Ascendancy class Star Destroyer

The Ascendancy-class Star Destroyer, also known as the Kaylen-class Star Destroyer was a star destroyer built by Voss-Gorma Heavy Engineering, unlike models built by Voss-Ka Shipyards, the Ascendancy implemented new design ideologies and military doctrines as well as borrowing elements from many Imperial ships such as Imperial I-class Star Destroyers. It saw Service during the New Republic era under the Voss Ascendancy, later it served as a vanguard for the Ascendancy Navy during their invasion on the Core Worlds, and saw extensive action during the earlier conquest of the Outer Rim where it excelled against New Republic warships.

Dimensions
Albeit smaller than First Order Resurgent-class Star Destroyers, the Ascendancy-class Star Destroyer was 2,100.80 meters in length and emulated the dagger-shaped design of Imperial warships but also feature a narrow split running down the center of the ship and stopping at the midsection. This design was based more heavily on Ancient Sith Dreadnoughts such as the Harrower-class Dreadnoughts.

Designed for light carrier operations, and advanced ship-to-ship combat capabilities, it served as the pinnacle of Ascendancy power and capabilities. It greatly outclassed many of the larger New Republic warships and even the Resurgent-class Star Destroyers.

Crew Requirements
Ascendancy-class Star Destroyers featured a complement of 12,000 officers, 45,000 enlisted, under 6,000 Stormtroopers, and just over 7,000 Voss Marines. Due to the ships smaller size and advanced Voss technology crews didn't have to work long shifts, and if they did they worked in teams of 7 which thanks to advanced ship computers made their job easier. Ascendancy-class vessels featured a crew recreation center and sickbay located in the lower half of the midsection. Upper habitation levels near the primary command bridge were reserved for senior command staff.

Ascendancy-class vessels feature a small battalion of Stormtroopers, unlike the First Order the Ascendancy after gaining several Imperial worlds and conquering many Imperial Warlords still left had a small number of Stormtroopers these served an elite role and weren't as heavily relied on. Stormtroopers followed orders of Officers at all times regardless of rank. A TIE pilot training and briefing complex existed adjacent to the starboard hangar. While engineering personnel habitation areas were located at the bottom of the ship, near the reactor core. The ship featured a detention center in its upper midsection, slightly closer to the bow of the vessel. Due to their slight technophobic nature due to the Clone Wars, the Voss use relay lanes built into the walls of the vessels allowing for speedy, efficient, and quick communications to the various areas of the ship. This proved useful in countering boarding actions, and sending commands quickly.

Offensive and defensive systems
Featuring over 1,498 turbolasers and ion cannons, Ascendancy-class vessels were designed for carrier operations, orbital assaults, and slugging it out with enemy ships. Powerful and advanced turbolaser batteries were able to rip through enemy ships and punch holes in the enemy armor. They also can reduce cities to Molton skeletons. The Ascendancy-class was able to deliver high rates of firepower and had a quick recharge rate. The weapons used advanced Dark Matter Crystals which caused the Turbolaser of the Ascendancy to rip through enemy shielding and destroy enemy vessels hulls.

Smaller point-defense turrets and missile emplacements served as complements to the heavy weapons, it also uses advanced weapons such as Proton Torpedo cannons. Being able to track and destroy smaller and more agile ships. Both starboard and port sides of the stern featured standard turbolaser batteries, while heavy turbolaser turrets and an axial defense turret were located at the bow. The ships turret firing control center was located at the aft and was protected underneath the larger rear portion of the ship. Ion cannon targeting was located on the ship's port side near the front. The ship's tractor beam projector was located at the very tip of the bow, while the flight deck deflector shield projector was located a short distance behind. A bridge point-defense turret also helped further defend the bridge from starfighter attack.

Complement
Ascendancy-class Star Destroyers typically carried 4 starfighter wings of both TIE/JO space superiority fighters, VN-1 ADS (Assualt Droid Starfighters), and TIE/KA Heavy Bombers.

The Ship featured both lateral starboard and portside hangers entrances, with hangar flight control bridges overseeing activities in both bays. The logistics hangar reception bay and ground vehicle storage were located near the main hangar. Another lateral flight deck was located in the ship's bow and was used as a staging area for full-scale invasion operations. Overall, the Ascendancy-class can launch its full complement of starfighters, and bombers quickly. This fits in with its role as a self-sustaining carrier. For ground assault, an Ascendancy-class Star destroyer carried 100 Imperium-class Assualt Carriers, several speeders, and numerous ground vehicles.

Propulsion systems
The Ascendancy-class was powered by a single large Dual-Dark Matter Reactor housed in a pyramid-shaped containment vessel hidden in the triangle shaped midsection. he massive reactor was supported by a reinforced reactor superstructure and hull chassis. The reactor engineering control deck oversaw reactor-based activities. The large atmospheric processing complex and reactant ducts were located behind the reactor containment vessel.

The ship was propelled by four engines, three huge Dark matter engines, and one smaller dark Ion engine. These engines required a subsidiary reactor, reactant silos and isotope containment wells at the stern. There, extra power would be derived while the coolant silo and pumps would help lower the temperature of the massive engines. Around the large, circular engines were the main engine thrust nozzles, while the smaller engines would utilize secondary thrust nozzles to help bring greater control over the ship. The hyperdrive generator was located at the very end of the ship's aft section.

Bridge tower
The Bridge tower had a wedge-shape which improved its overall defense and had improved shielding. It also had increased redundancy in command and control systems. The bridge was slightly taller but narrower tower not surprisingly made the tower less noticeable and at times enemy pilots will fly right by the enemy bridge.

History
Following the end of the Clone Wars, the Voss Confederation implemented Phase III of its militarization program. Kaylen-Un spearheaded this militarization and designed several new warships including a prototype version of the Ascendancy-class Star Destroyer. Kaylen with the aid of Voss Mystic Daylen-Vi predicted a new Outsider threat one that included a Dark One. Kaylen and the Phalanx quickly gained power through the Voss Senate in 20 BBY she was elected Consulate where she used her newfound power to develop several new warships, defensive stations, starfighters, and weapons in prepartion for this new threat.

In 19 BBY the Galactic Empire launched an invasion of Voss space to gain access to advanced Voss Technology and resources. Grand Admiral Thrawn and Darth Vader led this invasion, however, due to Kaylen's carefully preparing her forces and her brutal cunning. Kaylen deployed several new warships including the Ascendancy-class Star Destroyers and the Spartacus-class Battlecruisers. These were instrumental in stalling and eventually pushing the Galactic Empire out of Voss space. Using this and the earlier Separatist invasion, and Battle of Gator's Claw, the Ascendancy was formed in 34 ABY. The Phalanx Militarist and Kaylen-Un believed in the superiority of the Voss species and that they must adapt and become great warriors.

The Ascendancy would serve as the Vanguard of the Ascendancy Expeditionary Flotilla, serving a vital role in the Brutal expansion of the Ascendancy known as Operation "Reaver" which saw the Ascendancy take thousands of worlds in the Outer Rim from Imperial warlords and other fractions. The Ascendancy even fought against the New Republic over the Planet Sol III in the unknown regions, eventually conquering the planet and driving the New Republic from the planet. Following the Rise of the First Order, the two entered a brutal Cold War and arms race, in which the Ascendancy won with the destruction of Starkiller Base and the Mega-Class Star destroyer. The Ascendancy would led
