Predator Class Heavy Cruiser

The Predator Class Heavy Cruiser, also called the Predator Class Interdictor, was known to be one of the most heavily armed warships within the Yul Navy. A warship designed to deliver a payload of hurt upon their foes. It does also serve as an interdictor. The Predator was also used by some low ranked members of the Yul Navy as a capital ship.

Background:
The Predator Class Heavy Cruiser was manufactured by Masuhiro Drive Yards to serve as both an interdictor and warships. It was designed based upon the need to keep enemies from escaping their grasp and the need to penetrate enemy shields. The Predator was the only Yul vassal capable of dealing massive damage to enemy ships before their shields have fallen.

Armament:
As it was designed to penetrate enemy shields, a majority of the Predator's weaponry consist of shield penetrating warheads. Spread across the ships hull were 20 Proton Torpedo Launcher, 20 Mass Driver Missile Launchers and 20 Concussion Missile Launchers.

For a little extra firepower and defence while reloading it's shield penetrating weaponry, the Predator was also armed with 300 Quad Turbolasers and 300 Duel Ion Cannons.

Systems:
The operating systems of the Predator Class Heavy Cruiser were not as great as the Devastation Class, it did require a powerful reactor. The Predator thus makes use of a MK VI Crytonic Crystal Reactor with rare Crytonic Crystals as a fuel source.

To deal with the extra power, 2 MK V Cryo Shield Generators were installed upon the ships bridge. In addition, 5 Gravity Well Generators were located along the ships upper hull.

Appearance:
The Predator shared many similarities with the Old Republic's hammerhead ships while also sporting ancient Sith design cues such as dagger shapes extruding from the sides near the engines to house the Gravity Well Generators.

Complement:
While the Predator was a warship, it wasn't designed with the intention of carrying much fighter crafter or ground forces, as a result, the Predator has a single starfighter wing comprised entirely of Aether Class Fighters. The Predator did house a complement of crew such as Helltroopers, Yul Warriors, Yul War Droids for defence and Yul Navy Droids.
