Other Equipment:
Diamond Bore ACSPL: The Diamond Bore launchers are typical torpedoes used to borrow into the inner depths of an enemy capital ship or station, the torpedo is equipped with its own cloaking device that clocks the torpedo the moment it leaves the ship. The torpedo uses a series of micro thrusters to keep itself on course, using them only to commit a course change. Because of the lack of emissions from this class of torpedo, it's possible for it to get to the enemy ship without interference. However, its speed is based on how fast the battleship is going, using mass and inertia to reach its target.
The torpedo is incased in an emp resistant armor, this is because the tip of the torpedo is armed with a small EMP charge that allows it to break through shields. When this charge is used, the torpedo will instantly decloak for the ten seconds that its visible, allowing for it to be possibly destroyed. The warhead itself is powerful enough to blow apart a corvette class vessel, and to cause serious internal damage to frigate class ships. Anything bigger and its truly dependent on the armor of that ship.
The bridge of a vessel is the favorite target for these torpedos.
Straffer Cannons: A specialized beam cannon used to shatter the shields of enemy ships and cause serious damage to the enemy's hull. The weapon works by directing a beam of sub-atomic particles that can penetrate solid matter and shielding to detonate on command causing massive internal damage. The turret is AI controlled and can cut a swaff through space toward it's intended target.
Because of the size of this ship, being its a battleship class, it doesn't have the same drawback that it's Crescent cousin does. The only 'actual' drawback is that the weapon can't be fired while cloaked.
Tri-ace Refractive Shield Generator: Built only on this ship, the refractive shield generator was built to augment the armor and combat effectiveness of the command ship. Able to refract lasers back into the space, the ship was made almost invulnerable to energy-based weapons. To put it simply, the shield is a million tiny prisms, each one refracts the beam back out into space, not deflect or absorption, but refraction. However, like the armor, the shield won't stop ballistic weapons but will slow them down.
Description:
When the Serendivus was originally formed, its command ship was comprised of a single star destroyer that was retrieved off the black-market. Over the intervening years its been upgraded, retrofitted, and upgraded some more. However, it was later decided that a new ship had to be developed, one because of how large the organization was growing, but also because of new and more powerful ships being rolled off the imperial assembly line.
Thus, the Cynax was born. Built to withstand an astronomical amount of punishment and then dish it out just the same, its speed and menuverability have been significantly reduced in order to make room for more powerful weapons and defensive systems. Its usage of a cloaking drive is merely as a trademark, because of its size the ship can cloak, but it can't fire or move. However, just because it can’t fire move doesn’t mean its easy pray.
Unlike the Crescent, the armor of the Cynax is purely reflective, resulting in energy weapons being less effective against it, but ballistic being very effective.
Summery:
Only one built, the generator can stop all energy weapons current - however it is useless against ballistic weapons and some torpedos.
Its cloaking generator can hide it, but because of its size and mass, its easy to locate using capital ship based sensors.
