Hull Composition

Titanium Reinforced Alusteel Hull. The heavily shielded, carbonite and durasteel-reinforced dome holds and protects the main reactor. And all the Armek-M38 Heavy Pulse Turbolaser Cannons are protected by 1 Metre of Quadanium Steel Hull Plating each.


Reflective Hull Armor Plating –

Almost like a mirror, the reflective hull armor plating is designed to reflect the starscape while providing added protection against enemy weapons fire. It is a type of molecularly bonded armor that is strengthened at the subatomic level, and coated with blaster-laser resistant coating. Even after shield loss, the armor was designed for extra defense.

Hull: 15,000 RU


Shield Sys


- 5 Hoerch/Kessel Drive Yards Type One Shield Generators ( Fore, Aft – All Internally placed)
- Sovereignty Shipworks SGT-6 Shield Generators (Used as reserve only– All Internally placed)


Shields: 20,000 SBD



Anti-Intruder System



Checkpoints throughout the ship has been implemented, with blast doors lined with durasteel at each checkpoint. Also at every checkpoint are force locks (strong force fields) that will automatically engage to block a person who does not have the proper clearance to that portion of the ship. durasteel also lines the corridor walls to prevent lightsabers from cutting through. At every checkpoint (which are manned by a security droid) are clearance checks – which are done by voice recognition, or ID cards. Access to the bridge is extremely limited, and only officers are allowed entry. Persons wishing to enter the bridge must undergo a fingerprint scan – those who do not have clearance are barred from entry by force locks and blast doors. Also lining the checkpoints are the mark four guardian grids. These grinds are outfitted with laser cannons that track known hostiles and eliminate them. The grids only come online when someone tries to gain access through the checkpoint without clearance.

The anti-intruder system is also designed to penetrate fingerprints to locate forgeries and fakes. The fingerprint scanners have been upgraded to spot fake fingerprints – such as the known fingerprint copying device. The scanner also checks for life signs with in the person. It will not accept clearance from anyone without a pulse of some kind.



Shield Energy Examiners

A new design of sensor to be used onboard the Stryker the Shield Energy Examiners minutely examine the shield strength and power output. It is supposed to discover the weakpoints in the shield projected by the enemy ships. These locations are then fed to the weapon banks which can target them thus exploiting the shield's weakness.


Hyperwave Inertial Momentum Sustainer

Abbreviated HIMS, this device was developed on Bakura. In its simplest form, this is a specially-built hyperspace coil which shuts itself on and off. When the device detects an interdiction field or other false mass-line in hyperspace, it cuts the hyperdrive off, dropping the ship out of hyperspace. Immediately, a static hyperwave bubble generator in-line with the HIMS ignites, surrounding the ship with a hyperspace bubble. The bubble does not provide thrust, just a way of passing through the interdiction field. Thus, the ship coasts inside the bubble until it can no longer sustain istelf. When the bubble fails, the hyperspace comes on long enough to register the existence of the interdiction field, then trips again. If enough hyperspace buble generators are linked to the hyperspace coil, the ship can drift deep into the interdiction field, popping bubbles as it goes. The ship will appear to flicker in and out of hyperspace. The momentum of the ship will slowly diminish until it cannot jump back to hyperspace. At this time, the HIMS can be shut down, and sublight engines must be used




Retractable Weapons Cannons

The weapon extends a meter or so (depending on the weapon) out of the ship, fires, retracts, recharges, and fires again. New easy-slide rails compensate for the obvious reduction in time to fire twice. When compared to weapons already mounted on the hulls, the retractable weapons were found to be just as easy to recharge and fire as the standard weapons.


Sovereignty Shipworks mk.I Ion Engines

Exhaust from the ship is carried by tubes mounted inside the hull to vents all over the ship. The exhaust is vented methodically, and is dispersed with enough force for the ion exhaust to spread over a wide area – mingling with space particles and then dissolving. This allows the ship to move without a trace. To compensate for any circumstance, the vents that release the exhaust gasses can be closed. In this event, the gasses can be stored, where it is processed for later venting.


Auxiliary Bridge



This could not be more truthful. In recent events it has been observed that the need for a second bridge has become apparent. The auxiliary bridge is smaller then the main bridge, but it has all the necessary components that it’s larger companion carries. The bridge is activated in two ways –

One, in the event of total systems failure on the main bridge, the second bridge can be activated.
Two, if the first bridge is destroyed somehow, the second one comes online.

The same security measures applied to the main bridge also are implemented on the auxiliary bridge – with cortosis –lined blast doors, fingerprint scanners, and force locks. In the event of the bridge crew being killed, trained crewmembers have been instructed in how to operate the ship.


Security Force

Trained to provide maximum security onboard any ORS vesselThese are specially modified assassin droids who have been programmed with anti-Force user techniques. They are directly tied in with the ship’s main computer and are instantly alerted to any intruders. They are programmed to seek out and destroy known intruders. They take no prisoners and do not respond to negotiation.


Advanced Power Grid System

To increase efficiency and tighten security measures, a new power generator has been created and implemented. Unlike normal generators, which are located at a single point, the new generator has been designed much like a human nervous system. It is made up of individual powerpacks that are located throughout the ship. The system ties into all ship systems, giving them power. This is a much more efficient design then the normal power core. This way the power core is the entire ship. Each powerpack is also designed to operate at full capacity if another pack is damaged or destroyed. This eliminates the option of sabotage of the ship’s nervous system.




Commentary
Designed to bridge the gap between normal heavy cruisers and super cruisers, the Dauntless is the newest in command cruisers. Equipped with the same systems as a Super Star Destroyer, and almost the same amount of weapons the Dauntless is the Sovereignty’s answer to the heavy command ships being produced by other factions.
