STRENGTHS

• Super carrier: Each Vizier-class fleet carrier can hold enough an enormous quantity of starfighters, enabling them to single handedly provide starfighter coverage to entire fleets.
• Invasion Platform: A Vizier-class fleet carrier in a ground deployment configuration can deploy 30,000 troops onto a planet's surface from orbit in under an hour.
• Battle carrier: Despite its primary function being that of a fleet carrier, the Vizier-class is heavily armed and armored, making it capable of safely annihilating smaller capital ships and even smaller Star Destroyers from afar without risking starfighter wings.
• The Classic Imperial Wedge: Like many other classic Imperial capital ships, the Vizier-class fleet carrier has a wedge-shaped hull that allows it to concentrate its entire firepower on targets directly in front of it, with devastating results.
• Air Controller: A sophisticated comms array enables officers onboard a Vizier-class fleet carrier to command large groups of starfighters, troop transports, and small capital ships from within the secondary bridge

WEAKNESSES

• The Classic Imperial Wedge: Like many other classic Imperial capital ships, the armaments of the Vizier-class carriers are optimized for forward firing, restricting its firepower when engaging foes from the side and leaving it especially vulnerable when attacked from behind.
• Aim for the Bridge: The Vizier-class carriers have a large, prominent bridge that is vulnerable to targeted fire once the ship's shields are destroyed. Furthermore, neither of the carrier's bridges are replaceable: destroying the primary bridge effectively disables the ship while destroying the secondary bridge removes its ability to command starfighter wings, forcing them to rely on their own navigational tools and comms.

DESCRIPTION
Developed in secret over the course of a year, the Vizier-Class Fleet Carrier was developed as a carrier the size of a Star Destroyer. Because of the sheer cost of research & design, production and labor costs only three were made, the "Harbinger", "Eye of Solipsis" and the "Torrent". This ship would be used as a sort of capital ship / carrier, as its high capacity for starfighters would immediately allow for air superiority, while its heavy cannons could destroy or disable smaller ships.
