Special Capabilities and Further Information:
The Weapons
The ? Class Command Destroyers have the most advanced targeting systems along with up to date tracking systems for any capital-sized craft. For its size it has an amazing weapons compliment which can only be used in brute strength and is vigorous enough to withstand most, if not all ships that can be thrown against it.
One of the special features of the crafts weaponry is that all of the weapons onboard are equipped with DER (Dedicated Energy Receptors) which search and locate weak destinations on enemy shields or hull points. These DERs are fitted all around the ship to locate the most valuable target of the weapons of the ship. Another quaint feature is that the weapons have been fitted with Synops-D14 Tracking Systems in each of the turrets to allow the turrets to lock and track the targets and fire till the target is destroyed or damaged to the suitable amount considered by the captain.
The ?CD also features these weapon implimentations not seen on any other craft in the galaxy:
*Weapons Blisters - A weapons blister is a blister protruding from the hull of the ?CD that is heavily laden with weapons. Weapons per blister include: 2 Quad Turbolasers, attached on the highest point of the blister (full rotation); and 4 Laser Gatlings, one on each side of the blister, and all parallel with each other. Since they're parallel, they sit on a bar. That bar, along with the gatlings, can rotate ninety degrees, so the gatlings can get a shot at anything relatively on the same plane. They also pivot up and down.
*Occult High Yield Proton Torpedo Arrays - In the hull for most of the time, these torpedo arrays only come out to quickly empty a salvo of one dozen proton torpedoes at a given target before submerging again to reload. Tracking must take place while surfaced. Each array contains 3 salvos, and only takes 40 seconds to reload.
*Ion Pulse Bombs – The Ion Pulse Bomb is a new weapon that severely damages ship systems within the explosions 3 km blast radius, much like its sister weapon, the ion cannon. The ?CD contains only 5 IPB launchers, and each launcher contains only one bomb. The Ion Pulse Bombs have 135 SBD shielding which deactivates just prior to impact or detonation. The IPBs travels at 220 MGLT, and have minimal directional adjustment capabilities. The IPBs will not detonate within 5 kilometers of the ?CD craft. 4,200 SBD potential destructive capability.
The Engines
The new KDY Fusial Thrust engines incorporated for the ? Class Command Destroyers are augmented for their best performance. The Engines work by taking the same technology from regular fusion power generators but taking the energy and creating it into thrust. The crafts engines first gather positively charged particles and negatively charged particles and fuse them, making a sudden burst of energy, which is captured in the large cache barrels. They are then fed through specialized turbines that augment the power for thrust purposes and makes one heck of a push, even doubling the sublite speed of a regular Ion Drive. Due to extreme mass of the ship, the engines do not propel the craft as fast as they normally should for a smaller sized craft. However, the ?CD still remains one of the fastest moving starships of this size to date. This Engine system was also incorporated in TNO’s Reign-Class Star Destroyer.
The Power Systems
The RCD's 3 power cores are WF-158 TB-42 Terawatt Fusion Reactors. The fusion process is a deuterium/tritium reaction that can fuse the fuel elements in a containment chamber using conversion lasers. The He4 byproduct of the reaction is kept separately and is vented at regular intervals. The power is drawn off of the reactor by a closed-cycle liquid potassium cooling system, running off into an induction torus which can use the intense magnetic field created by the superheated potassium to generate electric power. The ship may be destroyed by an authorized crew member by overriding the reactor cooling system and bleeding off coolant, which initiates a supercritical reaction in the containment area. After the activation of the self-destruct device, the crew has ten minutes to get far enough from the ship before it's reactor explodes. So far in recorded history this is the highest ranking power core known in the galaxy. Both of these reactors make a total of 13,560 PUs which indeed makes this starship fully powered, with plenty to spare. To reduce the risk of overload power, one of the reactors is to be shut down while not in production to produce 9,040 PUs, but when in combat the reactor is turned back on due to the major systems power intake.
The Security Systems
The security system onboard the Reign-class Destroyers is that of the Cybrax D109 security system. The system incorporates a revolutionary new way to apprehend any unauthorized personnel or boarders. The system works by covering the floor with a system of layered Gravity Intensifiers just like the Ubrikkian R-TechApp Man Trap which uses increased gravity to pull any intruder to the floor in seconds. To be more precise the system's reversed repulserfield intensifies a starships gravity, creating a strong gravity field that is localized into sections on the floor (such sections allow the capture of precise targets using security cameras) making any attempt to avoid this system futile. Settings of the system range from 1 to 8 gravitys (Gs) making this system very strong. On a starship a setting of 4 Gs is more than enough to subdue a human but not enough to stop a Wookie. By contrast the 8 G setting will trap any angry Gundark with the slightest of ease. With the advent of no troopers to subdue the captured intruders the automated blasters in the area will stun them until sufficient troops arrive.
Summary/Overview Notes
The New Order’s need for a greater sized Fleet Command Craft has become apparent in recent days. Prior the ? Class Command Destroyer, The New Order was not using any craft of a size between that of the Allegiance-Class Super Star Destroyers and the Ebony Vigilance, its 18 km Eclipse-Class Super Star Destroyer. At ? meters, the ?CD is clearly distinguishable from other Imperial craft as a command ship; and a superb one, at that.
Because it is a command craft and has heavy support from other ships in the fleet, it was not necessary for the ?CD to house massive amounts of troops for planet deployment. And when a craft does not require troops, it also does not require troop transport or planetary vehicular transport. This saves, literally, upwards of a thousand square feet of space that would usually be devoted to such things on a craft of the ?CDs size. As is evident by the crafts massive amount of weaponry, incredible shield rating, and engine speed, this space was effectively utilized for power generation.
With its innovative weapons systems, security systems, advanced propulsion and power generation techniques, speed, and brute strength, the ? Class Command Destroyer may yet prove to be one of the Empire’s greatest creations.
