tech computers and internal electronics alongside the ZEUS Droid Brain at the core, this ship requires a lot less functional personel to have this ship be in perfect operational condition. It also increases the precision of the weaponry and allows for better tactical approaches when in an emergency.
- Extreme Armament: Loaded to the brim with a large array of powerful missile launchers and modern weaponry alongside the high precision of the targeting systems and guidance systems thanks to the full automization of the ship, the Tyrant II class is veritably extremely potent when it comes to offensive capability in comparison to other ships within its class.
- Widespread Ruin: The positioning of the Missile launchers on the central load-bearing ring of the Tyrant Class II Missile cruiser grants the ship and unparallelled scope of firing, which adds on to the already impressively high defensive capabilities ofthe ship.
- Full automization: As always there is a disadvantage to the automization of ships, which becomes progressively obvious in this case, as the ship due to its high reliance on the ZEUS droid brain is very succeptible to Ion and EMP attacks, especially when the shielding of the ship would be down.
- Full automization II: With automization comes the risk of having slicers try and crack the encypted coding of the machines and computers responsible for the automization, though in this case this would mean trying to crack the codes of the difficult to crack ZEUS droid brain, if succesful, it would grant slicers full control over the ship.
- General Mobility: Due to prioritizing armaments and armour primarily, the Tyrant II class is severely lacking in the maneuvrability and speed department, despite the more powerful engines, this can also be adressed to its larger size and bulk and the added fact that the majority of the ships reactor's energy is used for the computing abilities of the ZEUS droid brain and the weaponry systems.
The original Tyrant Missile Cruiser was deemed the perfect starting point for a intensive update of the Nargath Holdings ship manufacturing portfolio, as various prototypes and smaller craft had already been using the more modern and cutting edge In-house designed and built weaponry it became time to truly bring forth an improved line of products which would be able to run alongside the original products, but at the same time offer a significant premium over the class I models of their respective line up.
Through a synergy with other reliable constructors and manufacturers of technology and weaponry, the Tyrant became the first platform in which the combined knowhow could be displaced, realized through the use of up to date weapon systems, more potent missile launchers and a larger hangar space for the accomodation of starfighters and support ships thanks to the increased automatization of the ships thanks to the integration of the highly capable ZEUS Droid Brains being installed.
Due to these aforementioned advancements, the Tyrant II is significantly larger than it's Tyrant I predecessor and stablemate, resulting in a more impressive and imposing ship, which is now more reliable in terms of taking on opposing capital ships on its own. However, as with the Tyrant I class, the ship's primary use is as a planetary suppression or planetary assault ship, meaning that it's strengths are first and foremost honed towards being a more militant and vigilant orbital ship rather than part of a moving fleet.
