STRENGTHS

• Blackout: Sophisticated stealth systems, primarily offensive ones, serve as the special weapon of the Vindicator. It can easily mask its presence in a system and singe handedly isolate an entirely planet from any external communications, allowing it to ensnare prey with a ruthless efficiency. By the time that the ship is actually noticed and identified it is likely already too late to do anything but flee.
• The Force is Strong With This One: One of the main differences between the Vindicator and a typical Kaas-Class ship is that of its power system. A synthetic Kyber lattice system powers the entire vessel and enhances its weaponry to be even more potent and destructive, allowing for the vessel to operate at the peak of its capabilities at all times. Any Force Users aboard the ship will also be somewhat stronger given the presence of the Kyber crystals.

WEAKNESSES

• Hangar Deficiency: While the Kaas-Class boasts an impressive arsenal and respectable battle capabilities, it has a noticeably lacking fighter compliment. The vessel sports a fairly minor hangar in terms of size and positioning, being a single large bay at the bottom. This hinderance not only extends to a lack of starfighter housing and deployment capability but also hinders more auxiliary tasks such as planetary invasion.
• One of a Kind: While based on the Kaas-Class, the Vindicator does feature quite a few features that are unique compared it its mainline siblings and as such maintenance and repairs are more complicated. Especially regarding the power system and its unorthodox construction, most fleet tenders and even dedicated shipyards simply aren't able to fully account for its needs. Additionally, while not a traditional method of sensor detection, the use of the Kyber power system means that Force Sensitives can detect the vessel itself which can spoil ambushes or other surprise maneuvers.

DESCRIPTION
Commissioned as a sort of "sister ship" to the Harbinger of Absolution, the Vindicator of Faith would be a somewhat more refined and specialized version of the initial model which had already served to impress the Order of Wonosa. Its power system for example would be far more stable and efficient, employing lessons learned from the Harbinger to maximize its potential. Rather than the orbital cannons a new experimental weapon would be utilized, a Shield Leech Weapon that was designed specifically to make engagements with other capital ships favor the Vindicator as it would not only siphon the shields from its target but indeed could even harm the power system of another vessel itself if used extensively enough.

Unlike the Harbinger which was meant to be seen as a beacon of Wonosan engineering and pride, the Vindicator would be outfitted with stealth technologies meant not only to make it much harder to detect and trace but also to disrupt and even sever the sensors and communications systems of its foes without even having to fire a shot. It maintained all the hard-hitting capabilities of its predecessor of course but the new additions would make it more akin to an apex predator, more capable of operating alone or apart from a larger task force or fleet without any real loss in efficiency.

What it might have lacked in orbital support like the Harbinger it would serve as a more effective space warfare vessel with some minor internal improvements to make it more reliable in general. Yet the Vindicator of Faith wasn't commissioned to serve the Order of Wonosa in particular, instead it would be gifted to the newly dubbed Darth X'aviera in recognition for her accomplishments and as a badge of office of a sort.
