- The Stahrvos-class is outfitted with all the features and facilities one would expect from a vessel of its size and purpose, among these:
- Standard Communications Suite - HoloNet & Subspace Transceiver
- Full Mind-Machine Interface Integration
- Antisepsis Field Generators
- Force Cylinders
- Electronic Warfare:
- Long-Range Jamming Systems
- NEEDLE Remote Slicing Unit
- Electronic Countermeasures
- Slicing Countermeasures
- Utility Systems:
- Impenetrable Aegis: From its state-of-the-art shield generators to its self-regenerating hull plating and its highly optimised defence grid, the Stahrvos is a fiendishly difficult nut to crack, a reality only compounded by its brutally efficient internal security systems.
- Terror of the Stars: Bristling with armaments of every size and purpose, including a pair of massive plasma cannons designed to cripple capital ships while its turbolasers tear them apart, the Stahrvos is meant to be able to trade fire with just about anything and come out on top, its capabilities only further bolstered by a robust Electronic Warfare suite and the naval coordination facilities required of a flagship.
- Arcane Engineering: Complex beyond belief and making use of highly unusual engineering methods, performing anything beyond routine maintenance on a Stahrvos is likely to require a state-of-the-art shipyard, preferably one administrated by a sufficiently advanced AI.
- Support Structure: Carrying only a single squadron of starfighters, typically interceptors, and lacking the space to carry prefabricated bases, AT-ATs, or even any significant quantity of gunships, ESDs are only able to perform as intended when properly supported.
- Slow and Steady: While its SLAM is viable for brief surges of speed, the Stahrvos is otherwise a slow beast unsuited for pursuits.
By far the largest and most powerful warship ever produced by the Erakhian Federation, the Stahrvos-class was commissioned relatively recently and has yet to be involved in confrontations with anything but minor regional powers and pirates. Perhaps for this reason, it has earned a reputation for indestructibility... a reputation unlikely to last very long should one of these ever be forced to face, say, an Autarch.
It hardly hurts that the Admiralty are deathly afraid of losing even a single of its new toys and thus rarely deploys them outside the Luminex System.
Built in a classically Erakhian manner, the ESD is able to operate at peak performance with a positively tiny crew of highly skilled officers, all of which are housed within a bridge structure submerged within the core of the ship, featuring four housing halls, officers' dorms, leisure rooms, a marine barracks, a Fleet Coordination Centre-cum-Battle Bridge, and even an AI Core, the inhabitant of which varies from ship to ship.
Being named after Chancellor Stahrvos the Preserver, the man responsible for giving the order to sterilise several Erakhian cities following the initial outbreak of the Gulag Plague, the ESD is appropriately well-suited for orbital bombardment, though it should be noted that Erakhian naval doctrine strictly regulates the use of such methods, often requiring direct authorisation from the state's highest executive authority.
