Strengths:
  • Heavy Armament: Like other Imperial and First Order vessels, the Victory X-class has an increased amount of turbolasers, permitting it to deal with any enemy threat, be it pirates or an enemy faction.
  • Heavy Shielding: Alongside its healthy compliment of turbolasers, this heavy cruiser boasts above-average shields, allowing it to take hits as well as return them.
  • Medium Armor: Made out of a rather thick durasteel hull, the ship can withstand an average amount of turbolaser blasts, with some titanium-reinforcement in certain areas like the bridge and the reactor bulge.
  • Concussion Missiles: Armed with numerous launchers and stockpiles of warheads, the Victory X-class can pierce ray shields of enemy shields, but still being destroyed by standard particle shields.
Weaknesses:
  • Lack of Fighters: Carrying no TIE Fighters, the Victory XI-class lacks support, allowing enemy fighters to exploit its blindspots.
  • Slow: Like other ships of the Order's arsenal, the Victory XI-class has a slow speed and maneuverability for a ship of its class.
  • Lack of Aft Weaponry: This cruiser only has 10 point defense laser cannons covering its stern, allowing fighters and capital ships to destroy it from behind,
  • Missile Storage: While stored under titanium-reinforced durasteel, the missiles are rather close to their launchers, allowing the entire stockpile to explode if the launcher is hit the right way.
Description: With the continued usage of old Imperial models such as the Victory I and II destroyers, the First Order felt the need to give the aged ship design a break. After the tested success of the Imperial X-class Star Destroyer, First Order engineers began to design a complete upgrade to the Victory series, the Victory XI-class Star Destroyer.

Carrying an impressive amount of turbolasers and concussion missile launchers, the Victory XI-class boasts the ability to dispatch enemy ships as a mainline heavy cruiser, being backed up by equally impressive deflector shields. The hull itself is almost fully durasteel, with some parts of the ship such as the missile storage and the bridge being reinforced with titanium.

While magnificient as a fleet escort and cruiser, the Victory XI-class still has a few notable weaknesses. The first and foremost being the fact that it can field no TIE Fighters due to space being taken up by ground forces, armor, and missile storage. Another flaw is its slow speed and manueverability, which coincides with the lack of weaponry in the stern section, a common problem in Imperial ships that has issues being rectified due to space restrictions.

Though one of the most fatal flaws this ship has is in fact one of its advantages, carrying a missile stockpile for each launcher and reinforced by titanium-durasteel, if the launcher explodes at just the right angle, the entire stockpile can go up in a fiery inferno that could severly damage the ship.

The advantages do outweigh the disadvantages though, making this a deadly adversary to face in large numbers on the battlefield. May the First Order us it to its full destructive potential.

Development Thread: If necessary
Intent: To create a mainline heavy cruiser for the First Order's Navy

Model: Victory I-class Star Destroyer
Should this be Victory X? As a brief aside, there is another Victory X within the factory which is around the same size and also a derivative of the original design. While it's not mandatory, I might consider a different name just to avoid potential confusion between the two.

x20 Assault Concussion Missile Launchers

Assault concussion missiles are pretty powerful under the new template (each one being equivalent to 10 turbolasers or 5 normal missile launchers), which makes this a bit overgunned. If you're looking for a heavy warhead, I would make these "Heavy Concussion Missile Launchers". Alternatively, you could follow more in the vein of the original Victory Star Destroyer and make these normal concussion missiles, in which case you could have 40 concussion missile launchers.

Please place your point defense weapons under the armament section.


To match your description and your armament rating, I'd probably add something like 20 more standard turbolasers or another equivalent.

That being said, Armament and Defense ratings over 16 usually require development for cruisers, though I do not think it will require as much development with the lowered speed and maneuverability. I am going to ask for 10 posts for the increased offense/defense abilities. Most heavy cruisers as per the template also do not carry any starfighters, so I think that feature will require another 10 posts.

So we're basically looking at 20 posts as is, though if you want to pick and choose some of these features, it could be less than that.
