STANDARD FEATURES
All Standard Features
ADVANCED SYSTEMS
ANs-9.5w Wide Range Sensor System: A wide range sensor system used to detect starships in the vicinity, up to 100km of its current location. Used for detecting starships and studying commonly used Hyperlanes. (x)
In-Ship Factory and Repair Bay: It is a massive factory that produces droid parts, starfighter parts, starfighters and even parts to capital ships when required.
Extendable Hanger Bay: It actually extends outwards of the ship and unleashes all the squadrons at once in the hanger bay before retracting back into the ship.
Hyperdrive Signal Interceptor: The Hyperdrive Signal Interceptor detects flucations in the local area though not of its destination nor the type of ship. This sensor is used against enemy forces when to deploy enemy units or get ready for the big attack. (x)
Micropoles: With the amount of Micropoles placed, each shield generator works in conjunction with the other, making it near impossible to attempt to disable just one and fire upon the ship, even putting away any blind spots on the Utriusque Restituo. (x)
Modular Furnace: This allows with the aid of Tractor Beams to scoop up scrap metal and melt into usable metals for construction and repair of numerous ships and materials. (x)
X10-D Droid Brains: Each part of the factory system along with various amounts of weapon systems can be traced to numerous X10-D Droid Brains scattered across the Utriusque Resituo to even operate basic factory work.
Strengths:
- Juggernaut: Taking down this ship with just turbolaser fire just won't do it unless you just fire upon it with everything the enemy has for a decent amount of time. The amount of defenses due to the shield generators as well as the use of Micropoles and Ion Shield Generators makes it a near impossibility of it being destroyed without a heavy use of fleet firepower.
- Release the Swarm!: While also having included a rather large factory, it also has a massive hanger bay designed to hold hundreds of starfighters at a time, in addition to smaller freighters and support craft which can be conviently released all at once from its extending hangerbay function.
- Mobile Factory/Repair Ship: With the amount of factory equipment located inside the Utriusque Restituo, it is an utter amazement of what can be built within. It can have a corvette docked nearby and produce the necessary parts to get it back up and running in no time at all with starfighter parts being built in the hundreds which even includes its own droid helpers to keep the assembly line moving.
- Modular Furnace Hungry!: If a poor starfighter gets caught in the tractor beams or if a larger ship gets to close, the Modular Furnace can activate and start tearing apart the ship into usable material while holding it into place. This can make it very dangerous to get close to do any form of heavy bombardment with brawling capital ships.
- Open Hanger Bay Weakspot: If found and exploited, each time the Hanger Bay door is extended out to unleash a wave of squadron fighters, it can easily be shot at and damaged. This is one of the few times it is rarely shielded, being at 1/5 of the strength of the original shield generators.
- Slower than a Hutt!: This thing does not wish to move if at all, it is extremely hard to get going and start and hard to slow down.
If one was to describe the last time a Factory Ship was used during a massive combat engagement, the usual answer is "So Long Ago, the Animator Died trying to Put It on the Big Screen." which usually meant, the Arc Hammer. It was not designed to be in combat, meaning it can only be used for building and to do destruction. As time went on, no one seemed to ever attempt a repeat, at least not at the scale or cost shown to the Arc Hammer until after seeing a film based on the supposed construction, Haon Hafey had an idea, a dastardly idea. Just a bit before, he had read up on World Devestators that were mobile factories on the ground and in space, able to grow while assimilating all forms of metal into its own skeleton though they ended up being destroyed by a virus. After creating a set of blueprints and showing it towards Black Sun officals, the plan went into action, the largest ship ever produced by Haon Hafey.
They gathered many components for the design, numerous X10-D Droid Brains to make sure the factories run true, In-Ship Factory and Repair Bay design plans and even old designs from afar, adding in ANs-9.5w Wide Range Sensor System, an Extendable Hanger Bay, along with a Hyperdrive Signal Interceptor. As the plan kept coming together, they realized what they can do, what no one would ever dare try doing ever again. Grabbing all the SLD-14 shield generators and ion shield generators they could, they installed them throughout numerous portions of the ship as well as micropoling almost every inch of the ship till it was finally nigh impregnable, adding very few armaments though the main piece of the puzzle was still missing but they knew where to look, near the heart of Ord Mantell.
Centuries before, an Imperial Leviathan was laid to rest as pieces of scrap, never once daring to strip it for parts for its fear of turning back on. Haon did not fear such a thing, probably due to it not being activated in over eight hundred years. Ripping out the Modular Furnace, they would install it almost right in the middle of the ship with tractor beams laced all around it as they became impressed with the result, even testing it out near their own scrap yards with impressive results. Knowing it would require a great deal, they added in a very large hanger bay and set up ground rules to prevent the misuse of these ships as of many years ago.
To start, these ships were no longer fully automated. The controls for piloting the ship as well as activating weapon systems still need to be done by organic or at least sentient mechanical beings. In addition, no droid brain is ever the master brain, allowing itself to be shut off on a moments notice. Lastly, the defenses were beefed up considerably and the entire hanger bay was used for its personal defense, allowing it once and for all to be a formidable combat ship if used.
The statistics of this ship were also rather impressive, being able to assemble a starfighter from parts in less than five minutes, on an assembly line of twelve which meant a squadron every five minutes. The crew in count to the amount of droids required were also staggering. Over six hundred crew was required to the over three thousand droids necessary to keep the production moving with the minimum of a hundred crew and droids to just keep the Utriusque Restituo up and running. Consumables had over a years worth of supplies and parts can easily be melted down and remade in minutes. In addition, if a particular fighter type was needed, it can easily be switched to in a matter of minutes.
The Utriusque Restituo-class Factory Command Battlecarrier was christened and was made as the only one, being rather costly but at the same time, almost a symbol of what the Black Sun was capable of when thinking ahead towards the future. With it flying out of its respective shipyard, it almost held a swelling of pride to see a vision come to life at long last, to show that a miracle can occur at nightfall. With wine uncorked, the future of the Utriusque Restituo was now in Black Suns hands.
When it was returned from Black Suns failing government, one of the few key things that had to be redone was the entire weapons structure with new blueprint battleplans. One of which was to remove its failing as a real capital ship and add in some dual turbolasers to at least be able to fight back against some of the star destroyers of its time. While it still is not capable enough to generally fight a battle cruiser one on one, it was better than nothing.
When the Alliance requested this to be pulled from the military line up, Haon did so with its maiden voyage back home. It is now partly Haons personal flagship till things get aligned once again.
