Description: As a spiritual successor to the Victory-class Star Destroyer, this vessel was originally a mainstay in the Sith Navy. Its fearsome reputation was earned through hellish, unrelenting fire that did not stop until the enemy ship was slag. Combined with other fearsome ships, the sight of several Xo'Xaans flying in formation was often enough to quell any budding dissent. Moving forward, it was decided to build on this fearsome reputation. To that end, the Xo'Xaan was given a frightening array of quad ion cannons, long range turbolasers, and heavy turbolaser cannons. It is a ship without missiles, but it does not need them. It simply looks in the direction of an enemy ship and then erases it in a flash of light.
Despite its terrifying armament, the Xo'Xaan remains vulnerable to concentrated fighter/bomber attacks. As well, like several other SFS designs, the Xo'Xaan suffers from a lack of aft weapons coverage. However, this is often glossed over as an unfortunate side-effect of the specialized nature of the ship. Of course, others would argue that one need not fear what was behind them when everything in front of them was little more than molten slag.
